I'm tied up on a story. A big one
can't tell you about it now, honey
but this is going to be real news

z DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

DLOUNT MARVEL came to
ID Washington as a representa-
tive from southern state equipped
with a big black hat, an old-fash-
Toned tail coat, gift for forid ora
tory-and very smart wife.
A matter of five years later he
was a famous senator, a power in
the national government and man
who might, without presuming too
greatly, dream of some day occupy
ing the White House.
The hat and coat helped. for
they got him into the rotogravure
pictures, and the oratory had
helped a little too; but his wife,
Leda, had helped most of all. And
he never had the remotest notion
that he owed her a thing.
All this is the skeleton of Berthe
K. Mellett's novel, wife to Caesar"
This book not only presents an alb
sorbing inside" picture of life in
official Washington, but also stands
squarely on its own feet as an in
teresting, competently written mar
rative.
Mrs. Mellett, to begin with, knows
her Washington and knows how to
describe it. She discusses every
thing from the social lobby to the
parties that get thrown in the en-
bassies, and makes you understand
it.
Better yet, she knows how to write
a novel. Her sub-plot-the love af-
fair between Leda Blount and Garry
Clune, whose too-rigid code of honor
robbed him and other people of
happiness-is handled with skill and
understanding. And Blount Marvel,
pompous, well-meaning and stupid,
is a character you'll not soon for
get.
Wife to Caesar" in short, is very
much worth reading. 1t is pub
