DANISH SPINACH
Dear Almanack:

Dear Almanack:
In Denmark when we cooked
spinach we never cooked the
spinach in water We always
made cream sauce and chopped
the spinach raw and then put
it in the cream sauce. In that
way we didn't waste any vita
minis by throwing part of the
water away. Here is the recipe:
Two tablespoons Of butter in
a saucepan; melt 1t, add 2 table
spoons OF flour, stir, add gradri-
ally j cup of milk until it gets
like a thick cream sauce. then
wash the spinach and chop fine
and add 10 the sauce. Boil about
5 minutes. add a pinch OF salt,
and some more butter.

STORY Lives of Great Composers" 8"

starting point for any one wanting
an introduction to some of the best

anecdotes and bits of biography
about the great musicians from
PythagoraS to GerShWin. as well as
the stories behind some of the mu-
sic which they composed.
Among composers starting their
lives as child prodigies was Mozart,
who, throughout his short life,
played and composed gay music that
reflected none of his own trials and
privations. His story is told by
Marcia Davenport in Mozart" The
name of Strauss has come to be
synonymous with gay, happy waltzes.

as the story of Strauss, father and

According to some authorities, the
musical interpreter is vastly impor-
tant as the connecting link between
great music and the audience. 1t

interpreter is as infinitely varied as
the number of interpreters. David

The MoyfieId Deer
By Mark Van DOren.

@t w ~ Wv DNi Wv ~ VIZ y
Holt, Ne1U York.
This is long narrative blank
verse poem. It is based on a brief
violent tragedy which took place in
the Illinois frontier country about a
hundred years ago, a vendetta which
began when a young boy shot the
pet deer Of an eccentric old hunter.
The hunter killed the boy, the boys
brother killed the hunter, the hunt
er's son came riding to the boys
home to kill, in turn, his fathers
killer. But neighbors intervened, and
the blood-letting was finally stopped.
1t was the sort of thing which hap
pens not infrequently in frontier So
cieties where vengeance is neces-
| sarlly private matter, and its quail
ity derives from the forthrightness
of the conduct of actors-an eve for
an eye and no other code conceiv-
| able.
Mr.. Van Doren has seen fit to
make OF this rude, violent affair a
| dreamy, vague piece of writing in
which the tempestuous sequence of
the events is all but lost in the
spate of his moralizing pentame-
ters and has seen fit further to
make his frontiersmen talk like very
noble savages indeed. The result is
that there is little relation between
the story which the poet would tell
and the form in which he has cast
| that story.
The reviewer can only say that
for those who like the gentle rock
! ing of good blank verse and can ride
| the swell for 300 pages or there
abouts, "The Mayfield Deer" is SIM
| ply made to order.

By Elmer Ellis. Alfred A.
Knopt, Ne1U York.
This is a biography of the man
who made the immortal Dooley,
Peter Finley Dunno. It turns out
to be a success story and a pleasant
one, too. The young Dunno. son
CT a middle-class IRISH Catholic
family of Chicago, finished high
school with low marks and was
deemed unworthy of further edu-
cation. He thereupon sought a
newspaper job, being II at the time.
He got the job and, by the time he
was 90 was city editor of the Chi
cago Times. He began. to write
the Dooley pieces shortly afterWard,
from which time he was a made
man. Few figures in our native
folk lore have been more cherished
than the inimitable Irishman

his creation.

many years thereafter. He was
recognized as a brilliant wit not
only by the general public, but by
the men of letters of his time. He
numbered among his friends the
literary great and prominent of his
day. counting in the ranks of his
admirers such widely different per-
sonalities as Henry James and
George AIDE, as Edith Wharton and
F. P. A. At one time he made an
effort to drop the Dooley papers
and establish himself in his >own
name, but his public would have
none of it. So he went on as he
was, happy, rich, famous and be-
loved. and lived out a normal NOR
tai span.
His story is told here quite &C

Lives and Dollars
By J. D. Ratclif. Dodd, Mead
& Co., Ne1D York.

Some of the outstanding scientific
achievements of our day are inter-
woven with the lives and personali-
ties of the men who made them in
this dramatically written collection
of % stories.
More and more. the men who are
primarily responsible for the vast
changes in the richness of life are
emerging from the laboratory as the
heroes of the age, men with loves
and hates, ideals and adventures.
Mr.. Ratcliff has caught the color
of their lives and some of the quail
ity of their personalities.
The sketches are divided into two
groups-one dealing with the ad-
vances in medicine which have pro-
longed life, and the other with the
achievements in physics and chemis-
try which have enriched it. 1t is one
of the most entertaining of all the
recent books on popular science.
