Nostrudomus Sees All
By Andre Lamont. w. Fl

by AHUTS LuUtOUL. w. Jul
sham Co., Philadelphia.
The vogue for the writings Of
Nostradamus, 18th century prophet
of current happenings, continues in
this new volume by a wel-known
writer on astrology, with a large
number of the seer's quatrains re-
arranged under historical headings,
according to three periods-the past
up to Sedan, the past 80 years and
the future. So often have the
prophecies been expounded of late
that it hardly seems necessary to
60 into their meaning.
1t can be said for Nostradamus
fans, however, that Mr.. Lamont's
work is we'll organized, and that his
life of the prophet is the most COM
plete that has recently been pub
lished. He brings out the fact
that Nostradamus called Franco
by name (other writers have found
the names of Napoleon and Hitler
in the verses, propheSies that France
will rise under a new king, Henry
v, in 1914, and that the war will
last until 1943 with Germany suf-
fering defeat. NC. r.

House for the Sparrow
By Julia Truitt Yenni. Reynt

By Julia Truitt Yenni. Reynal
,& Hitchcock, Ee,0 York.
While it chronicles the life of an
unconventional family in a small
town, this book is primarily the mir
ror of the reactions of the daughter
of the house and her development
from adolescence into young ma
turity. While she inherits some of
her fathers and grandmothers bril-
lance and ability, these qualities are
tempered by the inheritance from
her mother, which is the gift of the
commonplace, and by the adoles-
cents passionate desire to conform
to the crowd. Like most lives, hers
ends in a compromise which involves
marriage with a very ordinary young
man, but includes a breakaWay from
the bonds of the young mans family.
Many of the incidents are anus
ing, often because they are SO true.
Some are pathetic for the same
reason. The constant conversions
of Sue, the baby of the family, Ger
tainly comes under the former head,
while Clara's long-planned party
and its unhappy denouement come
under the latter head.
This book will make interesting
reading for relaxation.

The Firedroke

By Elgin GroSecloSe. J. B. Lip
pincott e. Co., Ne1o York.
Mrs. Abigail Carfax's prolonged
stay in 10Th century Boston and her
failure to return to her missionary
husband, who is leading dutiful
and peaceful life in Persia, is, ac-
cording to Mr. Groseclose, due to
the power of the Firedrake. This
legendary dragon, which attacked
humans fallen from virtue in me-
dieval times, here is a mystic SYM
Dol of the calamities overtaking the
too successful. 1t is the old story
of the Greek hubris, denounced by
Solon and exemplifed in Aesop's
frog that aspired to be an OK, or OF
the preachers vanity of vanitieS"
In Ecclesiastes.
The Firedrake not only under
mines Mrs. Carfaxs artistic genius
and brings ultimate catastrophe
upon her, but destroys nearly all
the other characters of the novel In
one way or another. The heroine's
flippant daughter and unlucky son
are afflicted. A typical victim is
Fenton Sweyton. ships architect
who attempts the construction of
a clipper too large and too fast to
be either comfortable or safe.
Mr.. Groseclose is a clever, even
enhancing, narrator. But he is so
fascinated by his subject that he
expands its symbolism to be uni
versal and consequently meaningless.
One might say that the author.

by the very thing Of which he writes.

A Time for Silence


Bv Andre Mdurois. Trans
lated from the French by
Edith Johannsen. D. Apple
ton-Century Co., NeU York.
This novelette, deals with the sort
of situation which seems to be for
ever dear to the French writer's
heart-marital relations compli-
Gated by inidelity. 1t presents
seemingly happy and normal French
family, a husband and wife and
daughter, and then proceeds by de-
grees to inform the readers that the
normality is all in appearances.
First, one learns that the daughter
was born before the parents were
married. Then comes the revelation
that she is not the child of her
mothers husband but of previous
lover. The mother supposes that
the secret is hers alone. 1t de-
velops however, that the husband
has known the truth all the time.
When circumstances force recog-
milton Of the fact each goes to a
friend and tells the story and, using
the friend as a go-between, they de-
eide never to mention the matter
to each other. So, as If nothing had
occurred, they settle down to their
old routine.
There are, says Mr.. Maurois, times
when silence Is best. This not
very profound finding Is made IN
terms of one Of the least happy OF
his compositions. NC. r.
