...thereafter I suppose "the sky will be the limit" to advertising. I am one of those who is overfed with advertising and have cancelled my subscription to a number of magazines and publications which force advertising into the reading pages and insist that the reader must take this meretricious hash, whether he wants to or not. I have already written once before protesting against what I consider an insufferable impertinence on the part of modern publishers, to whom the advertiser is the commanding force and who treat the convenience of the readers with contempt.

E. Matthews and Constance Collier depict the languid...
...Page?Burton J. Hendrick?Houghton Mifflin ($5.00). The two-volume life and letters of Walter H. Page, Wartime ambassador to England, were worthy best sellers. That a third volume should now appear, antedating the others in subject matter, suggests the frequent publishing ruse of selling a dull re-hash on the strength of the original success. Nothing of the sort is true in this case, partly because of Burton Hendrick's studied sense of the dramatic, mostly because of the essential fullness of Page's life before he ever thought of ambassadorship.
