YyHE term good book" Is used a great deal
but what. exactly. does 1t mean? In short.
- what constitutes a good book7
Nowadays we are literally swamped with all
sorts Of books, fiction and non-fiction. which are
composed Of the frothiest and most epherieral
stuff.
They have no body. no depth to them They
make no pretense TO being penetrating character
analyses. and they are not the slightest bit true
TO life Usually they depend for STABILITY upon
unusual or bizarre situations. upon a melodrama-
tic plot. upon mystery. cleverness. scandal or
upon sex.
These. you might think, cannot rightly be
classified among the good books
They don't make you think. they don't rouse
the emotions except in the most superficial way.

mart in Washington society that
one is inclined to overlook at
times the very interesting stratum,
that has the caVe-oWeIler
element as it's nuclaus-the resi-
dentials with Georgetown as thelr
camping.ground. / Not those VINO
have moved over recently be-
cause It is fashionable or pic
turesoue to live there. but those
who are rooted in the soil.
However, there are few bene-
fit balls that bring out this
contingent. And one is that for
the Episcopal Eye, Ear, and
Throat Hospital, which was held
Ia ct evening in the ballroom OF the
Willard Hotel.
AS usual. this was more in the
nature Of a private festiVity with

and with Comdr. Theodore Jewell
always on hand for this benefit,

were the center of much visiting
between dances. All of the boxes
were filled--chiefly with lockers
