a great sigh Of relief among the
residents of the borough and yicin-
lty when a recent announcement
was made public that the bus line
between South River and Jamesburg
sought for q long time was to become
a realization. The fact that the
borough council has given q fran

district gave still greater hopes to
the jewellers that Spotswood will
finally have all the c~onveniencs OF
a modern town.
General Indications, however
seem to point to reverse hopes The
bus line did not begin to run on Jan
uary s as promised by the borough
officials and those in charge Of the

"a Son at the Front shortly
A after the World War believe
that it would have been a sensation.
Coming at this time, it will be one
of the books Of the year, but not the
commanding literary triumph it
would have been on the heels of the
war.
Mrs. Wharton writes of real men
and women, although her characters
belong to a world that many of us
never enter. Generally they are SUI
per-steam-heated, meaning that they
have plenty of money or the power
to get it in an easy way.
"a Son at the Front" is not essen
TALLY a story of the trenches, although
we hear the cries Of the injured and
those going over for the last time, yet
we are chiefly concerned with char
acters in Paris who had a not time
of adjusting themselves to the new
order of things.
Mrs. Wharton permits you to meet
the sons of the very wealthy who
went to war just as eagerly as the
chap who had nothing but his loyalty
and his own life to offer. They were
all brothers in this war.
But what of the selfish and rich
society natron in Paris who wanted
her son to be in the war but many
miles away from the actual fighting?
What about the powerful banker who
controlled the destintes Of many
groups of people? What Of the artist
who placed art above everything else?
What about the man who wormed his
HTay into high places by so-called war
awcrk? What about the society ma
iron who kept on with her bridge
parties and her dances under the
guIse Of war relief?
What about the man and woman
who had their only son in the war?

Since Edith Wharton wrote "The

world has been undisputed. She sees
life in the gifted frame, but the costly
reflection from 1t does not rob her
of a real understanding of life and
its emotional problems. Her new
book will bring new glory and honor
to her.

down below the surface of things
