CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Mrs. Doody was a tiny wren, a
minister's widow, and an old friend
OF Daphne. There were many things
TO speak Of before Kate Dennison
asked if Miss Webster, the school
teacher, was still living with her.
Daphne was quick to see that her
opportunity had come when Mrs.
Doody said that Miss Webster had
resigned after "a sick spell" ana
gone to live with her sister.
She never caused me a moment :
trouble" Mrs Doody declared, "un-
III size got sick, and then It was wait
on her day and night"
Daphne remarked eagerly, That
must have been during the time you
had the doctor staying with you "
No, dearie, he wasn't here then.
DR.. Fenwick didn't come until

when the Institute opened"

By Bread Alone
By Betty de Sherbinin. IN

By Betty de Sherbinin. (Mor-
rotD; $780,
Betty de Sherbinin is a young
novelist of Russian and Canadian
parentage and cosmopolitan back
ground. OF the many countries in
which she has lived, Argentina is
one which has had her longest
period of residence. She spent nine
years there-and since 1941 she has
been writing on Argentinian sub
jects, having produced two novels
which have that land as a back
ground. Her present book is of the
same derivation. 1t has its scene in
Buenos Aires. But it deals with
Argentina more in the sense of the
country's international relations
than of its domestic existence. 1t is
a story. of rival German and Allied
efforts to gain influence in Argen-
tinian politics during the year .1943.
The Political Picture.
Since the book is a novel, the
political picture is necessarily
painted in terms of personal rela-
tionships. 1t is evident, however,
that the characters are meant to be
typical of forces.
We have, in the most conspicuous
place, a Dutch financier who in
order to get his capital out of the
European continent, has an agree
ment with the Nazis to work for
them in Argentina.
We have also an American who
typifies the selfish side Of the iso-
lationist outlook; he has been dis
illusioned by his experiences as a
republican volunteer in the Spanish
war and has decided henceforth to
devote himself to looking after his
own fortunes.
There is, too, a young man who
stands as an example of the wealthy
native Fascists and an american
woman who has married a German
only to learn that he is a Nazi
agent.
The personal lives and loves of
these men and women tangle in q
sufficiently natural way but never
does the personal element obscure
the fact that the author is writing
about international relations rather
than about people.
In a time when abruptness of
style has become a commonplace
| there is 1ISlIa11v no p0ipt in mon
tioning that a particular author
as an abrupt manner. Miss de
Sherbinin's abruptness, however
has something unique about it, q
definitely foreign flavor. Her point
of view is that, when a nation
ceases to be willing to fight, ii
has lost its soul and even peace is
no good TO it.

Balkan Background
By Bernard Ne1Dmdn. Mac.
milan. S2.5O.l

~ bernard Ne10mGn. mac
milan; $780,
The theme of this new book on
the Balkan problem is that after
the war the Balkans must be turned
into a federation and freed from
the political pressuring by the great
powers which, in the authors view,
has made them the source of wars
in the past.
Most of the volume is given up to
studies, historical and social, of the
different Balkan nations, made
with the aim of demonstrating that
no continuance of the old system
can hold out any hope of solving
the perennial Balkan puzzle.
The federation will have diff

The ExiIe's DAUGHTER
By Cornelia Spencer. (Co,Uar

BY C0rnetid Spencer. (C0l0arG
Mccain: $780,
This is a biography of Pearl S
Buck, the novelist. 1t obviously has
been composed out of a spirit OF
unquestioning admiration, which
makes it something less than perfect
as biography, and it is not criticism
either. 1t tells us that Mrs. Buck
is great woman, a great soul, a
great artist and beautiful Even If
you agree, you can hardly feel that
an authorized biography has done
its job with SO much.
l will object, however, to the
finding on one count anyway.
That is the estimate of Mrs. Buck
as an artist. She has written three
unquestionably very fine books
The Good Earth" and the biog-
raphies of her parents, THE Exile"
and Fighting Angel" Three very
fine books is great deal; three very
fine books could establish an au-
thor as an artist. Beside the total
volume of Mrs. Bucks work, how
ever, the three show very small,
and the rest of the volume is of
mediocre quality.
AS for the other greatneSses which
Cornelia Spencer attributes to her,
I do not know enough to raise a
question. But I am reasonably sure
that biography should do more
than coo over its subject. NC. R,
