Murder and
Mystery

An uncanny murderer proWling
through an oldfashioned apart
ment house furnishes the gripping
suspense in Mignon G. Eberhart's
latest mystery, THE House on the
Roof"
From the very first when a
beautiful singer is shot down in
her strange abode at the end Of
the fire escape while she is singing
her favorite song, until the queer
plot is unravelled in a most I'm.
usual manner, there is hardly a
moment that the tempo slows or
the interest lagS.
The strange setting in this build.
ing which has a house on its roof
adds materially to the eerie tone
of the volume and carries you
through to the end when the MUIR
derer is unmasked in a scene re-
plete with horror in the very room
in which the first crime was
committed.
The undoubted popular appeal
this manuscript evoked when it
appeared in magazine serial form
will be heightened with its advent
as a book this week.

1Out," a story of marriage in its
early stages.
This, strangely enough, has
been heralded as an inverted
Tanning of the Shrew," though
the resemblance has small basis
in the ensuing developments.
To be sure, Stephen and Lita
would have been better off single.
Certainly they should never have
married each other: Stephen, be-
ing an ill-natured, Stiff-necked in
dividual with a genius for making
the worst of a bad situation and
Lita, one Of those rare, generous
hearted creatures born to forgive
and forget.
Naturally enough, Lita pays for
Stephens deficiencies and as the
story progresses her troubles in
crease. Her mother deserts the
irresponsible nit-wit she was fool"
ish enough to marry. Her sister"
in-law'S husband abandonS his
family to hunt treasure in the
Cocos Islands and her exceedingly
childish mother-in-law takes occa.
sion to indulge in a series Of
jealous tantrums. All Of which
makes the first six months of
marriage anything but a holiday
junket.
Added to this is the fact that
when a few pounds sterling would
have erased most of their diff.
cultieS, Lita is forbidden by
Stephen to use the legacy left
some years previous by man she
once loved and intended to marry.
It finally takes the advent Of
LitaS child to bring them To-
gether for the closing rhapsody
though even this is set in a minor
chord.
Hence, If comparisons are In
order, Nov We Set Out" is q
good deal closer to Another
Language" which nirrored .
truer state of domestic discord.
For, if either Stephen or Lita are
any tanner in the beginning than
in the end, they show no signs Of
it.

BOOK SHEDS NEW LIGHT
ON HILL FOLKS

"The natives Of the Carolina
Blue Ridge hardly need the
printed page for remembrance"
says Muriel Farley Sheppard,
"They have mountains to stand
for them" And these curve in
and out Of a picturesque country
which is still SCARED by the pass
ing of the ancientS.
Nevertheless, Mrs. Sheppard has
been delving into the Toe Valley
Records collecting material for a
book which she calls cabins in
the Laurel" Happily, Chapel Hill
has seen fit to send it out with
% full-page Photographic illustra'
tions and the result is the next

best thing to a vacation among the
spruce pines.
Mrs. Sheppard overlooks nothing
of interest, telling tales Of buried
treasure, guerilla warfare and
burnt mountain weddings, and
inasmuch as she writes from the
outlander'S viewpoint, her sympa
thetic interest is most persuasive
It is edifying to learn that
'mountaineer" is a hateful fur
rim word in Toe Valley ears" and
it may surprise you to discover
that the hill women are Sprightly
creatures full of resource and en-
tirely unlike the luckleSs drudges
they have previously been pic
tured.
Mrs. Sheppard also throws a
new light upon mountain loyalty
pointing out that the hillsman
thinks he ought to stick to you
whenever he can, and especially
when you are in the wrong, be-
cause then you will need help the
most.
Finally, she reveals why people
of such capabilities should be con.
tent to browse away their lives
under primitive living conditions.
Unlike the outlander the hill
folks have no desire to sell their
time for money. They want time
for leisure and they can get that
without money by reducing their
scale of wants to the minimum.
And that they have done to the
utmost.

The water colorS comprising
the exhibition were painted by
Miss Gusts during a recent visit
to the countries of the Medi-
terranean.
They are really lovely things,
full of action and color. They
are graceful and at the same
time forceful, and their compost
ton shows real knowledge and
feeling.
Most Of these water colors are
scenes in Egypt, with the colorful
costumes and market places COM
mon to that part of the world,
and the interesting faces of its
inhabitants.
The exhibition comes here after
having been exhibited at the
Grand Central Art Galleries in
New York, the New York Water
Color Club, the National Associa-
ton of Women Painters and the
Pennsylvania Academy.
Interesting Pictures
Miss Gusts, whose work has
gained her fame in this country
and abroad, is also interested in
photography, and some very inter.
esting pictures which she made
while on her Mediterranean trip
have recently appeared in out
standing photography magazines.
She is a member Of the New
York Water Color Club, Washing
ton Water Color Club, Society Of
Washington Artists, Arts Club of
Washington, American Water
Color Society, National Arts Club,
National Association of Women
Painters and Sculptors, Boston
Art Club, New Haven Paint and
Clay Club and the North Shore
Arts Association.
Not only have her water colors
and photography attracted atten-
ton, but she has also illustrated
numerous children's books and
has painted the covers Of several
outstanding magazines.
BrOmOlls
An exhibition of photographs
by Leonard Craske, well known
sculptor of Boston, will be held
concurrently with Miss GUSTS
water colorS at the Arts Club.
Technically known as bromoilS,
Mr.. Craske'S photographs prove
to those who may never have
known it before that photography
is not only the taking Of pictures,
but a real art.
Mr.. CraSke'S bromoils are por-
traits and action pictures, beau
tifuly shaded, with a marvellous
play of lighting on his figures.
BromoilS, printed in oil ink
are made in a hand printing
process which gives a great lati'
tude Of control. So great is this
latitude that no two bromotlistS
work alike and their prints have
as much individuality as any
painters work.
Mr.. Craske is well known for
his sculpture works, noteworthy
among which are his Gloucester
Fisherman statue at Gloucester,
Mass; Delong Memorial in New
York city: the War Memorial at
