A MODERN TRIO IN AN OLD TOWN. BY
Katharine Haviland Taylor. Harcourt.
Brace K Co.
|HHIS is primarily sympathetic pic
ture of Florence as seen through
the impressionable eyes of Jane
Jones. an American girl living in typical
Florentine pension with its usual collection
of human freaks. both amusing and
pathetic. and zealously studying music
under the urge of her gratitude to the
still youthful fairy godmother whose gen.
erosity has afforded her this big chance
As the title implies, Jane is one of a trio of
American girls who are taking piano les
sons from the same irascible and eccentric
Italian teacher-with the difference that
Jane happens TO be in earnest while the
others are not. She has the good luck TO
make just the right sort of impression on
Terence Wake. famous author and art
critic, who, being old enough 10 be her
father. can without indiscretion pilot her
through the queer out of the way corners
of the quaint old city and give her the
right perspective of its history and Of it's
art. They discover queer little lunching
warm bread and Mr.. Wake pronounces
the mild Italian wine to be as harmless
as lemonade: THE Italians drink it like
water, and you never see one drunk
probably won't unless some fool starts a
prohibition movement" He has vivid
way OF translating ancient happenings into
modern terms, as when he calls Savonarola
"the Billy Sunday of 1890" and explains
the Rape of the Sabine Women as a whole
sale case Of ''love at first sight" and points
out that while those Sabine brides put up
an unholy row when they started on their
wedding journeys they evidently liked the
job OF being Roman wives. and really re
spected the men who didn't give them
time to pack or cry on mothers shoulder"
Mr.. Wake takes such a suspicious in
terest in all that Jane tells him about her
fairy godmother. Miss Shela Parrish, that
the reader discovers long before Jane her
self does that .Sheila Is the lost love~ of
his youth and that Jane is destined TO
straighten out the tangles of destiny. And
of course Jane herself finds a compensating
romance of her own in a struggling young
artist whose garnet window is just across
the court from her own and who must be
quite a nice man because ne is kind even
to half starved and very noisy cat. The
whole book, while rather transparent as
to plot, is pleasantly told. with a pervading
sense OF humor and abundant clever
ization.

first renegade son Of the proud Castilian
house OF O'Donoju from the day of its
founding by Don Miguel O'Donoju, "a
wild man OF the red Irish. who had taken
a lady of Granada to the New World TO
hear him heirs worthy of their inher-
itanee." From the day of the sacrilege.
so the legend runs, there were born in
alternate generations a son or daughter 10
the house OF O.Donoju with the "pugna-
cious red of Donegal in their hair; and
the throwbaek to the red Irish strain al
ways brought fresh sorrow. shame and
death to the race.
The specific story Mr.. Ritchie has to
tell concerns one Grant Hickman. civil
engineer and world war veteran. who has
journeyed southwark. little guessing that
the purpose for which he is summoned is
to locate buried treasure in a lost shrine
on the Road Of Dead Men. and who meets
at FL Paso girl with flaming crown of
glorious hair who is being annoyed by her
Mexican escort. After Grant has taken a
hand in the game the Mexican elucidates
the situation:
Tomorrow we touch Mexico. where
it is known that Col. Hamilcar Urgo is
law unto himself. I am that Col
Hamicar Urgo. Need so farther?"
And l am Capt. Grant Hickman. for
merly of the First Division. Expedition
AIRY Forces. Go as far as you like"
Here in two sentences you have the
starting point of an international war 10
the death for the possession of Senorita
Benicia O'Donoju. the last red haired
itary curse. II would be worse than in
discreet to divulge further the gorgeously
lurid adventures which follow. Mr.. Ritchie
spreads on his melodrama with a palette
knife. The Road OF Dead Men is not
merely parching desert: it is a white
heated. consuming caldron. Mexican
criminal procedure is not merely unjust
and underhanded; it is a network of all
the crimes of the Decalogue. from which
the devil himself might take lessons. Col.
Hamilcar Urgo is no ordinary heavy
villain but desert bred human reptile
whose very words drip poison. While as
for Benicia of the flaming hair she is that
ultimate quintessence Of all that is desir-
able, for whose sake the sufferings of
thousand nameless agonies is a rare and
blessed privilege. Here you have approx
imately the tempo Of the story; and the
amazing thing is the consistency with
which the author maintains 1t. often just
on the borderline of burlesque but never
trespassing across that line

THE TRAIL OF THE WHITE MULE BY
b. NJ. Bower. Little, Brown & Co.
"A MOTHER title for this book, though
~ no more fitting than the present
one. might have been "The Further
Adventures of Casey Ryan" The Trail
of the White Mule is another Casey Ryan
story in which Casey, one of the most
likable, most human and amusing per-
sons, is more entertaining than ever. The
story opens on busy crossing in Los
Angeles. Traffic was not moving fast
enough for Casey, so he ''slid out from the
halted traffic. SHE'D sharply away from a
Historically changing street car, crossed the
path of huge red truck coming from his
right. missed it with two inches to spare
and was halfway down the block before
the traffic officer overlook him. The guar
dian OF traffic was Irish, too, and bigger
than Casey, and madden. Nevertheless
Casey offered to lick the "livin tar outa
him" before accepting pale, expensive
ticket which he crumbled and put into his
pocket without looking at it,
But Casey's trials and tribuations had
only begun. He gets "Tohn Henry and
makes for the desert. intending to do some
prospecting. There he is met by more
trouble He unknowingly runs into a gang
of moonshiners. and after they are brought
into custody casey Ryan included) Casey,
through flaw in the charge pressed wig
giles out. Back to Los Angeles, only to
fall into another trap. This time it's
bootlegger When out on the desert trail
with the bootlegger he is made to part
with his purse at the point of a gun in ex-
change for the 'hooch" the car was sup
posed to have held. Casey is not boot
legger-but he is made to seem one in spite
of himself. In the end. however Casey
takes the trail of the White Mule in dead
ly earnest. backed by the mighty hand of
justice-the law. Then the story starts
moving in new direction and has many
exciting moments. The Trail of the
Mule" has real. genuine kick" in it.

 T..s scene opened with the chorus, consisting of Misses Della Rapu5zi, Birdie Solmcr, Virginia SeImer, Jane Farclly and Mrs Myrtle Keller, wearing attractive costumes and pie ture hats, dancing over the lawn as they sang a poplar air.
 This was followed by Mrs. Lam pert of Fort Seward, who gave a most beautiful dance interpretation of Mss Vivian Tall ot's' rendition of "Uum0rcsque" on the piano, and grac0ously responded 10 an encore.
