BOOK ENDS

THE Journal of a Mud House"
by Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant is
the leading article in the March
Harpers magazine The author,
who halls from Boston and New
York, writes in an amusing. con-
vorsational way of the difficulties
of remodeling an abandoned adobe
in Tesuque, n NJ, where she and
a sister writer had purchased their
two acres of sand, acequia and
million dollar view. Miss Sergeant
throws a pleased eye over New
Mexico. 1t reminds" her usually
of somewhere else. Italy, Greece.
Egypt; but one should be excused
for dragging in the places one has
been in these days of high priced
travel. But she likes our state or
she wouldn't be investing in expen-
sive Tesuque landscape. Santa Fe
has sold her attractions well. She
has cleverly dramatized her writ
ers, her painters and her socially
elect and is now getting back her
bread on the waters in tons of free
advertising. We in the valley would
do we'll to make our city and our
environs half as attractive.
Louise Stedman Bostick, young
writer of this city, has an appeal
ing poem. "Wild Growth" In the
March number Of Sunset magazine.
Mrs. Bostick is not new contribu-
tor to Sunset, her verses having
appeared previously in that maya
zine. She has published several
times in "The Lyric West" a new
magazine of verse, and in many
eastern papers. Lyric West" and
the New York Post are both hold
ing poems of hers for later publ
cation, Mrs. Bostick is gracefully
willing away an enforced residence
in the southwest by thinking the
most delightful things about the
country. We once saw n really
pretty poem of hers all about the
tumble weeds blowing around in
the spring sand storms. Mrs. Bos-
tick should write more.
