BOOK REVIEW

| ing that turks in the weak form OF

A kiss YVES just a kiss-that was
just what it was. And being an in
spirational kiss. of course, it was
all wrong because a married woman
gave it in the moonlight to a mo
account artist
And the village made the solving
of this puzzle the big problem or

solved. a fine English home was
nearly placed on the rocks and a
finely inspired artist was muir

The village had to be Obeyed.
Even if murder" of a genius was
necessary, the village must have its
way.
The village never called the
death" of Abby as murder they
termed ii a good thing"
And so the indictment existed even
in death.

great artistic and womanly mission,

as far as she was concerned, as a
sort Of a medium Of forcing the
weak artist to use his talents in the
creation Of great works Of art
The fact was, the artist so accept
ed the kiss at first. Jus Ia kiss ex.
tended in the form of appreciation.
But the village saw the kiss. That is,
one person did.
And then some puzzle resulted.
The village indicted Brenda and
Abby. the artist. They read new
meaning into the kiss. The village
gossips had no valuation on a kiss
given to inspire a man to create
beauty.
So the village got mighty busy.
1.-THE Puzzle
And that was the monkey puzzle
that Tristan Wing. husband Of
Brenda, was compelled to solve. His
wife told him about the kiss two
minutes after It was given.
The gossips held this to be a high
crime. What care they about in
spiratlonal kisses. They knew moth
