Only the Valiant
By Charles Marquis Warre1
ncMi71n1

By Charles Marquis Warren.
(MdcMilldn.)
Here is a book written by some
one who knows what he is writing
about, a novel so absorbing and so
authentic in tone that it reads more
like history than most history does.
Yet it does not have that dry and
slightly musty flavor which clings
to most history
1t Is story of the military settling
of the Southwest at the time when
neither TIE East nor the West was
in settled mood The period is
shortly after the Civil War: the
place the Apache country of Arizona;
the personnel bedridden colonel,
a duty-ridden captain and an as
sortment of privates ranging from
a slightly demented Armenian
through deserting Johnny Reb
to a sadistic sergeant. A con-
sumptive lieutenant and his bride
enter the picture. too. Most of the
action takes place at the charred
remains of Fort Invincible. a camp
which could adequately control
mountain pass if it had a water
supply. It's lack of water made its
name a mockery. The second action
there was almost foiled by the same
lack. However, the story ends on
the happy note Of the triumphant
march back to camp, with the
Apache chief a prisoner.
The obviously authentic back
ground Of both geography and his
tory and its psychological studies
make this book as interesting to the
student as it is to the person who
likes a fast-moving plot with lots Of
action. r. r. TAYNTON.

Frances Blackwood went to Eng
land a year ago to write about the
effects of the war upon the English
home, and her correspondence ap-
peared in the Philadelphia Bulletin.
She dined at old manor houses
where the hostesses were doing the
work of 10 servants, at the homes of
'charWOmen many times bombed out
Of their meager quarters, and at
dormitories erected for working

Any American woman reading

ton of material she repays in real

Have you pushed flower garden
Ing into the back of your mind
because of the recent emphasis
on Victory gardens? Even though
the more practical interests of the
gardener are demanding attention,
flower growing does have its peren-
NAL appeal. Beauty continues to
delight us, whatever else may be
our concern.
Flower lovers are interested in
printed suggestions. Even as they
behold the books, ideas will be ar
ranging themselves. Perhaps a bit
OF history of flower gardening will
first prove of interest. In Rosetta
