Reading THE Great Ones" Ralph
Ingersoll's first novel is . little like

to listen to all the dreary spiteful
details and you never feel that you're

everything he thinks he knows about
the home life of q Manhattan pub
fishing emperor who is the head of
magazine called Facts: The Know

what Is supposed to be the great
fun in this "wait-till-I-tell-you"
school Of fiction by coyly attempting
to throw the reader of the track
of the true identity of his subjects.
He introduces as themselves such
characters as Henry Luce, Glare

of the New Yorker. and even him.

TWO QUIET LIVES

BY Lord David Cecil. (Bobbs-
Merrill So
1t is Lord David Cecil's special
endowment as a biographer that he
can illuminate the inner lives of his
subjects while not betraying any o1
their reticences. This inspired good
taste, which was a dominant quail
ity in the lives he is describing here
permeates his delicate analysis OF
these two sensitive souls who lived
a century apart and had in common
a quivering responsiveness and a
fear of life "engendered by too early
an acquaintance with its power to
hurt" Both Dorothy Osbourne and
Thomas Gray aroused his admira-
ton and sympathy and his exqui-
site rendering of their personalities
against their different ages should
crafty many reader who is weary
of the stridency of much of present.
day living and writing.
Dorothy Osbourne was Caroline
aristocrat, author of enchanting
love letters to William Temple, who
courted her for eight years. Hers
was an ardent spirit, made for love,
but the misfortunes which had be-
fallen her family during England S
civil war had deepened a natural
melancholy to a certainty of life's
harshness and the folly of hope.
Her time was one when talk was all
of love and romance, although mar
riage was strictly matter OF busi-
ness. 1t was further time which
combined "naivete with ceremoni-
ousness," and in writing to Temple
whom she loved on sight, she pre-
served every finest nuance of for
mality and correctness. Dorothy's
bruised nerves, her biographer
thinks, required conformity to con-
vention," and it seems never to have
occurred to her to override her i'm
Fortunate famiy's objections to
Temple. She was almost eagerly
resigned to the hopelessness of their
love. Their eventual marriage,
which was happy, lulled her suspi-
cions, but the loss of all but one OF
her six children at birth, and the
suicide of her only surviving son
reaffirmed her youthful pessimism.
Marked for Hermit's Life.
Thomas Gray's distrust of the
world was even more pronounced
The author of "Elegy in a Country
Churchyard" spent his happiest
days as student at Eton, where
his deep need of love was fulfilled
in the affectionate comradeship o1
congenial boys. After a continen-
tai tour with Horace Walpole, which
ended disastrously, Gray, who was
born middle-aged" being affronteo
by "dragonf1y" Walpole's endless
socializing, he withdrew into the
shelter of the academic life Of Cam.
bridge. Here he fretted over his
health, brooded over the sights oi
exuberant undergraduates and cul.
tivated his excellent mind with the
study Of variety Of subjects. Ir
good taste and good sense, Gray's
passionate sensibility to any man.
Iifestations of beauty and romance
set him apart and marked him fol
the hermit's existence.
Cecil admits the primness of Gray
the loneliness of both his subjects
and yet by his marvelously gentle
handling of these two damaged
souls he is able to bring to light the
unusual fineness of nature which re-
suited in their rich inner lives and
their elegant writing. His style is
felicity itself, being SO perfectly
adapted to his thought that one Is
never conscious of 1t, which Is Its
greatest excellence. M. Meg.

munity needs. He remarked that
thinking has now reached the
point where local needs must also
be met. Perhaps in time we can
include in one drive groups such
as Hadassah, ZOA and certain
youth groups, Jewish education
and the like"
On public relations Mr.. Bran
des said, "It is not enough to plug
up a hole called an 'anti-Semitlc
incident through public schools
and radio-with our own peo-
pie" He maintained that adults,
too, need a center, a center OF
Jewish life.
He dwelled at some length on
the newcomer. No longer is he
given the "bum's rush" Business
opportunities are becoming limit
ed. He continued: Somehow the
older element must reorient its
thinking, must accept the respon-
sibility and offer leaderShip-ex-
tend a hand of welcome to these
newcomers.
He considers it an unWarranted
fear to regard secular growth of
the Jewish community as de-
crease in the strength and influ-
ence of the Synagogue. The very
functioning of YMHAs and other
centers demonstrate a central in
terest in Jewish spiritual and cul-
tural life. "There must be one
common meeting ground where
all Jews-of any faith or no faith
can meet together"
William Davidson spoke on the
