For a fellow who's taking his
first dip in national politics, this
young McCombs person, cam

his sense of humor, which is never
very deeply buried behind his cad

stretching sideways to alarming
dimensions, tops his lanky legs

These little stories Of everyday life are
told with the buoyant freshness char

them are just bubbles OF Joyousness.
others are made up Of tears and humor-

which we call human interest for lack OF

sketches beginning with The Frog and

Undeniably poet, Mr.. Maeterlinck in
his study of death and after takes on
the privilege of dealing like scientist
with a subject which, by necessity. be-
longs to poetic consideration alone. Put
ting death upon tho table, so to speak.
this author dissects away from It much

life-for instance, sickness, fear, the
horror Of thee grave. and so on. This
not only presents an enlightened idea of
death. but leaves 1t clean also for an
unobstructed investigation. Mr.. Maeter-
linck pauses a moment to point the mis-
take Of doctors in prolonging the pangs
about this supreme and ultimate earthly
experience, enveiiing. It may be, an
otherwise glorious experience In the at

In this volume Of short stories Arnold
Bennett treats his subjects a. the sight

place to come back to when he must, say,
for a bath and clean linen ana his mail.
Thus refreshed, he is away again to the
various interesting points checked of
in his Baedeker. Mr.. Bennett declares
the easy expedient of setting down it's
title. This appears to clear him def
nitely Of any great responsibility about

sorts OF absorbing matters with only
occasional returnings to the place where
