Royal Blue Book, 1911. (Kelly's Directories. 5s. net.)—The Spring edition

of that most useful book, the Royal Blue Book, is specially welcome to those who want to be sure of the exact ad- dresses of their friends in London. In addition to the usual names are given the addresses of those persons by whom houses have been taken for the season only. These names, of which we are told several hundred are given in the present edition, are dis- tinguished by being put in italics. By this means people will be able, in address hunts, to run to earth that shyest of social foxes, the family which has taken a house in London till August.
