LAUGH AND LIVE
A WONDERFUL BOOK OF INSPIRATION
By DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
The Man Who Set the World to Laughing—and
Kept Himself Happy and Well.
Many are the inspirational books that now abound written around the various phases of existence, but "Laugh and Live" is a thing apart from any other. Perhaps it is the author's style of writing, sort of "hammer and tongs," breezy, convincing, seeming to come out of real experience. But the remarkable quality of the book is that it fascinates the mind the same as a high-class novel—grips one's faculties from chapter to chapter. There is no preaching, no "Fatherliness," no "Big I" and "Little You" in the text. It is more like the talk of a widely experienced comrade back from a voyage. Asked to tell what he saw in his travels he proceeds to do it modestly and well.

A SPLENDID GIFT FOR A BRIDE
This volume is not the usual dull plodding kitchen cook book made up from "collected" recipes and enlivened by photographic reproductions of cakes, pies, roasted turkeys, and tables set with knives and forks placed "just so." Rather it is the "life and adventures" of "Bob" and "Bettina," who sail into the complexities of housekeeping the moment the wedding journey is at an end. Bettina's "know-how," plus "Bob's" good-natured helpfulness, bring about immediate success to a lively and interesting attempt at home-building.
Unique—practical—for two people in particular and small families in general. For economy and plenty at one and the same time it has no equal.
