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 order 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."
