In this month's issue Aussie has effectively blown over the oft-quoted line, “A policeman’s life is not a happy one,” for, on the subject of the policeman, the cheerful monthly has produced a wonderful issue of laughter. Aussie has taken the John Hop from the tip of his helmet to the soles of his feet ami made him a subject of riotous mirth. Most humorists have confined themselves to policemen’s feet for their gags, but Aussie has discovered humour even in his tunic buttons. This special issue is one of a series of special numbers.
The fifth of a notable series dealing with the authentic life-story of Queen Mary is contained in the July number of Everylady’s Journal. “ Mode.rn Chinese Women,” “ Some ‘ Back-Stage ’ Secrets: Zillah Bateman and Mary MacGregor,” and “ The Fut ility of Fashionable Life: An American Woman in Paris,” arc other special articles, while fiction in the number includes “ The Last Drift,” by Jane England, and “ The Gallant Maid,” by Christine Jopc-Slade. Crossword puzzles still continue, to be the rage in Humour, which is an exceedingly bright magazine, and keeps its readers in touch with the laughter of every country on the globe.
