 Is the modern college elucAtion an unmixed blessing? This was tho dues- tion which distiausion forced with throwing frequency upon Davd Gait through the crowded, feverfsA yeArs that followed upon that ffsst miracle out of . clear sky. vAich translated him from the narrow, GSA-fsArtn9. an changing life of his native Goshen of the P1grim Fathers. ints the tur- moil of tho Metropolis.
 When . New York millionaire rave David his chance of . coiiege educa- tion, David's highest amhitien was realised--college seemed the Open Sesame" of an influential prosperous life. From college to . rvporter's job, from reported to editor sf A greae |newspAper. David. with rapid strides, became a power in New York and xon- don's business world. Women, of course. also had their influence on his career. Romance and marriage came. and the working out of his rersonai problems seemed at fivst to prove his earlier convictions right.
 Then, when success was fairly hts, his Goshen street standards of riGfse and wrong forced him to a momcn tous decision. What that decision meant and how finally. through 1t. hs finds happiness makes absorbing resding in Goshen Street" from beginning to end.

 A love story, . mystery and a roman tic adventure Is Palmetto" the idyl of . modern princess In disguise. set largely in the bsyoa region of LOuisi- ana, asAinst . background sf axure sky. shimmsring shorss. and Aaaeing waters.
 Palmetto ss . bsAutifui, sbssed little waif of the bayous, first siimpssl as . slender chiid-voman. Doised SA the human happ1 1hes.. Many men sss in her many things. One who is an astist sees her as a drason-fly. nashiag through life's sunshine in . purple hase,- givins joy to the eye. Another, reading deeper. xlimpses the wonder of her dor mant soul and contents himself to wait.
 Palmetto knows instinctively the. her self-stylsd father. sedden, half mad poet and his vindictive QuHdroon wife. are no kin of hers. With proud young shoulders smarting from unjust blows she mak es mad dash for free dom. The scene shifts to New Orleans, to New York. From thore start tho dramatic solution of the mystery, the unfolding of the romance. the journey of fine artistic nature to It's own self-revelation. the solving of the prob tnnNa nf n10fA ~ hA vtA and women.
 A tale that from opening paragraph to closing line. is redolent of that fine spirit of romance which csrrtee honest conviction: a love story. beautifully told. in which tho heart of . young girl is frankly revealed.
