Snapshots such as this can be posed any time now-and will make cherming, Inexpensive Christmas cards.
ABOUT this time each year, I blocks with big loiters on them, try observo n ring of red inklining up the blocks so they apell around a date on my calendar, and "Morry Christmas," Thon pose the a note on the margin—"Timo to child besido thom, holding, perhaps, think about Christning cards.” It's n] the last letter ready to place it in warning that has saved me lots of position-and you have a sok-up for trouble in the past, and that is why a story-telling picture. I am passing it along to you now.
Naturally, every dyed-in-the wool photographer likes to design his Christinas card around one of

I'VE STOPPED GOING
TO LECTURES
Say. A STUDENT"
It has always been a favourite practice for students to "skip" certain of their less important classes, but very few of them fail to attend lectures entirely. That, however, is the policy which I have recently adopted; so far it has proved most successful,
instead of hurrying over my breakfast In order to be in tune for a nine o'clock cinas,. I spend an extra half-hour in bed and gain that rest which a student so much requires. Then 1 breakfast and depart for the Public Library, where I Gave formed the habit of studying, in this way my day usually begins about

in this way I am learning to work for myself and, above all, to work at my own pace. Perhaps I may be life behind the other members of my class, perhaps I may be a 10u 11 front of them. But in any case I am the master of all my studies, for am 1 not puzzling everything out by myself?. And is not inla the best method of studying?
The student who attends lectures 1 very apt to miss half of what is dictated to him. The lecturer may not even trou- ble to spell any terms which are new to his students, in which case the loan là entirely that of the student. Moreover, the nales of the lecture-altending studenta are usually 'a confused ́mass of strange words and unintelligible phrases.

British Labour leaders have had to undergo Concentration Camp" brut- allties. One who has is Emmeline Pothick-Lawrence, who has just written My Part in a Changing World (Gollancz, 155.). Another is her husband, Fred, who was Labour's Financial Secretary to the Treasury from 1029 to 1931,
Bix times she went to prison in her Suffragrito daya. She and her hus band both experienced the horrors of forcible feeding
It was on the day that the Gover- ment decided to submit them to it that George Lansbury strode up the floor of The House of Coinmons and shouted at Asquith, You will go down to history as the man who tortured innocent women."

"Will the country not cry 'Halt!' before this horror is upon us?" thun- dered the Daily Herald."
But the Government refused to budge. The Lawrences started their hunger-strike, and both were forcibly fed. Emmeline was soon released. So was her husband later, because "he became very weak."
Those days in prison were like a watershed in the life of the Lawrences.
A day or two before they had both stood side by side in the dock with Mrs. Pankhursi-on trial for "com" spiracy" because one afternoon their women followers had emarhed hun. dreds of plate glass windows all over the West End.
They made a tremendous trio in the dock. Fred's defence of himself wRA s masterpiece.
But that was before their days l prison. When they came out, there came the split,

It is hard to say. The splendid thing about this book is the tremendous credit that Mrs. Pettilek-Lawrence gives to the "Panks."
But in the long run the Lawrences come out on top. In 1927 Mrs. Pank. hurst was adopted ns Tory candidate for Whitechapel. She had lost interest in making great social changes.
Not so the Lawrences. They stuck to their job as reformers. For them bulfding a better Britain did not stop at winning votes for women. Not by a very long way,

ROMANCE
ITH very odd. but the more "out
spoken" the romance nowadasa the more inen seem to be struck dumb when it comes to saying those Three Little Words. "I love you." The shyest Victorian, I fear, would have put them
to shame,
Yot even Mr. Cain falters. On Page 101 the singer tries to make himself say. "I love you." and falls dians trouzly. What a hero
Kate O'Brien is almost old-fashioned In comparison. In Pray for the Wanderer Heinemann, 78. 8d.) one of the lovers is star-crossed and another is rejected. But they could boll teach Mr. Cain's young man a thing or two when it comes tá proposing.
The plot? A successful novelist, dis. appointed in love, retreats to the home of his childhood in Ireland and almost losra his half-broken heart to Nell. one of the most attractive women you 210 has could ever hope to meet. to return without her. though she- but that shall be Miss O'Brien's story. She is an author who prefers the pleasures of a jaunting car to the ex citements of an Alfa Romeo, But the never falters, Her scenes and her people live.

We'll end romantic reading with Anfact Sabatini's The Historial Nights' Entertainment (Hutchinson, 89. d.), the third volume in a series which started over twenty years ago.
Henry the Eighth and Anna Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth and the Earl of Essex, Catherino do Medlel, Christina of Sweden, Maria Theresa, Catherine of Russin-here they all are, stepping out bravely in the Love Parade of the
Witnesa James M. Cain's new story Serenade (Cape, s. 6d.). Incidentally you may remember the author as the man who warned us that the Past Centuries. man Always Rings Twice.
