A SAMENESS
A very methodical Scotsman staying at an hotel used to read twenty pages of his book every day, recording his progress by a marker. A. wag put the marker back twenty pages every night. At the end of a week they asked tho reader how he liked his book. He replied, ‘‘lt’s a -verra interesting book, but there’s a certain amount .of repetition in it.” Cinemas, declares a• writer, are great .matchmakers. They certainly-•■seem to draw couples closer together.
