Faith the Root
Bu Barbara Frances Fleury
(Dutton)

By Barbara Frances Fleury.
(Dutton)
Henry Bellamann's novel, Kings
Row." gives us an excellent picture
of how narrow minded a small
town can be. Now, as if in rebuttal,
Barbara Frances Fleury, a member
of the staff of the writer's confer
ence held yearly at Bread Loaf,
VT, writes an appealing story snow
ing that small-town life is not al
ways narrow-m minded, but often Is
quite the opposite.
The story, told simply, is about
the simple life of small Michigan
water front village, Algonquin. The
spirit of the town is reflected In the
life of it's Catholic priest, Father
Germain-or, as he is better known,
Father Jerry" From the simple
tasks and dreams of the kindly
priest, Miss Fleury has built her
tale. To his church and rectory, a
cross section of the town comes
in a steady procession, from the
newspaper editor and lawyer to the
poor farmer. All have little prob
lens that loom large for the mo-
ment and all put them on Father
Jerry's shoulders. How he solves
them is the core of the story.
The book is a welcome escape
from the perplexities of world at
war-a lucid story of the minor
tragedies and amusing comedies OF
village life, a refreshing bit of read
ing for a quiet summer afternoon

Mud on the Stars
By William Bradford HUE.

By W1LEQW 6TUuJOTu HUIes
(FiScher.)
This novel has too obviously been
written to state a case. Its author
has had the idea of setting forth
the evolution of a Southern planter
of feudal tradition into what we
may call, sociologically speaking, a
modern man-the evolution to take
place under the impact of the social
and political changes of the last 10
years. He has, for this end, given
us a hero whose youth is spent on
sharecropping estate of the more
benevolent model, and has then
taken this hero through a series of
conflicts in which his inherited in
dividualistic attitude is pitted
against the mass tendency of the
time.
For instance, he places the hero's
sharecropping estate in the area
which is flooded by the Tennessee
Valley Authority dam, and has his
young man forced into selling to
the Government the acres which
have been his family's since Revo-
lutionary times.
He ends it with the young man
approving the new methods, as Of
fering solutions for problems which
had become too heavy for the old
type landowners to solve themselves.
But his novel is very plainly an
argument. He twists his material
around to cover all the factors
which he considers important, and
his human material gets pretty
badly stretched in the process.
AS if to cover up the glaring ide-
illogical nature of his work, Mr.
HUE has adopted the rough tough
style of writing. He uses the short
sentence and the four letter word
to something approaching safety
He has felt, apparently, that if he
was rowdy enough in his vocabu-
larry, he could make his people live
He would have done better to have
written an essay. But essays, these
days, are much harder to write
than rough-tough short-sentence
novels. NC. r.

Books for Music Lovers
By Catherine z. NimifS,
Chief, Music Division, Public Library.

Variety Is the keynote OF Wash
ington's musical bill-of-fare this
summer. For once the eager listener
finds himself in the delightful
dilemma Of having to choose from
among many attractions. There are
orchestral concerts at the Water
Gate by the National Symphony,
band concerts at the Capitol and
the Sylvan Theater by the top
notch service bands, outdoor cham
ber music recitals at Dumbarton
Oaks and Meridian Hill Park, op-
eras at the Water Gate and recorded
music concerts at the YWCA and
the Jewish Community Center.
From group of recent books the
music division of the Public Library,
Eighth and K streets NV, sug-
gests some titles which may be OF
interest and value to this summers S
potential concert-goers.
The publishing season has been
rich in musical biographies. Opera

Lincoln Among His Friends
Edited by Rufus RockU'

Edited By Rufus RockUeH
Wilson. (CaItonJ
This is a collection of 81 papers
written about Lincoln by his con-
temporaries. All have had previous
publication. They range from the
personal "reminiscences of Dennis
Hanks of his boyhood in the Lin
coin home to the newspaper articles
of such journalists as Henry Willard
and Horace Greely. Although all
purport to come from personal &C
ouaintance, they are contradictory
on many points. But, summed up,
the volume offers a valuable col
lection. One could wish that the
editor had included the late Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes inimitable
story of his experience as a young
Army officer when the President
visited his trench and incautiously
stretched himself to his great
height, thereby providing Confed-
crate snipers with splendid target.
buL UIle pIUl l!SlOll VI bilAScAii AAAN
terial must have baff1ed the col
lector on many points.
Disagreement between the diff
ferent authors about Lincoln CEN
ters chiefly on the martyred Presl-
dents appearance and tempera-
ment. Some insist that he was
untidy in his dress to painful
degree; others say that he was
always well dressed. Again, some
claim that he had melancholy
about him which was positively
perceptible and others speak OF him
as cheerful and laugh-loving. Some
found him ugly of countenance
others protest that they were in
spired by the nobility of his face,
which expressed great spiritual
beauty. And so on. The WORK
deserves a place in Lincolnlana.
