The New Year, when the shops are selling off their surplus Christmas stock, is a great time for the bargain-hunters, and competent observers have assured us that every woman is a bargain-hunter at heart.

Amongst historians of the modern type, whose books are as lively and readable as most novels, Emil Ludwig holds a high place. His books on 'Napoleon,' 'Bismarck' and 'Kaiser Wilhelm ' have aroused much interest in England, and the two latter especially have given a new interpretation of the most keenly debated questions in modern political history.

Theodore Komisarjevsky
After Mme. Aino Kallas, Lion Feuchtwanger and Karel Capek, Theodore Komisarjevsky takes his turn to tell us how we and our country impress a foreigner. He cannot claim to be a stranger, for he has been here long enough to become recognized as one of the foremost producers working in the London theatre. Amongst many productions for which he has been responsible may be mentioned The Cherry Orchard at the Lyric, Hammersmith, and Paul I, at the Court Theatre. In these two cases he showed us how Russian plays of two very different types should be produced-for he was himself a friend of Chekov, and one of the most prominent personalities in the Russian theatre before the Revolution came.
