Part 9
We've got to finish those Germans quickly and thoroughly so that Louis and Angele and I can set sail for America. If that is not a reason for ending this war, find me a better one!
THE END
WHERE THE SOULS OF MEN ARE CALLING
The first big love story to come out of the war zone--founded on fact more strange, more powerful than fiction.
The author, Lt. Credo Harris, stationed in France with the International Red Cross, is a Kentuckian. He just couldn't keep out of it "Over There." His story starts with the entrance of America into the war and ends on the firing line of France. There is charm and skill in his style which insures keenest interest on the part of the reader.

LAUGH AND LIVE
A WONDERFUL BOOK OF INSPIRATION
By DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
_The Man Who Set the World to Laughing--and Kept Himself Happy and Well._
Many are the inspirational books that now abound written around the various phases of existence, but "Laugh and Live" is a thing apart from any other. Perhaps it is the author's style of writing, sort of "hammer and tongs," breezy, convincing, seeming to come out of real experience. But the remarkable quality of the book is that it fascinates the mind the same as a high-class novel--grips one's faculties from chapter to chapter. There is no preaching, no "Fatherliness," no "Big I" and "Little You" in the text. It is more like the talk of a widely experienced comrade back from a voyage. Asked to tell what he saw in his travels he proceeds to do it modestly and well.

A THOUSAND WAYS TO PLEASE A HUSBAND
By LOUISE BENNETT WEAVER and HELEN COWLES LE CRON
_With Decorations in Color_ By ELIZABETH COLBORNE
_A SPLENDID GIFT FOR A BRIDE_
This volume is not the usual dull plodding kitchen cook book made up from "collected" recipes and enlivened by photographic reproductions of cakes, pies, roasted turkeys, and tables set with knives and forks placed "just so." Rather it is the "life and adventures" of "Bob" and "Bettina," who sail into the complexities of housekeeping the moment the wedding journey is at an end. Bettina's "know-how," plus "Bob's" good-natured helpfulness, bring about immediate success to a lively and interesting attempt at home-building.
Unique--practical--for two people in particular and small families in general. For economy and plenty at one and the same time it has no equal.

UNCLE BILL'S LETTERS TO HIS NIECE
By RAY BROWN
Here's as gay a little gift as any girl could wish. Bright, sparkling and joyous--letters from a matter-of-fact old uncle who talks to his young niece straight from the shoulder, exactly as he might to a boy.
Uncle Bill gives facts about moonlight, becomes violent over athletics, taboos snobbery, takes a fling at heredity, and touches up a few complexions.
The result is extravagantly and deliciously funny--Just the Book for an Ingenue.
