THE painter Goya clearly belongs to
that class Of men whose lives were
designed to serve as special benefi-
cences to the writer's Of historical nov-
els, others in the group being Sir
Walter Raleigh, Parnell, Aaron Burr
and Benevenuto Cellini. Such heroes
never die, but periodically are brought
forth to shine before dull world with
a glamour which they themselves would
probably find startling. carrying the
tidings that blazing romance Is not,
after all, limited to imaginary doings,
for here, look you, are real men who
wondrously did thus and 50. The
present work is an opus with this
theme It undertakes to show us that
Goya was a very devil Of q romantic
fellow who only painted pictures when
he could ind no man to fight or
woman to WOO. And there you are.
It Is done in what might be called
"virile" style, which is to say that it

Well, Of course, political party is

member any party which did not)
and still its aim is to get itself elected
and start drawing its pay We have
always been an extravagant Nation,
so we are told, but in the past the
salaries of our jobholders have not
exceeded our abilities: we could keep
our politicians in style which con-
tented them and still continue to pay
the grocer.
Recently, however. the politicos
have become accustomed to a splendor
Of living which bids fair to bank

platform for Gov. La Toilette or any
candidate who wants it-Reduce
Taxes A party which ran on that
would perform at least one service to
the country, elected or not. 1t would
give, in its election returns, census
of the wills and will-nots-to para
phrase a famous New Deal slogan. 1t
would divide the country, accurately
and to a man, into those who work

careful study of the types which COM

tial number of the unemployed are

do not want to work and who will
always find excuses for idleness. The
depression has been godsend to such
as these. as he sees it, for it has pro-
vided both the excuse and the REM
edy-relief. 1t is his opinion that
these psychological unemployables"
should be put to work in institutions
such as the Army" or in adult C. C. c.
Corps. where they would do something

COLLECTING ANTIQUES FOR THE
HOME. Edited by Henry H. Say
lor. New York: Robert Mcbride.
THE history Of antiques, 50 often
put up in great tones full Of
dates, reigns of kings and queens
and other impedimenta. is most dis
couraging to any but the most eru-
dite. They are probably the real
reason most of us know 50 little of
the background of the fine antique
furniture and handcrafts we in
stinctively admire.
Henry Saylor has just edited new
volume. Collecting Antiques for the
Home" in which all the charm and
excitement of the human, personal
struggle behind the scenes makes
the subject understandable. His
book contains many brief but COM
prehensive studies written by quail
ned experts on old furniture and
accessories. It is the spring selec-
ton of the Arts and Decoration Book
Society.
Mr.. Saylor is primarily an archi-
tect with q fine knowledge Of what
goes into q house to make more
than just . shelter. Believing that
taste that is founded on knowledge
commands our self-respect at least.
and perhaps also the only respect
worthy of consideration in other folk, :"
he has taken q long look back through
the years, selected the best they had
to offer and given us enough of the
human background to make 1t all
live.
The fact that each subject is writ
ten by an individual, an authority
on his subject, gives both reading in
terest and authenticity: Mr.. Saylor's
light, gay humor maintains spirit
Of excitement and adventure all
through the book.
It is most unfortunate that the
photographs with which the book is
illustrated are lacking in detail and
poorly reproduced. Because of this
the book loses much In technical
emphasts. NJ, N.

THE sEALERs. BY Peter Tutein. New
York: G. P. Putnam's Sons.
SEAL harvesting in polar seas offers
exciting fare to the prospective
scribe and it is also a factual topic
that has somehow escaped the ubiqui-
tous eye Of authordom. Also Mr..
Tutein happens to be an ex-sealer
himself, who not only excelled in his
profession, but turned out to be a
passing good story-teller.
This sealing business is no game
of badminton. One wonders that in
surance companies condescend even to
sneer at sealers as potential policy
holders. Farther from nowhere, open
to more varieties Of violent death, and
less pitied than any mortal, these
hunters Of Pinnipedia at the height
of their season might well be described
as accomplishing the absolutely i'm

skeptic.
Considering everything, the sealer
has little more than celestial grace

NOW and then a reader closes q

no way related with that novel. He
achieves for the moment q perspec-
tive rarely accomplished without the
blessing of time.
Phyllis Bentley does this, as well as
turning out an absorbing and skill
fully written story. In her latest book
Sleep in Peace" It concerns the
generation, her own, making the
transition from Victorian England
industriously expanding, pious, a
great power and proud Of ito the
confused revolts and uncertain 10y
