Another book possessing
charm is Leonard Merrick' S
"Cynthia," which is repub-
llshed in a limited edition.
In this he gives the working
out of the married life of an
author-vat first the mar

success-but Cynthia makes
it and incidentally herself
over for the pleasure of all
concerned. 1t is so finely
written that the book is
bound to give pleasure.
Another book in this linn
tied edition is "The Position
OF Peggy Harper" which
takes us into the realm of
stage folks. In this novel are
finely drawn sketches of the
life of the people in a third

the authors usual polish and

fond of asking people to stay
