 It's about like this,'' he said You see over in England the administra- tion of affairs is more regular and not so likely to be disturbed by changes in the ministry. We haven't got things down quite so fine here, and so we have to go through these violent elec- tions. What I want to see is a presi- dent elected for six years. But in the meantime. you must get this into your head. And that is that the American people must be amused, and politics is a great amusement"

matching his wits, his courage and his imaginary sword against those of his rivals and enemies. It is an en- thralled romance in the manner ot Dumas and Stevenson.
 Luca Sarto is an Italian artist and goldsmith who has fled to France after killing Giovanni in street brawl Tn Rome. He meets the beautiful Mile. Diane Motier, an emissary between England and the Kings enemies, and is immediately dragged into the mesh of plots and counterplots. The story tells how Louis XI issues proclamation for his capture how the King goes to Loches with his court to pray to the Virgin at St. Ours; in what extraordi- nary manner this prayer is answered and how later Luca Sarto "wooed and kissed lady, and after a night that was candled by stars and danger the morning was witness to their be- trothal."
 Charles s. Brooks, the author. is a young retired business man. He re- tired from business in order to devote all of his time to writing. He was born in Cleveland, O., and was edu- cated in the Cleveland public schools and at Yale University. He has pub lished three books of essays consist ing of whimsical comment and reflec- ton on everyday American life. He writes with discrimination, and fanci- full humor, and a certain gay vitality. 'Luca Sarto'' is his first novel. One gathers that the author had a topping good time doing it-as the reader has in following the story.
