Notes on New Fiction

LIGHTSHIP. BY Archie Binns New
York: Reynal & Hitchcock.
WHEN he was 1S Archie Binns,
son of a seafaring family on the
shore of Puget Sound, spent nearly a
year on the lightship off Umatilla
Reef. near Cape Flattery, Wash. He
found a lightship a world In itself,
small but filled with intense emotions,
and he here tells a story of nine men
who composed lightship crew, whose
lives are as fateful and universal as
the rolling ocean on which the light
ship tosSes.
MY SHADOW AS I PASS. BY Sybil
Bolitho. New York: The Viking
Press.
The wife of William Bolitho, London
journalist and author, who died in
Provence in 1881, here puts into fic-
ton form much of the lives of her
husband and herself. The John and
Helen of the story wander over the
world, seek their provencal villa for
rest, live and love with zest. Then a
cruel fate strikes, John is taken and
Helen is left alone. But Helen, after
bitter struggle, rediscovers the spirit
OF John and from him finds courage to
go on living and to do many of the
things they had hoped to do together.
Mysticism inspires the theme.

be told by group Of people gathered
TO attend the Salzburg music and dra-
matte festival. Coming from all over
the world, the people gather each
afternoon in the Capuchin Wood out
side the town and tell their stories,
which are as varied as those of the
"Decameron" or of the Canterbury
Tales" though they will probably
never be as famous as either collection.
They are arranged as told on seven
days. and there is a prologue, a de-
scription of the story tellers and an
epllogue. Some of the best are the
brokers' tale Of Don Juan in the
Arena, the mathematician tale of
The Mirror" the bankers tale of

Maybe the fresh air" Sally smiled
demurely.
Sally and Bill walked through the
dark city streets until nearly of
chilly Summer morning in an
effort to tire out an inconsolable
puppy. But as far as Susie was con-
cerned the effort was wasted, al
though it worked with vengeance
on Bill, but Sally seemed not to mind
the trudging miles. Susie finally
quieted, but Sally declared they should
walk until Susie went to sleep.
Then 1t was Bills turn for inspira-
ton. "We're crazy to walk like this,
Sally. The motion of our car would
put her to sleep in a jiffy.'
So, with further annoyance to Mr.
Catchbarn, they backed out the family
bus and started on a croSs-city tour
of the principal points of interest.
Sally held Susie. She kept Bill
driving until 5 o'clock, then she
whispered, "She's asleep, Bill" In
they tiptoed and laid the now blinking
Susie in the box. Sally looked at
Bill. Dark circles under the eyes
were vivid mementos of the travails
and travels Of the night.
"Bill-you poor boyl And you with

THE FOLKS. BY Ruth Suckow.
Drawings by Robert Ward john
son. New York: Farrar & Rine-
hart.
THE power of ''the folks" is waning.
1t is, in many small communities,
such as the Iowa community Of which
Ruth Suckow writes, already dead.
The Oldest generation, belonging en-
tirely to the past, shakes its head
sadly in complete failure to under
stand and takes refuge in memory.
The middle generation, having ad-
hered to tradition during its early
years. takes a mild fling after the
fortieth or flftieth milestone, ceases
regular attendance at church, fire.
quents clubs, smokes occasional cigar
cites and takes a motor trip to Cali
fornia, as do Fred and Annie Fergu-
son. The youngest generation breaks
away completely from the small town
and "the folks" and experiments with
cocktails, complexes and Communism.
Ruth Suckow has written a large
novel, by far her longest one, to show
these changes in what may be taken
as typical American town, probably
as typical as "Middletown," though
she calls it Belmond and locates it in
Iowa.
Miss SuckowS method is as detailed,
though not as sordid, as the natural
ism Of the school of Zola and the
Goncourts. No event, no conversation,
however commonplace, in the life of
Fred Ferguson's family is sighted,
and the family is just an average
family. In fact, its averageness and
the minuteness with which its doings
are recorded make the unregenerate
long for an occasional bit of melo-
drama, to which Margaret's escape to
Greenwich Village and her eagerly
sought affair with a married man are
the nearest approach. Margaret is
the one of the Ferguson children who
has most chafed against the monoto-
nous. thrifty home life and the social
life dominated by the Young Peoples
Society Of Belmond. Especially has
she rebelled against the gentle tyranny
Of "the folks" The other children
Carl, fine. steady boy and honor stu
dent; pretty. popular Dorothy. and
good -natured Bun-are the dominants
in the family Mendelian proportion.
Yet changing society does not leave
them unscathed. The fortunes of all
the Fergusons are followed by Miss
Suckow with admirable realism and
comprehension of human problems,
which reach their climax in the final
scene, when Fred and Annie return
to their Belmond home after Their
stay in California, and find 1t good.

