Bettlna Won Hutton, the author of
"BeeChy," possesses to a mari-ed de
gree that most desirable and fortunate
quality for "a writer of stOries-she
makes her readers see clearly just the
ideas and pictures she has in her own

Her descriptions are pictures in words
and they are finely and rea listically

The story cannot fail to hold the
reader to the end. He cannot help but
feel the poetry and music of Old Rome
and understand the longing Of the ltal-
