A Provocative
Title

If titles attract all the atten-
tion they're supposed to, William
Lobelps THE Fire Door" should
interrupt any book buyer in his
browsing from stall to stall.
He might just as easily have
called his collection of short
stories "Carter's Saturday Night" F"
since that's the title of the second
story in the group, but Fire Door"
was irresistible and Fire Door"
won.
The particular story bearing the
title is a character study in which
the memory of a past event influ-
ences a present decision. "Carter's
Saturday Night" relates the sad
plight of a man who suddenly dis
covers he has nothing to do but
sleep on an evening which should
have been dedicated to romance.
The Hook" explores the backstage
regions in a burlesque theater.
The stories are short enough for
bedtime reading if you like brisk
tale for nightcap.

20 short stories. Published by the

the lines as Joseph Schildkraut
spoke them a few seasons back at
the National.

1t takes a seasoned theatergoer

"April'S Sowing" is for readers
looking for something light in a
romantic vein. Rosemary Rees,
author of Home Is Where the

and the people roll valiantly over
their troubles to a happy ending.
Jim Carlyon drinks too much,

and skittles and Sally and Joan
have a high time solving May

Some of the circumstances be.

Happily r. C. Hutchinson stands
apart from his contemporaries by
being able to follow Up one success
with another. His Answering
Glory" put an end to the delusion
that he was the same Mr.. Hutchin-
son who wrote when Winter
Comes. There was no longer any
difficulty in keeping the two
authors apart.

standard for this brilliant novelist
and what is more to the point,
Shining Scabbord" makes its bow
as the book Of the month.
It may even give you something
to discuss in addition to "Gone
With the Wind"
Mr.. Hutchinson celebrated his
thirtieth birthday in January but
he imparts tremendous store of
information with each new work
and writes with a wisdom far ex.
ceeding his years.
His present setting is pre-war

threat from the Prussian front col.

and their struggle to remove the
stain of military dishonor from
Eugene'S name threw a dark cloud
over the family when the Germans
invaded France nearly a half cen
tury before.
When the story opens Eugene
and his relatives are still obsessed
with "the affaire SEVERN" which
everyone else in the world has for.
gotten. He has what is known as
a persecution complex. He goes
through life with a sort Of "aristo-
crat-in-tumbril' expression. Since
the approach is made through his
son Pierre's wife, we learn the
reason for his distress little by lit
tie until our interest is tangled in
the web Of his affairs.
Gradually the mystery clears
and you know that the strange
Ukranian princess who runs wild
with her CoSsack whip is his
mother. You suspect his wife of a
madness almost equaling his own
in its intensity.
You pity and diStrust his scrag-
gy, school mistress daughter Mari

Your blood grows hot in defense
of Pierre and his octoroon wife.

In her novel Masks" just pub
lished by E. P. Dutton & Co., the
Queen has woven a fantastic tale
of romance that has a distinct ap-
peal.
1t is the story, first of old Baruch
Sharaga and then the story of
Prof. Michael JanowiSh. Old
Baruch had an antique shop In
his wanderings he had found an
orphan baby girl. He brought her
to his shop.
Prof. Janowich saw her, just a
glimpse. Then he heard her sing
ing and finally Sharaga told him
the story.
The professor fell half in love
with her just to see the beautiful
pale face crowned by the glory OF
her red hair.
But, Rachel was in love with
Zanko. Zanko is what she called
the beautiful mask Of young man
that hung in the room in which
she was raised by Sharaga.
1t was, as she was told but re-
fused to believe, a death mask.
Her adventures seeking for the
man whose face brought her love
is exciting in the extreme.
Her travels in the underworld
and finally her death make the
story worthwhile experiment.
The authors name, of course,
adds much. For there are many
who will seek to find out what a
Queen thinks about when she
dreams.

Still rustling is taffeta, for it is
smart for day and evening wear.
An enchanting dress of black taf-
feta with a full skirt has the bodice
made with a low, off-theshoulder
line, the decollete edged with a
knife-pleated frll of the taffeta.
With this may be worn red roses
in a pompadour hairdress.
Hands out for new gloves will
find some beauties. For wear
with a Persian-lamb- trimmed black
wool suit or coat there are gloves
with backs of the Persian, palms
of black capeskin, and white
stitching, for extra good measure.
More important than ever for
the beach are slackS of white flan-
mel, meticulously tailored with a
high waistline. With these slacks,
one woman wears a casual roll
collar shirt in white, with a wine
colored chiffon scarf and hankie.
Nice in navy with white touches,

Dear Mrs. BeeCkman:
81 am planning to have a cock
tail party to announce the engage
ment of my girl friend to our
younger set. Is it correct, in such
a case, to send out the invitations
in the form of announcements
ahead of time? Or. since she is
to receive her ring before the
party should it be a surprise?
"Since l would be inviting 4
few girl friends of hers. with
whom 1 am not well acquainted. l
feel l should send out announce
ments. If so, how should these be
wOrded?" Cd"
I am a bit confused by the fact
that you are announcing" the en-
gagement of your girl friend. 1t
is customary for the parents of
the bride-to-be to make this i'm
portant announcement.
But perhaps you omitted to
tell me that this girls parents are
not living, and that she has no
close relatives to give this party
or to make this announcement.
Or perhaps you mean that this
