building.
His life is that of a character
istic American life, told with
warmth, color and skill by an
author who writes under pseu-
donym and gives no biographical
information except to say that
THE Townsman" grew out Of
intimate family background and
experiences.
The setting for the novel is
Kansas, where Jonathan was
brought by his family when he
was Is. All of his days he stayed
there, first wa h n.g the
wagons go through as civilization
spread westward, and then see
ing them supplanted by the rail-
roads.
The author rs especially adept
in presenting his characters in a
manner to fit the story. There is
Mary, Jonathan's mother; Judy,
daughter of wandering evan
gelist; Jennet, a red-haired tav-
ern girl; and two pupils-his
brightest one a colored boy; his
favorite one a girl. These two
pupils and Judy were to shape
Jonathan's life.
Covering a period of so years,
the novel has real American
flavor, written with understand
ing and love of the people whose
story it tells.

background of the war with
Mexico in 1846. The Wine of

tains an appealing love story. 1t
is the story of small orphan of
the Alamo who becomes a ward
of General Santa Anna.
The orphan, Massachusetts,
born and Mexican-bred, became
known as Juan Diego after he
had been found crouching be-
hind the battered masonry of a
ruined church by the. famous
Mexican general. He became
an officer in the Mexican army,
fell in love with a pretty Mex
lean girl, and the fortunes of
war brought him face to face as
an enemy with his own brother.
AS a historical novel, it leaves
little to be desired. German is al

the Army, was manager of the
main shop on Connecticut avenue.
The first hairdresser to join the
Army and practice his profession,
Corpl. Beauvais wanted it. made
perfectly clear that he had other
duties besides tinkering with the
coiffures of the Army's lady mem
bers. He enlisted with the And
General Hospital Unit when it was
formed in Baltimore in March, 1912,
and six weeks later was sent to
Australia.
Medical COrpsman.
He enlisted as a medical corps
man, and in the hospital in Aus
tralia where he was on duty, he
took his turn at kitchen police,
ward duties and Office work. But
he comedies that the Army was glad
to get hairdresser at the time.
There's nothing that bucks up
an American woman so much as an
hour in a beauty shop he said.
"The nurses were so glad to get a
good American shampoo again
to let their hair down and get
under a dryer" q
Corpl. Deauvais said it also helped
the patients in the hospital to see
the nurses well groomed. His busi-
ness in the beauty shop that was
set up in the hospital was confined
strictly to serviceWomen, Red Cross
workers and an occasional USO en-
tertainer who happened to drop in.
Yet. he was so rushed that he had
to get an assiStant-an Australian
girl.
Australian women, he said, pretty
we'll follow American fashions, and
the high pompadour "is all the
vogue there now." just as it is here.
CorpI. Beauvais, who is something
of an authority on the way women
look, expressed considerable admir-
alton for Australian girls. They try
to look we'll groomed and neat, even
though their wardrobes are ex-
tremely limited by clothes ration
ing, he said.
Have Good Figures.
They have good figures and good
legs" he added. There are very
few stout women in Australia They
exercise great deal and do a lot
of walking"
Corpl. Beauvais was born in
Washington but was sent to France

when he was six years old. He at
tended schools in Orleans and re-
turned to this, country in 1928. Al
ready holding a degree from the
College of Orleans, he took graduate
work at Franklin Marshall College
in Lancaster, Pa, for year. Then
he returned to Europe, studying
hairdressing in Paris, London and
Berlin for three years. For 10 years
before he enlisted, he was associ-
ated with his father.
When his three week leave ends,
he will go to Asheville, N. c., for a
To-day rest provided by the Army
and assignment to a new post.
After the war, he intends to return
to Washington and take up his pro-
fession of hairdressing where he
left off.
