The Book of Maggie Owen
The Bobbs-Merrill Co., In
didn1pOEiS.

The Bobbs-Merriu Co., In
didnGpoAs.
Bewitching is "The Book OF Mag
gle Owen" It's charming candor
and quaint phrasings will enchant
those who can forget Hitler and
taxes, and still see an occasional Ell
behind a hedge.
Adolescently fumbling at lite, the
author is an appealing little Irish
girl who, in her own words. Is re-
solved "to be a noble woman, but
it's hard to be noble in a house
along with people not noble" Her
short book covers but few months
of her 18th year Q908), but every
page is favored with mixture of
youthful whimsy and startling ma
turity that whets reader appetite
for more of Maggie.
You can't review Maggie's book,
any more than you can catch a
sunbeam. It's just one of those
utterly delightful reading expert
ences that leaves a grand taste in
your mouth. and maybe . tear In
your eye.

Sophia

By st. John Eruine. The Mac
milan Co., NeD York.
This novel begins. strangely
enough, with the death of its
heroine. 1t ends with her ascent
into heaven.
The interim is filled with the cir
cumstances affecting Sophia's soul
as 1t hoverS for a short time about
Great Torpington, the English town
where she spent her life. She meets
other souls. including Sue. whose
earthly Cockneyisms contrast pecul-
iarly with her transigeant state. and
Emma and her husband EMERY.
who murdered her and was hanged
for his crime.
Sophia also observes and at one
time "miraculously" takes actual
part In the earthly affairs of her
husband and two daughters. In ad-
dltlon, she recalls long conversa-
tlons with her late father, a rector
whose talk was invariably climaxed
by quotations from the more abstruse
poetic works of Robert Browning.
Such narrative as this at times
seems almost to assume the form of
an allergory. If it has and discern
ible meaning, it is possibly betrayed
by an unknown souls outcry at the
brink of eternity: This is what 1
am, not what I wished to be-" In
other words, it seems to support the
late Arthur Conan Doyles conten-
ton that immortality consists of
merely living on exactly as one was
in ones former existence, though
perhaps amid different surround
ings. 1t is an interesting work, on
the whole.

The Long Winter Ends
By Ne1Uton G. Thomas. tn
Macmillan Co., Ne1D York.

o4 NCULOf ". ftOHCuos FSS
Macmillan Co., Ne,D York.
This is a novel about one Jim
Holman, who. forced to leave his
native Cornwall. finds work in an
Upper Michigan copper mine Home
sick at first for the neat hedgerows
and patchwork fields Of his English
village, and most of all for his
young wife, Pol, he finds slowly
growing within himself an intense
interest in this newly found land
America.
With infinite perseverance, Jim
learns to write so that, with his
own hand, he may be able to tell his
Pol about the wonders Of the coun-
try to which he has come. Then,
as ample reward for his patient stud
les. he is actually able to read the
very letter in which she tells him
he has a son.
In due time, that long first winter
in America comes to an end, and as
signs of approaching spring appear,
Jim is looking forward to the time
when he can show Pol and the baby
the home he is preparing for them
in the New World.
In the telling of this story, the au-
thor has employed simple technique.
A native of Cornwall himself, and
formerly miner, he has at all times
been treading on familiar ground,
and he gives us a clear and sympa-
thetic picture of the emotions of
those who have left their native
lands for America.

Strangers in Wy

~ E0munG G1tt1gdH. CndTteS
Scribner's Sons, NeW York.
This novel of the Catskills-a
strange blend of legend and imag-
inative fable-is full of a Rip Van
Wrinkle atmosphere and is not a
story designed for the serious.
Mr.. Gilligan. who has lived in the
Catskills and written Of the people
that inhabit them, spends a good
deal of time setting the stage for
the entrance of his main characters
three Italian dwarfs who have at
tempted to assassinate the Emperor
Louis Napoleon of France and
are eluding the French gendarmes
in dash to the Wy under the pro-
lection of Capt. John Bannon. who
left the Wy years before in search
of adventure. Chevaliers Malo,
Pantaloon and Jerome, and their
conversion to philanthropy around
the Wy, are intriguing and give life
to the remainder of the book, which
is inclined to be mild.
Mr.. Gil]igan is the author OF
Boundary Against Night" and sew
eral other books. He has a knack
for descriptive detail which is used
to good effect in his latest.

inverted pleats. Because this design
Is certain to be popular, the making
has been carefully simplified, and
