Marriage a la Mode

In Greece it is considered high
~ desirable to have the daugh-
tiers Of the house marry in the
order of their birth.
Thus an unattractive girl may
hold up the matrimonial progress
Of her family Indefinitely because
her parents refuse to give their
consent to the engagement of the
younger sisters until the one next
in line is disposed of.
It IS only when a girl is con-
sidered hopeless matrimonially
that the established order is
broken.

has lived much in Nevada and speaks
from first hand knowledge of his Basque
sheep herders who figure largely in the
story. They are not entirely novelty. but
are portrayed here with more detail and
probably with better understanding than
in their previous incidental appearances in
fiction. The story itself is Of the familiar
Western type: row over water rights,
the big rancher's encroachments, politics,
and, of course plenty of intrigue and lots
of gun play. The girl Mercedes and her
necessary lover. Blaze Kildare, are rather
better than the usual run Of such per-
formers. The plot is skillfully developed
along usual lines. but with very good
manner
The authors also have somewhat more
than the ordinary feeling for landscape,
but it is not unduly intruded and never
allowed to get in the way Of the orderly
movement of the tale. But the most in
teresting element in the book remains the
study of the Basque settlers-a peculiar
people. who have always managed to MAIN
tain their individuality wherever they set
tie. and who remain distinct even in an
American environment. just as they have
remained unassimilated in their original
mountain homes of the Pyrenees, with
Spanish on one side and French on the
other. 1t appears to be racial persistence
that is paralleled only by the Jew. This
story demonstrates that they are good ma
terial for fiction.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-Presi-

of his leaders in the House against
attempted passage Of the ship subsidy
bill at This session.
In so doing. he completely with
draws from his originally expressed
intentions that if the subsidy meas

he would be compelled to call an ex-
ira session to consider it.
A letter written by the President
to House Leader Mondeu voiced his
willingness to let the measure go over.
The Presidents reasons for capitu-
lating were as follows:
1. Diminished attendance in the
House"
.. New complications which have
arisen" in the form on the prohibition
issue-sale of liquor on shipping board
vessels.
3. The storm developed around the
two exemption provisions of the bill
