The bride is the daughter of Mr..

y
of Christmas advertising have
seized upon the popularity of the
book 81 am Thinking of My Darl-
ing? Not a day passes that we do
not see eff Thinking of your darl-
ing buy her lingerie for Christmas"
or something similar.
The book is a realistic and irrev-
erent fantasy of what happens in
New York when the city is struck
by wonderful virus malady which
makes body temperatures go up
several degrees-its victims do ex-
actly what they have always want
ed to do!
We have found that one of the
compensations of a long GONZALES
sense is catching up on ones read
ing-a years back numbers of The
Readers Digest furnished material
for the first two weeks-not heavy
either to hold Or to read, amusing
and educational.
Then we read several thin books
Alice Hostetler sent US "Amer-
lean Reasons" by Bonaro W. Over
street, "to help crystalize your
thinking she wrote.
1t contains six blank verse poems
entitled: "A Soldier l Met on a
Train Said;" "a Young Soldiers
Wife Said"; "a Business Execu-
tive Said"; "A Woman At Work in
Her Kitchen Said"; "A Negro
Soldier Said" and "a Writer Said".
H. less than fifty pages American
Reasons" sums up what We are
fighting for.
By the way did we not read re-
Gently that Mr.. Hostetler had join
ed the Potomac Band and is now
"tooting the flute, or something?
Back to our reading, from which
we hope you may get suggestion
for last minute Christmas gift
we found Louis Bromfield's latest
book, "Mrs. Parkington", more en-
tertaining, less sexy and sorid than
mis- usual run.
The best novel we have read in
many years is "A Tree Grows In
Brooklyn" story Of the New York
slums, by young writer, Miss
Betty Smith. The book, which is
her first, gets its name from tree.
peculiar to Brooklyn, called tree
of Heaven-Wherever its seed falls
II makes a tree which struggles
to reach the sky-in boarded up
lots-out of neglected rubbish
heaps-from cellar gratings. Said
to be the only tree that grows out
of cement-it lushly survives with
out sun, water, and seemingly with
out earth, beautiful-but too many
of them. Miss Smith has her slum
family reaching out and upward
toward education, freedom and ac-
complishment in much the same
manner.
Then of course We read "Our
Hearts We're Young and Cav" bv
Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily
Kimbrough, and the latter's eve
Followed Our Hearts To Holly
wood. Best of all was an old scrap
book with articles collected from
1890 to 1914. From It we be-
came acquainted with casual OBJ

If YOU do.
