REVIEWS.
That clever little weekly magazine “Humour” appears to improve with each issue and whoever has the selection of the world’s representation of wit in its pages does his work well. Within the compass of thirty-six pages there is such a feast of laughter that is to he had in very few papers. ( One of the big secrets of “Aussie’s” wonderful popularity is that its cheerfulness is of the universal kind —it must appea lto everybody. In the latest isspe there is enough humour in the sixty-eight pages to keep one chuckling for a week. To quote only one joke: Says the vicar over the afternoon tea'cups: “I hope you will come to my lecture on Keats tomorrow evening.” His /fair replies: “I shall be delighted; but mav I ask, vicar, what are keats?” Relieving the big feast of laughter are some interesting pars in the book and stage pages and some excellent verse from such well-known poets as Rod Quinn, “Dinkum Oil,” and Louise Esson. New Zealand writers and artists are well represented. Next month “Aussie” publishes its big Xmas Number.
