As a rule one will not make a mistake in choosing juvenile classics, tested by time and approved by those whose opinions on such subjects are valuable. But there are good reasons why the new pooks should not be. ignored, and in the case of them the pur- |, chaser may have to exercise his own | Judgment. If you are not familiar with the contents of the library of the | child for whom the gift is intended, you are less likely to duplicate some- thing which he already has if you choose a new book in preference to an old one, If he (or she) is much | {interested in modern things llke aero- | planes or radig er the world war, you probably will please more by giving 4 book dealing with them than by giving a classic of your own child- hood. Due oui on be had for THE BRITISH ELECTIONS, Thé Canadian public were pretty well prepared for the results of the | elections in Great BPitain, and any | surprise felt here is chiefly in re- | gard to the defeat of individual fa. vorites and the recovery of Labor.

His attitudes | in backing Greece against Turkey | and thereby creating a 'buffer state | has been held against him by much | of the influential press. This was {also a contributory cause . Then | again even if the majority of his followers had been elected he could wi not have had more than a group in NG | the new house, which however effec tive, would be unlikely to héld the balance of power. ; The rather hopeless manifesto of | the Asquith section of the Liberal | party was not likely to catch the | imagination of the British electur. { The Labor group, however, showed ++. 8800| very notfteable gains and in spite of Sis 35an the defeat of the doughty leader, Arthur Henderson, they will present a solid fighting force in the new parliament. Mr. Bonar Law alone had a fa! ticket and though he has in no sense swept the country, it seems likely that he has a working majority which may be steadily augmented by a succession of by-elections. That much advertised man, Winston Churchill, will not represent Dua- dee, nor will Sir Arthur Griffiths appear in the next parliament. Lady | Astor, however, is returned by a | handsome majority.
