Our author's hero is an excellent provincial tailor, who is also keen _Captain Smith_ in the Sheffingham Terriers. As tailor his chief customer, as soldier his contemptuous scandalised critic, is _Sir Dennys Broughton_, whose wayward flapper daughter _Betty_ is in the early fierce stages of revolt against the stuffiness of life at Grange Court, meets _Smith_ over some boys' club work, and, finding brains and dreams in him (a formidable contrast to her loafing brother), falls into passionate first-love. _Smith_ is just as badly if more soberly hit, and recognising the impossibility of the situation (quite apart from demonstrations by the alarmed _Broughtons_) decides to take his tape and shears to his London house of business. The date of all this being about the time of the misguided _Panther's_ fateful leap on Agadir. Act II. brings us to the second year of the War. Young _Broughton_, puppy no longer, is gloriously in it, and has just been gazetted to a Territorial regiment whose Colonel bears the not uncommon name of Smith. Our tailor, of course, and a rattling fine soldier too. Having discovered this latter fact and also formed a remarkably cordial relationship apparently in a single day, the enthusiastic cub subaltern (distemper and snobbishness over and done with) motors up his C.O., who is visiting his brother and partner, and brings him in to Grange Court on the way. _Sir Dennys_, now a brassarded private and otherwise a converted man, is still confoundedly embarrassed, and stands anything but easy in the presence of his youngster's Colonel. _Lady Broughton_, least malleable of the group, is frankly appalled by this new _mésalliance_. Perhaps Mr. TERRY'S version of blue-blooded insolence and fatuity is for his stage purpose rather crudely coloured, but who shall say that the doctrine that a man in khaki who has been an elementary schoolmaster or a tailor is a man for a' that, is quite universally accepted in the best circles even in this year of grace? _Betty_, now a grown girl in the cynical stage, revenges herself with feline savagery on the knight of the shears for the imagined slight of his defection. Act III. is dated 19? just after peace is declared. The tailor is not (as I half expected) back in his shop, but a _Brigadier-General Smith, V.C._, is being invested with the freedom of Sheffingham and is making a spirited attack on the defences of _Betty_. She puts up enough of a fight to ensure a good Third Act, and capitulates charmingly to the delight, now, of all the _Broughton_ household--butler included. I hope Mr. TERRY is right and that the places taken in this great war game of _General Post_ and the values registered will have permanence.
