More Books of the Week

(Continued from page 980.) With the exception of a Christmas message from the Chairman, the Cunard Christmas Number, 1929, consists of a series of the most exquisite photographs, by photographers of world-wide reputations. " Across the Pool of London," reprinted from the Times, and its opposite number, " Lower New York," suggest much of the spirit of these two cities— besides being in themselves works of art. Mr. E. 0. Hoppe's " London in Winter " is a magnificent piece of work, and contrasts admirably with Miss Constance C. Wallace's " North Coast of St. Michael's, Azores." Undoubtedly the Cunard Christmas Number is a magazine to be kept in one's library as a refuge for eyes tired by the ugliness and squalor of many towns to-day. We do not know if this Number is available to the public, but we should be pleased to obtain copies for any reader who communicates with our Travel Bureau.
