New Triangle
Angles

A new modern triangle story ap-
pears in Honeymoon Delayed" by
Rob Eden.
Paula Weston was very much in
terested in two men. Jerry Trevor
was a rich mans son. Kurt Ora
ham was an artist. He had not yet
arrived" Mrs. Weston had her own
ideas whom her daughter was to
marry and Paula at last sue
cumbed to the practical point Of
view.
But Kurt, in true Bohemian
fashion, refused to be put off by
the curt note that came to him
shortly after Paula had married
Jerry. The marriage was rather a
sudden and private affair and that
helped Kurt out.
Jerry got on the train ahead of
his wife to throw off the public.
Paula never made the train be-
cause Kurt kidnapped her and took
her to his studio on the island.
Jerry went on his honeymoon
alone to Quebec. Kurt released the
girl who almost became his bride
the day after his kidnapping.
The answer to this tangle makes
satisfactory conclusion that
should be read and appreciated.

Few above the Mason Dixon Line
are fortunate enough to have had
the unique experience of listening
to the rambling biography of such
a one as Nanny Lou. And, yet, for
the price of this volume, there is an
experience awaiting the purchaser
that almost equals listening to
words as they were spoken.
The book is done in the old
mammy's dialect, slightly changed
to make it understandable. The
change has not been drastic. The
quaint phrases are so nearly intact
that they have lost very little Of
their charm.
Miss Castlen has written the
story as Nanny Lou told it to her.
Nanny Lou couldn't read or

Want to Meet
Yourself?

Meet Yourself AS You Really
Are" lays the claim to being the
first book ever published which
reviews the reviewer before he
reviews the book. Authors Prince
Leopold Loewenstein and William
Gerhardi follow that up with the
hope that you may come out with
clear conscience, while the pub
fishers make it unanimous by hop
ing that you may unearth no
horrid truths"
Whether you do or not depends
upon just how truthful you are IN
the first place. You have to be
gin with an open mind. A per-
fectly blank mind would be even
better. You might keep the book
by your bedside and seized it the
first thing in the morning before
you've had time to polish off your
defense mechanism.
It's proper place, however, is
the drawing room table. Its prop
er sphere, a party. Solitary self
analysis is all very well in its
way but meeting yourself face to
face for the first time is some
thing of a strain and you might
be better off with some moral sup
port. You never can tell what
you're going to unearth next. Still,
it's good, clean fun.
All you need is the handbook, a
pad and pencil, and the willing
ness to begin. After that you
don't dare stop. You're just led
on and on into your secret self.
Try it and see what happens.

Mr.. Costigan, who first achieved

His Autographs, which are more
beautiful than his etchings, are
done with the sweep and feeling

cognizance of color and shading
and with a deeper understanding
of humanity than is expressed by

War Fear

an contemporary Europe the
next world war is always pos
sible. But a casual tour of the
principal capitals this fan left
me with a tourists impression
q very definite one, however
that the likelihood is usually

These are the words of Walter
Mills, author of Road to War;
and THE Martial Spirit" They
are written in his latest Offering
a small book entitled Viewed
Without Alarm"
AS Mr.. Mills also put it. IN
the preface to this little volume
written after a fall tour Of Europe:
"When 1 left the United
States, it was with some faint
doubt as to whether / might not
be engulfed in a world war be-
fore I returned. When I came
back, it was with q sense that
such fears could be exaggerated" !"
Mr.. Mills thinks a change of
perspective, accomplished by trav
cling over the ocean, smooths out
some Of the fears and SO things
seen in their native surroundings
aren't as bad as they sound. His
brilliant reportorial instinct makes
his book intensely interesting.

as the center about whom the
world revolves, instead of selecting
a tree or a Gothic cathedral for
the chief subject-matter, as most
etchers are inclined to do.
In virtually all of his prints, Mr..
Costigan's central theme is human
ity, and around his men, women
and children the trees grow and
the fields are plowed.
This is indeed an unusual ap-
proach for an etcher, and where
Mr.. Costigan's workers In the
Field" his Mother and Child
and Workers of the Soil" are
most effective is in their human
appeal.
Mr.. Costigan goes to workers
who are almost peasants for his
inspiration. They are haggard
people, who show the strain of toll
on their faces, their hands, in the
stoop of their bodies. In some
places, he even injects bit of
humor, but it is a kindly and SYM
pathetic smile for people who en-
JOY what the world has to offer
little though it may be for them.
SELF-TAUGHT
Mr.. Costigan, born in Provi,
dence, R. l., in 1888, is a self
taught artist. He has worked with
equal success in oils, water colors,
etching and lithography. He is a
member of many prominent art
societies, and has won many dis
tinguished awards for his work.
He was elected to the National
Academy in 1928, and received the
following awards: Logan Medal
($1,50O, Chicago Art Institute;
Shaw Medal ($1,OOO, Salmagundi
Club; Second Altman, National
Academy of Design; Speyer Prize,
National Academy of Design:
Third Hallgarten Prize, National
Academy, and some IA other i'm
portant awards. These have
mostly been for his paintings.
In the graphic arts field, in
which he has been working for
only five years, he has received
much recognition. with his prints
in many important libraries, mu-
seums and private collections. He
is a member of the Society of
American Etchers.

In THE Sea of Grass" Conrad
Richter presents an absorbing pic

between the old-time cattlemen
and the pioneers who drove their
covered wagons onto the broad
ranges of the southwest and
"nested" on the plains. They
ploughed the land, killing the
grass without which the cattle
would starve and their crops died
for lack Of rain. Material for the
story in part at least was fur

who lived through those trying
years.

New Story of
India

Mr.. Francis Yeats-Brown has
written another book on India.
AS its title implies it Is in some
respects a sequel to THE Lives of
a Bengal Lancer" and yet Lancer
at Large" is not truly a sequel.
1t does not carry with it that
devil-may-care atmosphere that
gave Hollywood the inspiration
for the perturbation of the former
book and yet it is India.
India with all its strangeness,
it's glimpses into the religions and
the customs that make the name
for the western reader at least
somewhat akin to a fairyland-a
fairyland to be sure based on
earthly and reasonable facts of
everyday life quite common to the
eastern mind but swathed in al
most unbelievable cloth for the
WCoUCL IICI--IU- 40 d 4A1OI Z cC1 1OuO
book. 1t still is permeated with
the love Of India but it is more
understanding.
1t takes the customs, the-out-
of-the-way expressions of life and
places them in English that is
not exactly cold even if it does
give a startling effect when read.
AS a whole it describes places,
incidents and people that Mr..
Yeats-Brown has seen that have
an instant fascination for those Of
us who spend our lives in the
bustling reaches of an American
city. 1t can be recommended as
highly interesting reading.
