RANDOM MEMORIES
ENGLISH CIVIL SERVANT " In the brief preface to his autobiography, Mr. 11. W. Harris "hums and ha's" as to whether or not the life of a civil servant is humdrum and finally gives judgment in his title, "Not So Humdrum." After reading this collection of his reminiscences one is inclined to disagree with his decision. But "these notes," as he calls them, are enlivened by anecdotes of the "good old days," by memories of personal encounters with such men of state as the Chamberlains Lloyd George, Lord Stamp and others, and by reproductions of some of tlio author's articles in Punch. "Not So Humdrum," by It. AV. Harris. (The Bodley Head.)
