 Twice Sheila Travers grasped at Hap piness and it eluded her. The man to- whom she gave the love of her early youth was hot-blooded selfish, sensual and, by scene of unbrdled passion during their stay at the house of mu- tual friend, disgusted the girl with the idea of marriage. The man with whom she entered into legalized 'copartner- ship" union some years later was cold, ambitious. self absorbed and the girl suffered from soul starvation for lack of love. A picture which by chance fell into Sheila's hands seemed to symboize her life-an empty road, with a sugges- tion of something mystical, restful, sat isfying, at the end. Later, Sheila dis covered the painter of this picture, and with his help she found the Hidden Val ley below the brow of the hill-the glo- rious fulfillment of all her dreams.

 THE TWO CROSSINGS OF MADGE 1 SWALUE."
 By Henri Davignon. (English Version by Tita Brand Cammaerts). The .ohn
 Lane Co.,, Publishers, New York city. l Henri @Davignon. whose story "The Two Crossings of Madge Swalue," is we'll translated from the French by Tita Brand Cammaerts. writes with feeling
 and pathos of very dear friend whose life and marriage and other experiences he knows full well.
 In foreword the author says:
