THE PAPER SHORTAGE.

TO OUR READERS.—The shortage of paper has obliged us to adopt the policy, already adopted by many of our contemporaries, of refusing to allow the " Spectator" to be "on sale or return." All that it is necessary for readers to do is to place a definite crder at any of the Railway Bookstalls or with their Newsagent instead of relying upon casual purchases. Should any reader, however, experience difficulty in obtaining the " Spectator," we trust he will at once write to "The Manager, Spectator Office, 1 Welling- ton Street, Strand, London, W.C. 2."
