BOOK REVIEW
The World Of Washington Irving By Van Wyck Brooks.
 By Sister St. Hilary

By Sister St. Hilary This is intended as volume
 one of a series on the History
 of American Literature, but was written after the second and third volumes had already been published. It follows the style of The Towering of New
 England, and New England,
 Indian Summer, easy to read, discursive and delightfully."- in
 teresting.
 The book opens with the year 1900, and a description of Parson Weems hawking the
 books published by Mathew Carey about the countryside. Washington had just died, the Federalists and Republicans were at loggerheads, and new comers--emigres from France, immigrants from Scotland, England and Ireland were con-
 tributing a wealth of literary and artistic talent brought from their own native lands.
 Each chapter gives a cross sec-
 tion of political, social, econo- mic, and literary life of the
 people in that particular part of the country. Bryant, Cooper Washington Irving, and a few lothers are given a chapter each to himself. MT. Brooks has garnered together inn umerable items of interest re-
 gardlng even the better known
 authors which one does not
 encounter in the more formal
 histories of literature.
 This is a book not only for a serious student of letters, but will amply repay the casual reader with a wealth of detail and an acquaintance with little known writers who helped to
 enrich the literature of their
 times. It covers the period from 1900 into the eighteen forties, and ends with a dis cussion of the development at this time of science, music, literature and art, preparing
 the way for the second vol ume, The Towering Of New
 England.

 ling the dog to rescue the Ipeople on Mission Road when
 it's too snowy to get through ! with my cab.''.
 { Kodiak apparently isn't the only town in Alaska which people leave, vowing never to return, and then come back to in six months. An item in a recent Wrangell Sentinel tells of a businessman there who sold property after 15 years, and had hopes of settling in the states. He declined to say his plans were sure, however, and added, as departing Ko- diakians do, Those who say they are never coming back always return.
 Those oriental and other fig urines now displayed in Leon- . ards Jewelry store are the work of Betty Ball who clerks at the Log Cabin Liquor Store.
 Betty, who at one time was an art student, buys the plas- ter of paris forms, spends about an hour sanding each one down until the features are clear, and then colors them with lacquer paint.
 Originally, she said, she planned to make them for her own Christmas gifts, but as fast as she finished a pair of figures, someone offered to buy it. Finally, she decided to make other persons Christ mas gifts, and buy the ones she herself would give. Although it has been snow- ing this week, perhaps winter isn't completely here yet, An unidentified local woman is reported to have picked a large pail of blueberries near town last week. ..

There came the momentous day
that Jim placed a very business
like envelope on her plate at din
ner. Anna opened it, expecting the
check for her clothes. Instead it
was her train ticket and sleeping
car reservation. Jim gave a hearty
laugh, "Just wanted you to be sure
you could CO." he told her, well
pleased with himself.
Anna opened her mouth to say
she had known all along a ticket
was required unless she walked,
but how about some money? Then
she decided to wait. The family
would like to think it surprised her.
At least it was comforting to know
they were well able to provide for
her.
From then on every place they
went Jim had her take the long tick
ct from her purse and show it off
Annals smile began to wear thin at
the corners as the family forgot the
check in their pride of her ticket.
Coming home from movie
around the first of July Anna made
big effort to have Jim see new
dress she had noticed in the Bon

But Jim sat down to his news
