I ROMANTIC FRANCE 'Stories Frem French History Colorful and Vivid i The story of France the "land be loved of every soul that loves Its fel low kind," ns Kipling says Is a tale as full of romance, of adventure, of drama, as the inns'.t inventive of Imagi nations could put down en paper. And K'eaner Price, lu her "Stories Frem French History" (Dedd, Mead & Ce.). has selected enensli from this plethora of material te suit any one. Her volume Is a ''onipllatien of tin chief events of France from the days of Caesar and Vcrclnsctmlx te the final exile of Napeleon. Although selecting only the "high spots." the entire i,tery of France is carried forth in a con nected manner, with a fprlnkliug heie and there of the touch of allusion and legend that removes the tediousness of the usual dry history. Although called "stories." the book is really "the story" of France, and well done. What Is a Feminist?
