LOVE CONQUERS ALL
By Robert C. Benchley. Author of "Of All Things!"
All the publisher's copy men wrote up hill and wrote down again and they couldn't give any idea of how funny this book is. So one of them threw down his pen and said: "It Beats 'Of All Things!'" Why gild the butterfly? Robert Benchley's first book placed him at a bound in the very front rank of American humorists. This handsome and perfectly appointed young man is the wit of the day. Not to know him is to be in the outer darkness, as—well, as everybody knows. Many full-page illustrations by Gluyas Williams. $2.00
