unpleasant. therefore, to be forced
to announce that this new book will

'Scarhaven Heep" is good, but COM

1t is difficult to escape the feeling
that the book. though the most re-

starts off brislly enough with the
disappearance of a famous actor.
The complications pile UP as they

the job and leaves too much to

fetal duties OF many diGnitaries
keep them So engrossed during the

changing the European custom OF
observing Sunday afternoon as a
social period after church hours.
