Country Life and Sport A PLAYING PAMPHLET.
ONs: of the most charming and original pamphlets that ever vet were seen is being posted to every village in England. It is of a size to fit the waistcoat pocket, contains two naive but charming coloured pictures, and each dainty page has a few words of condensed wisdom " advantaged " by pleasing type. The adventure will cost a generous donor something in four figures, but the bread he is casting on the waters ought to return—buttered. The theme of the little book of some twelve pages in all, and each brief, is the playing field. Exact advice is given on every definite step to be taken in securing more pitches for games—football, tennis, bowls or what not— for the village. It is to be hoped that the village magnate, generally the chief parish councillor, who receives this in- structive and pleasing gift will let all his council see it. Its charm is imparted at a glance, its lesson acquired within five minutes by the most honest reader. Nothing better in the way of altruistic propaganda has been done in any direction.