THE first to bear this name was a
maker Of arrows-or perhaps a
superintendent of archery. The use
of arrows as weapons was prevalent
and necessary at the time surnames
began to be adopted, and many trades
men assumed the names of their pro-
feSsions. The name Fletcher is de-
rived from the French word "heche," 4"
meaning an arrow. There were Norman
families who came to England and the
Hundred Rolls lists the names of LIE
Flecher, lie Flecchir and LIE Fletcher.
There were several families Of this
name living in New England before
1640. One of the founders of Chelms-
ford, Mass, was Robert Fletcher, who
came to the New World in 1880. He
came from Yorkshire, England, and
was of Welsh-English birth. John
Fletcher was a founder of Hartford.
Conn, and one of the first proprietors
In the town. He was chosen deputy
to the New Haven Legislature.

people interested in stamps must
feel is wanted.
The council plan fits in perfectly
with our national concept of govern
ment, our popular concept of demo-
cratic freedom, our representative sys-
tenn of institutional liberty. 1t would
make available for public welfare the
ability, the experience and the ma
tured and cultivated wisdom of men
who are the human strength and spir-
itual character Of philately in
America"
Mooney Expresses Regrets.
Sharing honors with Mr.. Eidsness
at the meeting was Postmaster VIII
liam M. Mooney, native Of Steuben-
vile. He said in part: II do not claim
to be an expert philateGst. I am Just
an ordinary collector. But I regret
very much that have not taken bet
ter advantage of the splendid oppor-
tunities have had during my long
experience in the postal service. Had
been wiser, might now be the
possessor Of collection both valuable
and interesting. The fact Is that I
did not know enough.
But I should be concealing the
truth If did not admit that I have
keen enthusiasm for philately. No
man, however unresponsive, could be
engaged in post Office work as I have
been for so long a time without being
inocuated with a certain germ of
appreciation for stamps. The very
atmosphere of the Washington Post
Office is alive with stamp business and
it has been part of my duty to culti-
vate certain practical intelligence
about philatelic matters. Perhaps I
could say as Shakespeare did: My
spirit Is imbued In what work In, as
is the dyer's hand
Stamps themselves, however, are
not solely responsible for the vogue
which they enjoy. 1t happens, as you
will agree am sure, that the homliest
and least attractive issues frequently
are the most interesting to collectors
The logic of the matter seems to be
that stamps are reflections Of social
and cultural developments in the mind
Of the people. That being true, it fol-
lows that an increasing number of in
dividuals will be attracted to their
study. They are, in effect, so many
fragments Of history. They illustrate
the chronicle Of the progress Of man
kird.
ITO dramatize the point, let us sup
pose that by some tragic accident
American civilization should be de-
stroyed. should perish from the earth;
ages after the cataclysm archeologists
would come upon the ruins Of our
great cities or our little towns and, dig
ging in them, would unearth clues
which would guide them to an estima-
ton Of the character of our institu-
tions Among other things, they
might discover such stamps as the
beautiful National Parks series which
are current Just now. They would be
but faded scraps Of paper yet, seeing
them, the explorers would know at
once that the American people of 1884
had been refined and cultivated
enough to entertain an ardent love for
natural beauty. Otherwise, obviously,
no such stamps ever would have been
authorized, printed. distributed or used.

mere thought of such callousness
brought fresh tears and she had to
rush in for powder. That was why
she didn't see Bill smuggle Susie into
the house.
Bills footsteps sounded in the hall
and the icy fingers around her heart
melted as she saw him standing there
grinning sheepishly.
Hello. Sally" he said haltingly.
"Bill!'
She streaked across the floor and
Bill managed to take her in one
arm and deliver an extra embrace
while still hiding something behind
his back with his free hand. Sud-
denly that something wriggled vio-
lently and with "wurp! wurp!" fell
to the floor.
A tiny black Boston terrier with
white-spotted face regarded them with
roguish eyes.
"OoooohI Bill-wherever did you
get the little darling?"
"Her names SUSIE" informed Bill,
tickled at the success Of his good will
offering.
Susie solemnly surveyed her new
mistress. Then. stumpy tail wag-
ging, she "wurp-wurped" her ap-
proval.

we had that silly quarrel"
With variety program Of awk-
ward puppy antics Susie filled the
evening with merriment and then
was bedded down for the night in a
box with old rags in it.
Bill was just about to get into
bed when a mournful wall stayed
him. Sally raised her head from the
pillow, questioning eyes on Bill
Another mournful wall pierced the
stiffness.
Maybe she's hungry" suggested
Sally, then her eyes lighted with
amusement.
They slipped on dressing gowns
and took milk to Susie. The pup
blinked at the lights and Tapped up
the milk with noisy vigor. But with
the last drop the wailing commenced
anew.
Maybe she wants more" said Sally.
But this time the pup ignored the
replenished saucer. raised up her head
and walled. Just walled.

mother" Sally tried to soothe her.
"What1l we do2" sighed Bill, won
dering whether he shouldn't have
brought roses instead of falling for
the charms of an ungainly pup in
a dog fancier's window.
The wailing. interspersed with short
angry barks, beat upon their ears
with Niagara-like persistency until
their sense Of hearing became numbed.
