toward both mice and men.
In Stephen Vincent Benet's The

flavor of the man is put across in
one imaginary episode. Had DAN

Women and Peter
By ElisSa Landi. Alliance B
1~.. lYn., Val.

Corp, Ne1D York.
Miss Landi, actress and novelist,
is back again in the latter role with
the love life of a young playwright
as the foundation of her story. She
exercises a masterful touch in pre-
senting the undercurrent of thought
in the minds of her characters as
they live their lives. So well does
she succeed that the reader often
feels himself reading the minds of
these characters, rather than their
words and actions.
Peter Vosper, the playwright, ex-
perienced his first love as a youth.
She was Virginia, young wife of
wealthy Mr.. Hollister and STEP
mother of Peters chum, Frank Hol-
lister. Two other women figure
prominently in Peters loves-Hope
Thompson, the stage friend who
became q screen star, and finally,
Glory Hollister, Virginia's daughter.
Peter was ambitious and idealiStic.
He worked increasingly to succeed
In the theater and sought to recon-
cile love with the realities of life.
The book is just as much q story
of human emotion as Of human
events. It starts, continues and
ends with emotion.

The Anchored Heart
BIZ Ida Treat. HdrcOurt
& Co., NeU York.

d CO., Ne1D 7 OTf.
If there are still some who have
lost faith in the heart of conquered
Europe they should read Ida Treats
simple story of present conditions
on a Brittany isle. That bit of land,
refecting the currents of a war
ridden Europe. became a France in
miniature for Miss Treat. And it's
people a backbone for future
France.
Miss Treat, a MidWesterner, lived
for more than 10 years in the third
republic and knew its common cit
liens well. She saw them time and
again in the frustrated years be-
tween the wars, and she knew their
disunity. But, in this book, she ex-
presses a firm belief in a new, de-
termined France rising out of the
corruption of the old. She stakes
such faith upon the common man,
the Yves, Cornecs and Severins of
her well-told tale. 1t is in such
hands that the destiny of all van
quished peoples of troubled Europe
lie.
But Miss Treats story is chiefly
concerned with one character,
Marie-Anaik, who becomes the liv-
ing example of the faith in an
eternal France. She, the typical
Breton wife and mother, is cloaked
in the patient, unafraid spirit of the
French peasant. The Cagoulards'
treachery, screaming Stukas and
meatless days never hamper this
woman nor disturb her serenity
All that matters to Marie is the
shame of the separate peace and
hope for final victory. Marie is
more than the heroine of a straight
forward story; she is France.
1t Is in this noble spirit that Miss
Treat writes in a time of confusion
and bewilderment. She is not
bothered by what lies about her
for on her little Brittany island
with its snug home, she found the
will to believe was still strong in the
mass of people who will decide this
wars course.
