KATRINA BY Sally Salminen Trans
lated from the Swedish by Naomi
Walford New York: Fsrrar and
Rinehart
THE reviewer has to confess that
she took this book up with a cer-
tain amount of cynicism 1t has been
introduced with almost too great
claims to admiration II is. in the
first place. prize winning novel, and
prize winning novels are notoriously
disappointing. Furthermore, it's au-
thor has been the subject of rather
picturesque news-she was the daugh-
ter OF poor Swedish family, she
worked as domestic servant and q
shop girl, she had no training in
writing except what she gathered
from a correspondence course-and
her first novel. written while she was
in domestic service, won q coveted
prize. 1t was Cinderella like and the
reviewer thought irresistibly of how
pleased the blurb writer's OF Miss
Salminen's publishers must be to have
50 complete natural dropped into
their ready hands. But the book
really is moving and good. 1t de-
serves its praise.
The reviewer did not think so, to
be sure, until she had read three
quarters Of It, Its opening chapters
do not promise the merit which is
found in its latter part. The story
is that OF = young Finnish girl who

The heroine's husband has won her
by his tales Of the beauty and wealth
of the islands. When she arrives
at his home. however, she finds that
the wealth which he described belongs
altogether to the petty barons of the
neighborhood, and that the poor Deo-

NO HEARTS TO BREAK. Susan
Ertz. New York, D. Appleton
Century Co.
HIS book is labeled a novel by its
author, so We must assume that
1t is one. But it would be rather
hard for the uninstructed reader to
guess that it should fall into that
category. 1t reads rather more like
circumstantial history. a history writ
ten in popular style for popular,
l almost said juvenile, consumption.
But not even the most modern of
modern writers for children would de-
pict a historical character to young
readers in the terms that Susan Ertz
uses to describe Elizabeth Patterson.
wife of Jerome Bonaparte.
Doubtlessly this book was inspired
by the recent romance between an
other Baltimore girl, Bessie Wallis
Warield. and royalty. Perhaps there
is more than a hint of analogy be-
tween the cases and the characters
of the women involved, although GER
tainly not between the men. But the
hint is sufficiently veiled so that
nothing but a suspicion fingers in the
mind of the reader
According TO Susan Ertz Betsy
Patterson was a cold, scheming, am
bilious woman, a Francomaniac from
the cradle. belittler of her own
country. Jerome Bonaparte was a
weakling and fool, verdict doubt
lessly confirmed by other historians.
Fate. France and the Bonapartes were
too much for Betsy Patterson. but
she did manage g full and interest
ing life, to acquire a large fortune
by her own efforts and to fulfill her
lifelong ambition of being near the
throne in the end-through her
grandson.
While it is hard to agree with Miss
Ertz in her final estimate OF her
heroine's character. she does present
history in an interesting highland
even using the incidents she presents.
it is not difficult to reinterpret them
and make Of the leading lady more
appealing, more natural person.
No l8-year-old, the age at which
Betsy met Jerome, is so ironcast as

1t is found in a review of American

results in this way.
Most of the spring hay fever, as
l say. Is due to the grasses, but
some cases are due to trees. The
earliest Of these over most Of the
United States is the hazelnut,
which in an ordinary season begins
to shed pollen in March. In April
the alder, cottonwood, birch, box
elder, ironwood, hard maple, hack
berry, oak, sycamore and ash may
shed. Some of these go over into
May, and in late May begin dock,
red sorrel, rye and blue grass. In
June the walnut and the chestnut
come in, and dock, blue grass,
orchard grass, lambs quarter,
wheat grass, timothy, red top
grass, buckthorn, sedge, slough
grass and sudan grass come in.
Just why certain people should
be sensitive to these particles that
float in the air is a mystery that
/ don't think anybody has solved
yet. There is some peculiar state
Of the body which makes the cells,
particularly Of the nose and eyes
and bronchial tubes, react to these
vegetable particles which are en-
tirely inoffensive to other people.
Another peculiar thing is that
during 'the season" the hypersen-
sitive person reacts to many foods
which he can handle with perfect
comfort the rest of the year. Thus
on some fine spring morning a per-
son who has been eating grapefruit
for some months will have his
usual morning dish Of it and inn
mediately come down with an at
tack Of sneezing and coughing. 1t
is a very disagreeable legacy to
carry around, and those Of us who
do not have it should be very SYM
pathetic with those who do.

wild o1apes before man domesticated
the vine for his use.
Grapes belong to the genus Wits
and the berries or fruit have become
commercially very important. This
plant is as old as history, and no
doubt Noah brought along fine cut
: ting to plant when the waters sub
sided.
North America is especially rich in
her species of Wits. The United
States now has some Of the very
finest vineyards and with the perfec-
ton Of the plants making such prog
feSs, we can have still finer ones We
OF this country must learn to have
few vines and trees in our gardens
that will supply our temporary needs.
Then we can have the same feeling
OF Joy and contentment as was voiced
when it was said, Under his own vine
and fig tree he could find peace"
The Concord grape pictured here
should be Of special interest to you,
since it is the only grape to have
handsome monument erected to it by
the town Of Concord. Through the
inspiration and efforts of Ephraim
Bull, seeds of wild grape found
growing on hillside (monument on
the spoD were planted and for three
generations the vines were tended
with care until the wildling became
tanned and responded to the intents
and plans of the planter. The perfec-
tion aimed toward is grapes of a
medium size, Of uniform shape, and
the bunch compact, with the fruit
ripening throughout at the same time.
This is what we find in the Concord
grape. And the Concord is the ia
vorite today.
The American grape is used for a
dessert fruit. We love to take a bunch
In our hands and enjoy the fruit

the table. America is blessed in an
