Dear to This Heart
BIZ Doris Kent lie Blanc. (F

BY Doris Kent LIE Blanc. (Put-
11dnl'S.)
This is a pleasant book, mostly
about nice people--the very thing
for an evening when your nerves are
all knotted up from war worries.
Perhaps the unrelieved virtue Of
John Chester and Uncle Charlie and
Aunt May will be too much to take
in single dose. But If you're not
too didactic, you will enjoy a warm,
tender sensation and probably a
good nights sleep.
Johns parents were not of Uncle
Charles startling mettle, and they
were killed one night in an auto
crash en- route to party. So at 4,
John took up his life with his faith
er's brother and Aunt May and their
5-year-old twins, Tim and Tony, in
the comfortable Mississippi town
Of Avenel.
The gentleness Of his aunt and
uncle and the skill with which they
turned attention away from his
lameness quickly induced John to
overcome any abnormal conscious
ness of the defect that had been
brought about by a babyhood seige
of paralysis. His sensitive spirit
expressed itself rather in a deep un-
derstanding Of and kindness toward
people around him.
John grows up and fall in love
with the girl next door. After a few
preliminary complications, every
thing comes out about as you'd ex-
pect. It's rather soothing, though,
to know people like the Chesters,
even if they're only in a book.

Grant at Appomottox
By William E. Brooks. (Bobbs-
Merrill.)
This book. by the author Of Lee
OF Virginia." is study of Gen.
Grant through the Civil War. Its
authors expressed aim has been to
show that Ulysses s. Grant was the
man providentially sent for a certain
emergency and to delineate the
manner in which he developed, step
by step, to meet the emergency's S
demands. Execution Of the plan
flags, however, because Of DR..
Brooks adulatory sentiment where
his hero is concerned. The book
really resolves itself into an ac-
count OF Grants military CAM
paigns. with an obbligato of enthusi-
AStic praise from the author
Since no new material, either as
to the campaigns or to Grant, has
been brought forward. II Is hard to
see the reason for the books COM
position. It viii have to stand rs
ora WORE rewritine Of what has
been done many times before.

Frontier Passage


By Ann Bridge. little,
Bro,Dn.)
This skinfully drawn picture of
the last days of the Spanish Civil
War, by the wife OF British For
eign ONCE official. foreshadows in
an odd way the eventual capitula-
ton of France. Ann Bridge bitterly
assails the French for their treat
ment of refugees from Republican
Spain as we'll as fleeing Spanish SOL
diers. She lays the blame on Paris
officials who wanted to court the
Franco government after the. war,
but hesitated to relinquish the war
material the republican soldier had
brought over the border with them.
The suffering Of the soldiers, penned
behind barbed wire without medical
facilities, sufficient food or shelter,
she has the hero of her novel blame
on "the French combination of in
efficiency and parsimony."
All this, of course, comes toward
the end of the book, after a highly
favored picture OF spies operating
on both sides Of the frontier and
a romance between the most beauti-
full woman in Spain and the jour-
nalist hero. There is also 17-year-
old girl, incredibly mature despite
the fact that, occasionally, the au-
thor tosses her thoughts which a
12-year-old would scorn.
But life on the frontier between
Spain and France was undoubtedly
exciting in the autumn of 1898,
and Miss Bridges knows her setting
we'll. If, occasionally, the romance
becomes unbelievable, it can be
forgiven for never being dull. The
best of the book, however, comes
when Miss Bridges puts romance
aside and gives a factual picture of
the internment camps, and the pro-
cession of refugees with no place
to 60, scenes repeated many times
over when France had to care for
its own rather than its neighbor's
homeless people.
