"A sketch too good to miss. Deliciously
humorous."--_Baltimore Sun._

"Delightful. Jovial and joyous as a fat man's hearty
laugh."--_Chicago Record-Herald._

"A brilliant story, sympathetically illustrated."--_New York
American._

"Fortify yourself when you start the story. If you don't, you
may disturb the passengers by laughing right out loud."--_San
Francisco Bulletin._

"Many laughs between the covers. The story is told with
spirit and a constant sense of humor."--_New York Saturday
Review of Books._

"Now and again you have the extreme luck to run across a book
that is really FUNNY. Not the machine-made, madly-advertised
type. 'The Need of Change' is the kind that usually you pick
up by accident, start to run through casually, find yourself
startled into a chuckle by some unexpected humorous line, and
end by reading every word with zest and hustling around to
loan it to your friends.... Keeps the reader in one
continuous howl; the fun never becomes forced. A
gem!"--_Philadelphia Item._
