"Green Valley"

NUITE the best thing about Katharine
Reynolds's tale of Green Valley Is
the dedication, which is "To all the little
one horse towns, where life is sweet and
roomy and old fashioned; where the days
are full of sunshine and rain and work;
where neighbOrs really neighbor and men
and women are life size" If this were fol-
lowed by a real story it would have point
as well as charm; but the book is not much
more than an expansion Of the dedication.
There is here really no story. At the out
set we meet the Young Man and the
Young Woman; after a very few chapters
they find themselves together in Green
Valley, with neither rivalled in the at
tention of the other; and the reader set
ties down more or less patiently for the
only predictable outcome of their pleas
ant proximity.
The Young Woman is the daughter of
diplomat, no less; the Young Man is the
"last of the Churehills' his name
happens to be John Roger Churchill
Knight, for his father was missionary
in India, whose admirable devotion to his
life work eventually killed his homesick
wife The reader may feel that the affair
of Nanny Ainslee and the Rev. Mr.
Knight is unduly retarded, but the reader
will be conscious that the author does not
feel that way. Her pages are filed with
the life of Green Valley, a small Middle
Western town, populated blythe people
who inhabit such towns. There are the
mean man, the town drUnkard, the old
lady who sets every ones affairs right.

"An American Poilu"

TINE letters which have been put to-
i gether to make An American Polls
were written between July 81, 1917, and
November Is, 1918, by an American in
his thirties who was first an orderly III
the hospital at Ncuilly There he met a
wounded French captain of infantry with
whom he formed strong friendship. As
n result the American, F. Il,
obtained permission from the War De
partment to enlist in the French army and
went TO the, front with his friend. In
June. 1918, this American pOilu won the
Croix de Ciuerre; afterward he was again

recovering from shot which disabled both
This American was evidently man of
sensitive and poetic temperament and his
letters so reflect his accustomed dreams
and his habitual elevation and refinement
Of poetic thought that any attempt to
summarize them would be futile. Nor

''Phoebe"
By GRANT M. OVERTON.

T would be pleasanter not 10 say any
l. thing at all about Phoebe. Bui
Phoebe is by Eleanor GATES, who wrote
The P1or LITTLE Rich Girl, and people
will be curious about it and wonder Why
we say nothing. SO We had better SAY
that Eleanor Gates has written another
story about another poor little rich glrl,
only not 50 good; in fact, not good at all
Tbs poor little ricli girl is IA years old
and her father talks To hcr strangely.
"fWelI, yOu see,' her father answered,
having you ga this way spared Your dear
little heart No good-bys or tears. But
pretty soon Grandma :, with Uncle Bob.
and Uncle John, and big garden and Il
horse"
"a horse marveled Phoebe
We cannot compass tnurSelves) the PIE
ture of a l4-year-Old in these days who
would stand for that sort of thing; and
even city children seldom marvel at the
idea of horse. Despite the triumphs OF
Henry Ford city children do not have 10
90 to the 700 to see horsr. This passage
is not lapse. The author of Phoebe i'll
sists throughout upon a ehildishness that
will excite bewildcrmcnt where it does not
arouse seorn.
The story is all about the terrible
tragedy of the 14year-Old when her
father took her from her mother and her
mother went 10 Reno (where she died)
and the dreadful anxicties Of Phoebe coll
corning possible stepmOther and the
happy resolution of these matters. All
that this 14-year-old knows about the
world seems to have been CLEANED from
attendance at the movies, and surely
never was a story in which the movies
were mentioned 50 often and with such
constant and uneritieal rapture. William
s. Hart could well afford 10 buy an edi-
ton of Phoebe and give it away to ali his
friends and enemies; it would be good ad-
vertising. Ourselves, we get immense de-
light out of young girl stories as written
by such popular novelists as Gene STRAIT
comforter and Eleanor Hallovell Abbott
but whatever may be said about the
work of these writers it is not anemie.
Phoebe is, quite painfully 50.

"a Daughter of
Two Worlds"
A DAUGHTER OF TWO WORLDS,

n DAUGHTER OF TWO WORLDS,
II by Leroy Scott, is fine mixture
of love and crime During its course
three murders are accomplished, the
heroine commits forgery twice and mar
ries as often, disappearance are an
everyday occurrence and the char
acters are forever clutching at one an
others Threats and threatening unutter-
able things A shudder for every page
is Mr.. SCOTS rule. He has the most
enviable faculty of making all crimes APP
pear unsuitable exactly what We would
have done ourselves in the circumstances
even to the blacklist murder of Black
Jerry. This delightful character is the
proprietor of low dance hall in New
York and has the distinction of being the
heroine's father. When his daughter Jen-
ME is sixteen, still q child in fact with
only one forgery to her credit, be decides
that the dancing den is no place for her
and enters her in a fashionable girls
school under an assumed name, having
every confidence that she will eventually
conquer her new world.
Mr.. Scott shows great ability at char
aeterization and most ingenious imagi
nation. Although his story follows a
beaten track, it is so dexterously and dra-
matically handled as to bear telling again.
The grim figure of Black Jerry is strongly
drawn, Jennie's three lovers are varied
and convincing, while Jennie herself is
that felicitous combination of fun, beauty
and talent native to melodrama. After
she has conquered the new world the old
one is seen TO have followed her in its
logged way and TO be about TO eonfound
her. 1t is enough to make you gnash
YOU teeth and yet it develops for the best.
With many a flourish of revolvers the
story ends minus several of the original
east: it is true, but happily withal. 1t will
give solid satisfaction TO lovers of lurid
sentimentality and etrdling of the blood
in the way of light reading, and there are
mary so addicted.

church and Sunday School work, until
sickness caused her to give them up
one by one.
During the last few weeks of her
sickness, when suffering was so in
tense, Marion could be heard, while
the brightest sunlight was shining
forth, and during the darkest solemn
hours of the night, giving praises to
her blessed Lord who had done so
much for her, helping her to bear her
suffering, and at 2.30 a. m. Tuesday
Jesus came and took her home to live
with him forever.
Funeral services and interment were
held at Port Republic on Friday after
noon.
