THE SUMMING UP
Somerset Maugham
BY Bernice Fir,neSon

This is not, as the author points
out on his first page, either an au-
photography or a book of recollec-
tons; it is rather the matured con-
illusions on life and letters which
a great writer and distinguished
man has reached in the course Of a
long, full and busy life. Somerset
Vaughan "Of Human Bondage"
and ION a Chinese Screen" his
hand has been deeply felt on the
contemporary theatre, and few
writers exert a deeper impress on
current literature. He is the dean
of living English novelists; the clar-
ity Of his style, the perfection Of
his form, the subtlety of his
thought, yelled thinly behind a
worldly cynicism, have made him
an international figure. Part Of his
autobiography, the external part,
has been told beneath the conceal
ing guise Of fiction in "Of Human
Bondage" and in other books; but
this is the autobiography Of his
bond; the story of what he has felt
and the conclusions to which those
feelings have led him. To any civ

ilized mind every page has It's per-
sonal overtones; to read them is to
talk with and consult an old and
wise friend, who has known and
measured the world and It's prob
lens, who has seen men and wom-
en- in all their emotional nakedness,
who understands, and interprets
wisely. The Summing Up Is as in
spring and informing book; q de-
claration Of faith which win take
its place in our literature with such
book as "Apologia Pro Sua Vita"
To the artist, whether of letters or
on the stage, or in other fields, 1t

the clear kind Of opinion, the sound

Ruth McKenney
Ruth McKenney and her sister
Eileen crashed the columns Of the
New Yorker" long enough ago to
have something Of reputation in
the land by this time. After such
noisy success, it was inevitable
that a whole book Of their adven-
lures would appear. What Is sur
prising is that the connected story
is so much funnier than the serial
version. For in the book one gets
better impression Of their fast
growing characters, their palpitat-
ing natures. One follows them
from infancy to the verge of ma
turity where, we regret to say, they
seem to be tottering at this NOM
emit.
Their story goes back ~ the days
of peanuts and the silent movies.
debating teams and bird hunts,
girls camp and Easter eggs. BY
easy stages it progresses through
first lessons in being a waitress,
the care and feeding of Georgian
Prince, the blushful experiences OF
girl reporter interviewing Ran
dolph Churchill. Later the two
roaring Irish lasses migrate to New
York, where they hire an apart
ment from Mr.. Splitter, sad fell
low who couldn't tell fungus from
an elm tree. The final staggering
climax is reached the might Eileen
and Ruth entertain the Brazilian
Navy.
All the adventures related in this
book, it can be guaranteed, really
happened. Ruth Mckinney Is real
and uses her right name as well as
that of her sister. What cannot be
known, or even guessed, is the fu-
ture of two young ladies whose past
was so unrepressed. In the words
of an immortal Broadway billboard
this book is honey, natural a
smash"

While the Offensive failed TO
move on with telling strokes.
Sauk Centre easily dominated
Parkers Prairie. The locals
challxed 9 first downs to l for
Parkers, but that doesn't tell
the story of the domination.
There was nothing flashy about
the game. IL was q steadily
plugging contest In which the
locals were alive to their
breaks; and punched Parkers
back to continuously put them

look the effort at punning, there
looms back of 1t an uncanny sense
Of discernment. So now it's loft
ness, the Prognosticator Extraor-
dinaire. Although it's difficult to
overlook the fact he allowed two
points in the two touchdowns he
called. Advantage in being the
coach's wife is summed up in this.
When the locals ran the try for
point on a fake kick, Evelyn Har-
vey said, IT knew they wouldn't
kick. They haven't had the goal

And SO they make history.
