spell, it's monotonous itinerary of town and cities, it's incOmple eteness in many places,-it is not literature. James batters his wings to threads, striving to break through the hu- man limitations that bar him from poetry. He lies panting for breath at the bottom of one of his mar velous gorges, after Vainly strug- gling for seat alongside Alfred Henry Lewis. His color sketches are ludicrous when matched with Guerin. Strange, isn't it, that not being literature, it withstands lit erature's acid test? The reason again,-it is written by one in love with that which he describes.
 You will smile, if you are critical, at the innumerable references the author makes to the number of paragraphs, pages. chapters. vol umes. libraries /that he MIGHT HAVE WRITTEN about certain phases of his visits to Arizona. You will smile again. but with sym pathy. when you follow James on one of his flights toward poetry as he launches out on what seems about 10 he page or two of rhap- sody, to come suddenly to the end. James wings have been battered. He scared and lost.
 This is not James fault. Name the artist, the poet. the songstress. the writer, the world wide traveller who can reproduce by his art the sense impressions that Arizona yields. It cannot be done. It was Frank W. Gunsaulus. was it not who looked upon the Grand Canyon for the first time in his life and said nothing. If you have seen Ari- zona, 1 imagine James will put life into your recollection, stimulate your blood spurts, create that in dcscribable longing that always follows fellowship with such sub limities of nature. It is the in timacy that James has enjoyed with the naked nature of this state that instils charm into his story At the very moments when you ex- pect the greatest revelations in his book, you see the curtain lowered It is tantalizing but there's a rugged fascination about this style when you realize that Arizona can not be described James knows this; shows it; but doesn't admit it. purposely; he cannot avoid the admission, unconsciously. You'll love Arizona and treasure the book if you read it.

GODS CoUNTERPOINT has i

GODS COUNTERPOINT has just been published by George H. Doran. I haven't read it Don't know as care to take the time. J. D. Beres- ford is it's author. Never heard of him: find no mention of him in any reference book: do know, however, that Doran must have had pur- pose in accepting Gods Counter point for publication. This work is reviewed by Gordon Ray Young in the Los Angeles Times, Novem- Der 3. Young admits he was fas- cinated with the story but disap- proved it at every step. Here is an excerpt from MT. Young's diaS- nosis:
 q don't know what is proper limitation for a novel, fiction Perhaps there is none. But such books as Gods Counterpoint' do something to stir the wish that there might be a proper limitation that excluded such as this. Not by censor's force but by authorial taste"
 Still Young writes that it is a masterful book, great perhaps, but certainly as abnormal a piece of work as Philip (the principaD IS character"
 Sometimes it so happens that a great moral principle is exemplifled by picturing it's growth amidst its foul environment Some very beau tiful flowers spring from rotten soil; Nazareth did yield something good"

Hats reached the limit Of plainness

ton Of scant trimming for several sea-
sons. The first hats of spring-thOSe
prepared for sojourns at Southern re-
sorts-ventured tentatively to present
q few blossoms that flattened them
selves against crowns or nestled on
brims in the most retiring manner.
Ribbons and certain feathers were
used with more assurance but no one
predicted or seemed to fOreSee the
coming Of abundant trimmings and a
variety of them.
AS happens in millinery, all at once
we woke up to the fact that there were
q lot of flowers and fruits, feathers
and ribbons on hats that made their
appearance in February as the van
guard of summer millinery. 1t Is re-
ported that Paris sponsored this cheer

undaunted confidence in the Satisfac-

of the device is spool of waxed Irvine,
which threads Immediately into the
