I WROTE A BOOK SOME TIME AGO WHICH WAS DEDICATED TO "THREE FINE MEN." THIS IS A SMALLER BOOK. THEREFORE, I DEDICATE IT TO TWO FINE MEN:

EUGENE F. SAXTON
CHRISTOPHER MORLEY

These little what-you-call-'ems, with the exception of the opening one and the concluding ones, all appeared originally in the Saturday Magazine of the New York Evening Post. They are reprinted here by the courtesy of the editors of that otherwise estimable newspaper. For permission to reprint the opening paper The Bookman is to blame.
