Library News j ~iWe noted that anotnsr column got the jump on us last week and entered a very niee article about one of our books, which it spoke of as The Blue Book. We are go ing one better and speak of two books. One of these is close kin to the “Blue Book” spoken of last week but the o;her is of another tribe altogether. We shall speak if this last one fi 'st. Not to have mentioned this book in our first column is some what “puttinj the cart before the horse,” since il speaks of books in general. The ftle is “Making the Most of Baok^” a:;-.: it was writ ten by Headley. Any student who reads this book in the begin- nin? of his college days 13 pecu liarly blessed. And the nice thing about the book is that it is very delightful reed ng. When you once begin it you want to continue, not nerely to gat the contents, but it has a very pleasing way of hold ing you. Now for the second ‘ Biue Book.” None of us doubts for a minute that Emily Post, in her standard work on etiquette, has told us how to do the right ‘Alngj in the right way at the right time, but we don’t always find it easy to follow her in our plain and simple everyday living, bul we have found another that docs help us with ur daily problems.
