A copy of Virginia Graham’s
interesting book, “H6ather Mix
ture” has been received by John
Washburn of the Tryon Book &
Paper Shop, and orders for ad
ditional copies have been forwarded
to England. The book is a collec
tion of prose and verse which have
appeared mostly in Punch, Vogue,
Night and Day and Design. The
book “bears all the hallmarks
which one would expect from one
of her name. With a witty pen she
delineates the follies and fancies of
social life and combines an in
herited habit of poking fun at
people with a happy sense of
humor—appeals to those who en
* joy satire in its kindliest form.”
It costs 5s net .... Thanks to
Eugene Turner for a copy of The
Shantung Daily News of Novem
ber 30th carrying notice of what
the paper thinks is the smallest
paper in the world published on
Thursday Island north of Austra
lia. Would like to see a copy of
the little paper which depends en
tirely on the wireless for its news
as there is nothing doing on the
island. The little paper has only
one advertisement and is printed
on one side only. The Turners
are at Tsingtao, the Chinese city
formerly held by Germany and
taken over by the Japs during
the World War
Troops clash again on Czech-
