CAMPUSEER
Among other things it seems that sonic of that
notouous 0 E crowd had a picnic out Scotia wav
hist week-end. Little Nancy Ream took it into her
head to stray away fiom the festivities, and in the
couise of her wandeimg she happened to take a mis
step (even the best of gnls take them) To her ut
most hoiror, constei nation, etc., she tumbled almost
the entile way down the shocked mountain befoie she
finally got stopped, and even then she came within an
nee (maybe a douce) of landing m the midst of a
puvate male swimming paity The little gal hasn't
been on speaking teims with mountains since.

They weic n couple of young mademoiselles from
the Fiench Institute and they walked along con
versing hesitantjv and quite audibly in what we pre
sume was Fiench They weie a charming pan and
really descived a couple of paragtaphs of dcsciiption
hut we must get on with the story. Wishing to be
affable and gentlemanly, we strolled up to them and
said m our most Gallic manner, “Good evening,
mademoiselles” They slightly clevnted then deli
cately powdered noses, and with the utmost disdain
and contempt nddiessed us in Fiench in such a way
os to make us suspect that theie weie boll weevils

we calmly drew ourselves up to out full height (six
feet one inch, nccoiding to the dispensary records)

Diverting, gav “tones lightly take
precedence with the hcut-atrickcn
these duvs, but there are degrees of
pleasure which last no further than
the last pnragiuph and then again
other degrees that have a slightly
more tenacious effect.
Examples of the fii’-t type would
be Nancy Hoyt’s Cupboard Love
is witty and boasts of two oupoi&o
-phisticated N’Yorkers with the pain
fully plain names of Malt and Emmy
(oh, sorry'). To alleviate that com
bination a Lady Deirdre Hnyhng-
Hannl is introduced with devastating
result®
Lady With a Past (Monow) is by
Harriet Heniy whose association with
Vogue gives hei New Yoik-and-Pari®
setting a nicely authentic finish. It
is avowedly the stoiy of a “modem
Cindeiclla who discovered that you
need a bad icputation to get a good
man” and when you read it you dis
covei that that is actually what it is
about
Aldcn Hatch, bi other of College

Rmchait) who comes to Bar Harbor
and New York with her lorgnette-'
shielded neai sighted eyes anil im
presses her American contemporaries

diameters fall into the usual grooves
almost too easily.
The group that creates a distinct
impression with somewhat lasting
qualities would include Hugh Wal
, pole’s adventure yam Above the Dark
; Tumult (Doubleday, Doian) because
besides its tin tiling talc it is written
well and furnished with delightful
■characterization.
All the action, which takes place
in a pel iod of only a few hours, oc
cuis in an apartment and a theatre in
London’s busiest section, Piccadilly
Circus. The stoiy is told by a char
acter who becomes involved m the
situation through h*a oarliei acquain
tance with the individuals and
thiough Ins love for the heioine He
supplies the background, the charac

seen through lus own eyes. He has

like this
“Then tho door was pir*hed open
and Hench came in—that big flabby
misshapen body like a bolster, with
the smull round head set on the top
of it, nnd on the head perched a bowl
er ridiculously minute. It was cliar-j
vcten«tic of him that he should carry
an umbrella, untidily folded, that
bulged like a cabbage. He exactly
resembled, as he stood there, a figure
of the music halls, stout in the wrong
places, unhapppy, bewildered, about
to buret into a piping and desperate'
little song.” |

The story of Hans’ life nnd devel
opment os a great painter forms one
of the more delightful pacts of the
story. Of all the well-drawn char
acters, Hans’ nasty big sister makes
the fumest impression. Portia is so
persistently mutating that her con
