Susy (Jilvarry was a girl se full of
life and of se adventurous spirit that
her parents called her Trouble-Heuse.
This name has been used as the title
of a book about her by Kate Jerdan,

The book begins with Susy nt the nge
of eight, being overcome by the story
of the end of the world, as' it was de
scribed te her by her Sunday school
teacher. As -.he had a constructive im
agination she began te picture te herself
the sight of the graves yawning and
giving up their dend. She was in terror
for hours until she recalled that her
teacher told her that tin end would
come when no one was thinking of it.
Thereupon she set herself the task of
postponing the dreadful day all by h'r
self and thinking of It euntitiueus' . The
result was that she worried herself
sick. When her fears have been nlkiwd
and she recovers she wants te he n twin.
And then in her fondness for babies sin
runs off with an infant that In- Mud
in a baby carriage outside of a grererx
store. She 'falls In love with her
music teacher, and recovers en! when

When Kvelyn Kerwln went te New New

novelist, Jane Burr didn't hnvp her
take her writings into some "fictlonls "fictlenls

When later she had a play te produce,
she took it straight te Wlnthrep Ames
and en the first night she snw through
Miss Burr's eyes Ileywoed Breun,
Alan Dale and ethers of the "elect"
without whom a New Viirk tirst night
just couldn't possibly be.
Which all means that Miss Jiurr lias
given n novel twist te her story of
twisted love by a realistic atmosphere
I that is net tee much se, but adds a
I pleasitiR air of verisimilitude The story
itself is cleverly constructed and tells
of the Greenwich Village marriage of a
1 euiig Ilehemia-seeker. Hubby is of
the type that hns ideas and ideals, but
prefers ethers even a wife shall de
the labor. The shattering of the love
; tie and the finding of material suc-
i ress. nnd nessihlv real affection, prove
' the climax, of course. Leve affairs of
The Village are becoming monotonous
in notion, but "The (Moriens nope ts
refreshingly true te life without being
tee bold and furnishes an hour or two
of reading onje incut. And then, tee.
it puts Breun and his chum. Alex

Frem Nebula te Man
"Our World." by Charles Harvey
Peek (Franklu.w Press). Is a study of
origins according te science. The book
might falrlv be called an "outline of
science." It presents the chief features
of physical science from the origin of
the earth te the evolution of the mind.
It is free from the usual technical de
tails that prevent the general reader
from seeing the subject as a whole.
The long read from nebula te man Is
traversed In Mr. Peck's book. As
tronomy, geology, chemistry, biology
and psychology supply the stages nnd
climaxes of the romance of man's life
en his planet.

The adventures of Billy Byrne, thug and gunman in
the underworlds of "Chi" and "Frisce," en hismysteri'
eus cruise te'the unexplored islands of the Pacific
make a yarn as strange and as vivid as even the
famous Tarzan tales.
A woman "one e' them high-brew skirts" taught Billy
the real meaning of the word "coward." And the most
astonishing thing in the book is the development of
character of these two whom fate threw together in
the strangest of circumstances.
Tarzan readers will welcome "The Mucker" with enthusiasm.

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.

THE GREAT DECEPTION
By SAMUEL COLCORD
By a compelling array of facts makes clear as day
light the meaning and mandate of the vote as te
peace. It was NOT te scrap the League of Nations.
What Mr. Harding said:
"Whoever will take the time
te read and ponder Mr. Loth Leth
rnp Stoddard's book en 'The
Rising Tide of Celer' must real
ize that our race problem here
in the United States is only a
phase of a race issue that the
whole world confronts. Surely
we shall gain nothing by blink
ing the facts, by refusing te
give thought te them. That is
net the American way of ap
proaching such issues."
