Still others are like the earth worms and burrow beneath the sii-fnce and'leive a trail of slime behind them when they come up to the air. Alma Newton, who wrote "Love' Letters of a Mystic" and has Just produced "Memories." Is like the spider. Her new- book deals with the recollections of an unfilled love of a woman for u man, with the love of a girl for her father and the love of u father for his child. It Is tlu' kind of romantic writing that one expects from sentl nental Irls i ""i c whose knowledge of life Is gained from books. They at tempt to write what they would like to have happen til them, Such parsons will like Alma Newton's "Memories."
