AMERICAN ADVERTISING.
■ ♦ The following is from an American advertisement of Mr Rudyard Kipling's new novel, " Kirn " : — " In its basic outlines it is a simple story, almost as simple as ' Robinson Crusoe,' although so greatly more complicated in its workings . . . But what a wealth of gifts has gone to enrich this classically simple outline ; what people we mcct — soldiers and horse- traders, priests and scholars, a babu quoting Spencer, and fearing magic, veiled women whom we have never seen, but whom we should recognise if we did, so sharply has their personality been bitten into our consciousness . . and every creature of the crowding throng warm and solid, a human being whom we meet and know." They certainly understand this kind of thing in the States.
