The closing scene, brief and dramatic,
shows insight into possible human
torment. Old Lady Esteroy, with her
pompous gown, her stays and her wig
laid aside, small, shrunken creature,
lay in her large bed and faced terror
To keep at bay the thought of death
she was accustomed to force her mind
to practical, immediate things-the
stock of provisions In her larder, next
weeks meals, the possibility of re-
making her old silk dresses-but the
time came when this device failed
and her personality was engulfed in
the shadows. There are certain cru
dities in "Old Lady Esteroy." certain
parts which drag, but on the whole
it is a novel Of considerable originality

Travel Through
Eastern States
DR.. and Mrs johnson Return From
Extended APPROPRIATIONS In
East Getting Better

DR.. and Mrs. w. johnson return
ed Wednesday from a three weeks
visit in Worcester, Massachusetts,
and a tour of the Eastern Coast.
DR.. and Mrs. johnson travelled
about $500 miles without trouble of
any kind. In Worcester they Wis
tied with relatives of the Doctor.
Enroute to Massachusetts they
took the Canadian route via Ottawa.
DR.. Johnson reports that the Ca
madam roads are in very bad state
of repair. Throughout the section
Of Canada 1t has not rained for
six weeks, and the country is the
driest it has been for years. AS
they continued their journey crops
began to appear in a much better
condition. From Scranton, Penn
sylvania to Buffalo along Lake Erie,
and through Ohio and Indiana
crops are in excellent condition.
On the way out they stopped at
Goodyear, Conn, and called on
Mr.. and Mrs. Powdrell. Mrs. Pow
drell is a daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. N. Forsberg
Besides the visit at the Doctors
home town, Worcester, Mr.. and
Mrs. johnson were interested spec
tators of many Of the East's sights.
At New York they spent few days
at the beach and Of course took the
Riddles" to Coney Island. At
Princeton the United States Atlantic
Fleet was viewed by Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnson. Over forty war ships
were stationed at that one point.
The Doctor attempted to observe
the quintuplets, at Corbeil, Ontario,
of which so much was reported
some time ago, but was refused adj
mittance by the attending physic-
ian. In New York the party went
to the top Of the Empire State
Building which is one hundred and
two stories in height and for twelve
hundred feet it reaches above the
city streets. The Doctor attended
several excellent medical clinics at
New York and Boston.
Unemployment is dwindling in
the East according to DR.. johnson.
Men are employed on a half-time
scale putting, or course, twice as
many men to work. No one can OBJ
tain relief in the East If they own
a radio, an automobile, or have
money in the bank.
They returned through Chicago
after an extensive and enjoyable
trip, and spent a day at the Century
of Progress Exposition in the
Windy City,"
