A A'Literory' Effort
CLOUDY TROPHIES
By Anne Good,Din WinsloD

By Anne Go0diDtn WtnsIotD.
(Knopt; $780,
Anne Goodwin Winslow has
written some good books in the past,
distinguishing herself for sensitive
delineation of delicate emotional
situations. Her present novel, how
ever, seems pointless. Her public will
probably find it disappointing. It
has virtually no story and its char
acters are the vaguest Of figures.
In scene the book is divided be-
tween Washington and a plantation
in the Deep South. The time is
President Cleveland's second admin
istration. A Southern Senator and
his wife are the main characters
insofar as there are any characters
in the work at all. They have a house
on H street near Lafayette Square
and live exquisitely, though with
well-repressed sorrow for the death
by drowning few years earlier OF
their little son.
Nothing ever happens. The wife
experiments with spiritualistic
seances under the mediumship of q
lady from the British Embassy. The
lady is In love with the Senator but
the Senator is pure-hearted beyond
any temptation, so the lady goes of
to China with her passion unre-
Quilted. That takes her out of the
plot and the wife, on whom the
central interest has been focused,
is abruptly killed of by a dose of
sleeping medicine. The Senator then
becomes the main character.
But still nothing happens. A young
cousin of the wife falls in love with
him but, says Mrs. Winslow, the
time for that had never come-and
was already past" So the young
cousin goes off too-she to Europe.
Mrs. Winslow's talent for delicate
vivid description is apparent in the
work at times, but not consistently
The books gives one the impression
that it was written over long period
Of time with no effort at continuity
and not even much memory of what
had: gone before, from one writing
session to the next.

Here's a book that will give you
a good idea of a newspaperman's
kaleidoscope. day-to-day job.
Joseph Mackey is newspaper
man with the feature" touch. In
this book he has culled, from 10
years as a human-interest reporter
on the New York Sun, a zany collec-
ton of his wackiest experiences.
If his stories are somewhat more
daffy and his subjects less normal
than come the way of the average
reporter. it's because Mr.. Mackey
is the Suns nut editor"-the man
who draws the assignments to probe
into the absurd interests and activi-
ties of New York's crackpot fringe.
When he could tear himself away
from chronicling the latest exploit
of "Mr. First" whose hobby was
being the first to cross a bridge, or
explaining tailor's scheme to build
an aluminium, transatlantic tunnel
1000 feet beneath the sea, Mr.
Mackey had time to welcome visit
ing movie stars, interview an FL
eanor Roosevelt or a Clare Booth
Luce, and take care of. variety Of
everyday assignments.
But mostly he concentrated on
those persons abounding in New
York and everywhere whose perma-
nent or temporary deviations from
normal conduct astound or amuse
us.
Many of these folks haunt news
paper Offices - "the persons with
great secrets, whose leitmotif, ex-
pressed with whispers and furtive
glances, is don't tell nobody and
megalomaniacs with stories they
want blazoned to the world"
If Mr.. Mackey has any sympathy
for such unfortunate people he
doesn't show it. When a sick man
who believes he's the only person
who can telephone any place in
the world without a telephone
comes in, Mr.. Mackey extracts from
his story all the amusement it Of
fers, and lets it go at that. That's
his professional attitude, of course.
AS human being he may be as
sorry for such people as any one
else.

book, "All for the Best" which is his
fourth novel, and fine friend. But
before we tell you about his nlisfor-
tune, let's talk about Bill.
!. He was born just in time to be a
nuisance when the First World War
was breaking out in Europe. This
meant he was in the college educa-
tion stage when the depression made
almost anything anybody wished to
do out of the question. He had al
ways wanted to write, and he had.
but never continuously enough.
Louis Adamic encountered him once
and after talking about writing, said,
Words. possess you, but one day
you will possess words" Until then,
he advised him to 60 out in the
world and do something-anythipg-
which would mean experience. What
he did was to work in bookstores in
Chicago, Detroit. Cleveland and New
York. Meantime, he wrote two
novels, both shelved. Another was
published in small way five years
ago. Then came the Navy.
Bill is now 80 and walks with the
aid of two stout canes. He is dark
haired and white-skinned. slender
and actually graceful rather than
awkward with this limited locomo-
ton. A little black mustache makes
him look almost dapper.
The canes are, in their way.

when with the Navy in Italy. He

the Kenney treatment right away.
Then when I was flown back to
Washington, they sent me to Warm

1t was in Warm Springs that he
met Alain Darlan, the French Ad-
miral Darlan's son who had also
been stricken in Italy, and flown
here and treated at Warm Springs
Oddly, both boys had been educated
by the same brotherhood and this
gave them one more thing in COM
mon. It is said that Alain Darlan
did not recover as did his friend Bill,
for Bill walked to the dinner table
on Christmas Day just five months
after the polio hit him. Two months
later he was discharged. "All for

day, was started in April OF last
year and finished a few months
later. It is a satire which he calls
a modern "Candide," since that book
