Subjects of Country Life

eric Van de Water, recounting the
authors search for a country
house near New York which finally
ended In Vermont, and "A Thatched
Roof" by Beverley Nichols, the tale
of a Londoners struggles with q
Tudor cottage in Hampshire.
An interesting sidelight on the
difficulties Of making a living by
the soil is furnished by Sand in
my Shoes" by Katharine Ripley.
This young woman and her husband
planted and operated q peach Or
chard in North Carolina in the 20s.
Her book is an eloquent account
of how they started with high hopes
and apparently good chances of
success and tells why they failed.
How one family developed a nom
profit but self-supporting homestead
is related by Ralph Borsodi in
Flight from the City," In 1920
the Borsodiss left the city and in
1888 were producing most of their
own food, clothing, recreation and
education.
Charles Gift: Salute to Mary
land House Of 1850" tells of the
purchase, the rehabilitation of the
home and the restoration Of the
grounds to their simple beauty.
A delightful book to take to the
country for daily sampling is Donald
C. Peattie's AN Almanac for Mod
erns," the day book of a naturalist
There is page for every day in the
year and although the materials
are familiar the treatment is poetic

When spring comes at last, the
city dweller with rural yearnings
wants to take the road again in
search Of an ideal country house
or weekend cottage that he has
pictured so clearly in his own mind.
If he wonders how others, like him.
self, have Jared, there are the stories
OF a few pioneers in the back-to-
the-land movement. Their books
may serve as guides or merely be
read for pleasure. The following
titles are suggested and may be
obtained at the Central Public
Library, Eighth and X streets NV,
and its branches.
Charles M. Wilson's Country Liv-
ing Plus and Minus" is addressed
to the city person who is con-
sidering going into farming pro-
fessionally. 1t is practical and to
the point, discussing the pitfalls as
well as the pleasures of country life.
For the city dweller who looks
to the country for temporary re-
freshment, there has just been

ends by Virginia Kirkus. 1t re-
lates the experiences of the author
in finding, buying and making over
an old country house for weekend
vacations near New York. She gives
facts and figures on every phase OF
the undertaking which makes her
book useful and suggestive.

Wolves Against the Moon
BIZ Julia Cooler Altroccj

By Julia Cooley Altrocchi.
Ne1D York: The Macmillan Co.
evolves Against the Moon" should
find = place among the outstanding
historical novels of American liter
ature. 1t is a story of pioneering
and many of its chapters are satu-
rated with blood; but it rises above
mere melodrama by the richness of
its background and the artistry of
its character delineations.
The time is the turn into the nire-
teenth century; the locale, from the
Great Lakes region southwark to
New Orleans. The principal char
acters are Joseph Bailly, whose
daughter married one of the early
Biddles of Philadelphia, and his
beautiful half-breed wife. Mrs.
Bailly is a blend of native shrewd-
ness, deep poetic feeling, physical
and moral courage, delicacy and
passion. And she is more than a
match for the "other woman" in the
taxa woman Of the world who.
perhaps, masks her better qualities.
AS the white man pushes farther
westward American business moves
forward; the Astors, among other
later financial giants, have their
beginning; Detroit is born, de-
stroyed and reborn; Chicago makes
an uncertain start. These are the
principal factual ingredients of the
story-these and the progress of
civilization against the opposition
of the Indian, opposition in which
massacre follows massacre. And
with these historical incidents as a
colorful backdrop, Miss Altrocchi
presents drama that Is as absorb
ing as anything of the kind that you
are likely to read this year-or any
other year, for that matter.
EVOLVES Against the Moon" is, in
other words, q splendid book wildly
imagined and skillfully executed.

Men of Morque
By John Philips CranUeI and

w. w. Norton e. Co., Inc.

William, B. Crane. Ne1O York:
w. w. Norton & Co., Inc.
The Hague, Treaty of 1907 ended
privateering. the one method that
daring crews of small nations used
for centuries in bedeviling mighty
naval powers, but it was American
men of marque who brought the
practice to it's fullest fruition in the
War of 1912.
The authors of "Men of Marque"
with a wealth of detail that attests
to arduous hours of research, have
recorded the play-by-play activities
of almost all the 1875 fleet Baltimore
Clippers which took 556 prizes from
the British and from Americans who
traded with the enemy.
1t was a game of hide-and-seek
against the British men-of-war.
Wounds and deaths were frequent
for the Americans, but so were the
rich prizes which hauled down colors
before their craftsmanship. The
sailing qualities of the Chesapeake
Bay ships made easy their escape
from the numbering battle wagons
of the enemy. And despite the blood
letting, gallantry toward the de-
feated was the hallmark of Ameri-
can shippers.
Cockiest of all was Thomas Boyle,
captain of the double-topsail
schooner Chasseur. He declared a
blockade of England and Ireland,
and proceeded to carry it out with
his one ship, but with great success.
Some of the shippers were not sue
cessful. Poor seamanship-which
was scarce-and poor Judgment sent
many to captor's brig.
When the British fleet, which
later burned Washington, blockaded
the bay, many privateers and armed
letters Of marque vessels slipped
through in the dark and fog. How
ever, not one vessel entered the bay
for a year up to December, 1914,
through the blockade.

Greenberg, Inc.
'The Art of Being Successful
Business Girl" is the subtitle which
Miss Torson has chosen for ASK MY
Secretary" and it would seem to be
about the best description of the
book that could be given.
The author, who, by the way, is q
Washington secretary, informs us
at the outset that there are 2,0OO,-
900 girls and women working in Of
fees in the United States, and to
this large group she endeavors to
impart both information and advice.
She tells how to handle every ONCE
detail, from keeping the letters Of
ones typewriter clean to being tact
full with the boss wife.
In her treatment of this wide
range Of subjects she goes far beyond
the limits Of ordinary technical in
formation. One gathers that In her
philosophy the most important point
Of all is learning to understand ones
employer. Among her many whole
some suggestions, the following Is a
fair example: IF you have any as
pirations to get ahead, take all the
responsibility your boss will give
you. not Is little as possible"
This Is Q book that might well
be read by the 2.00o, 900 women ONCE
workers to advantage, for 1t will bet
ter prepare them for the important
part they play IN the conduct Of
