Frances Crane, who scalps peo- pie for the magazines regularly now does the same for those unfor- tunate Englishmen it is impossible not to know. She calls her gay lit- tie farce The Tennessee Poppy, or w h hway Westminster Abbey which is all one needs know.
 Equally to the point are the weeks two Grand Hotel" books, the better of them being Anthony Bertram's They Came to the Castle"
 Bertram gathers up a trio of the vulgar Americans beloved of Brit ish writers and a group of vaca- tioning British, and shuts them up in castle with two countesses and crazy count There is almost no plot; one is scarcely needed. But the book is excellsnt fun.

The Store" :" Is Splendid Book for July Reading
 Scalper at Work
By JOHN sELBY

NEW YORK, July 20.-There iS one unquestionably first rate book to be read by readers whose taste withstsnds the heat of July. It is T. s. Stribling's "The Store" sec ond of the trilogy in which ths author plans to reflect the history and life of the South from pre-wal days to the present.
 Nearly everything about "The Store is admirable, even it's leis- urely, southern stride, which is ideal for the presentation of such pe- culiarly southern truths as those clustering about the South at the time of Cleveland's first adminis- tration.
 Stribling's sympathy and knowl- edge are made effective by his bal ance; his characterization is facile but it sticks" What GalsWorthy does for his one class, the most English of the British, Stribling does with two differing races.
 The story is that of Col. Mil tiades Walden, his tragic rise and tragic fall, and to it everything drapes. But this necessary bias does not warp the portraits of the dozens touched by the colonel's cu- rious ambition.
