* * * * There are twenty-five delicate and delightful

essays in It Occurs to Me (Methuen, 8s. 6d.), about the colds Mr. E. V. Knox catches, the fowls he keeps, the oil gushers he does not invest in, and a film of Jonah which is described as "one of the most remarkable maritime frissons we have been privileged to witness on the wordless stage." Perhaps " Evoe " has written and will write more effervescent pieces than these, but they are all good fun.
