Bu Bernard Robb.

~ bernard ROOO. (UuttOn.)
In this book, as typical OF Vir-
ginia as any you will read in long
time, Bernard Robb tells about his
family and Gay Mont, the delight
full home in which they have lived
for the last $50 years. 1t is. accord
ing to the foreword. one of the few
really old homes that have escaped
"the devastating process known as
restoration"
Paradoxically, although Mr.. Robb
is doing the telling, he does little
talking. Uncle Woodson does it in
dialect difficult to record faith
fully. Harry Stillwell Edwards gave
us "Eneas Africanus," and Joel
Chandler Harris, another Georgian,
wrote Uncle Remus"; but in Uncle
Woodson. Mr.. Robb has given us a
definite personality, born slave on
the Robb estate and throughout his
life faithful servant of the fam
lily. There is nothing by any stretch
| of the fancy mythical about him.
Neither the Emancipation Procla-
nation nor any other economic
or social Development has disturbed
the relationship that has existed
throughout the years between the
Robb family and its servants. Uncle
Woodson couldn't bear to think of
being away from his home. De
wucks mus go on" he used to say.
He lived happily, and all his life
leaned upon Old Marster and Young
Marster. That those days are "be-
yond recall does not mean they are
beyond the memory of living men.
Il ever a person were privileged to
reminisce, that person was Uncle
Woodson. The yarns he spins will
charm thousands.
To sum it all up, this is a beau
tiful tribute to a mana loyal
friend now gone, who. on the edge
of dark, used to talk to his white
children about a number of things.
The title comes from the hospitable
Woodsons oft repeated good-by,
Our dos hang on welcum hinges. :"
A further word should be said
about Mr.. Robb. He, too, was born
at Gay Mont. He received his bach
elor Of science degree from the Uni
versity of Maryland and his master
of science degree from George
Washington University. He lives at
Richmond. while his sister, Miss
Fannie Bernard Robb, lives at Gay
Mont.
If it were possible, Mr.. Rohb
should have remembered more.
Some living farther away may not
think SO. The brevity OF the work
adds much to its charm and vivid
ness. It will open a thousand doors
of fancy to those who read a while.
Put the book down, and dream
dreams.

Animals Are Ny Hobby
By Gertrude Dacies Lints.

By Gertrude Dacies Lints.
Mcbride
Mrs. Lintz has literally devoted
her life to animals. At present she
lives on the Shore road in Brook
lyn. N. Y, surrounded by what she
calls jungle" in which chimpan-
ices, dogs, rabbits, gorillas leopards
and horned owls lead an idyllic ex-
istence. But, as she explains in
this autobiography, she mas teen
collecting and loving animals since
she was 3, when she was taken to a
circus and saw lions in a cage and
wept because they would not let the
lovely things" out to pay with her.
Few people have had SO determined
a preoccupation.
Mrs. Lintz began life in Wales as
the daughter of man vino first
wanted to be an opera singer and
later became an evangelist. This
interesting parent took his large
family to Tennessee when Mrs. Lintz
was a child Her early background
was mountain whistle stop, as she
calls it, named Hickory With. She
remained a hill-billy until she was
10, when the capricious fate which
has governed her existence caused
her to be adopted by nultimillion-
air philanthropist. who moved her
from Hickory With to a girls school
in Paris.
Touring Europe, she fell victim
to the charms of the st. Bernard
and decided to breed the famous
dogs in America as a career. From
Bernards to chimpanzees was only
a step with her, and so she has
gone on-making animals her hobby
Her autobiography is just an ac-
count of one animal, or species,
after another, which she has reared
| and loved with what seems to be
genuine worship.
Animal enthusiasts certainly will
find her book pleasure. 1t is Illus
trated with photographs of her
| favorites in various engaging poses.
| While it is little hard for this re-
viewer to understand how any one
can feel a strong affection for
gorilla, it is also apparent to her that
Mrs. Lintz has written of her affec-
tlons with perfect sincerity. De
gustibus non disputandium est, as
the old lady put it when she was
seen kissing her COW.

But You'll Be Back
By Marguerite Steedn1a1.
(HOughtOn Mi61in.)

This Is first novel by a former
feature writer for the Atlanta Jour-
nal. The setting is the typically
small town of Thessaly during the
depression years. Through the de-
termination of Miss Cora Gaunt,
one of the towns more affluent
citizens. Thessaly is eventually
changed from sweet. sleepy, gone
tossed village into a model, semi
industrial, self-sustaining COM
munity
The novel is a long drawn out af-
fair which undoubtedly would have
made better short story. The
characters are all the stock ones
usually trotted out when the scene
is pastoral one. There is Miss
Cora, an iron woman with a soft
heart, who refuses to believe that
Yankees have corner on ingenuity.
Peter is the boy who is sure that
Southerners can never 60 places
until they get out of the South. He
goes to New York to win fame and
fortune, but returns to Thessaly to
marry his childhood sweetheart.
Miss Steedman's book has all the
PAD points OF a first novel and very
few OF the good ones.
