pale women, Christina was
deliberately drab figure. Ruskin
was unimpressed by her; Swim
burne admired her poetry ex-
travagantly: Browning resented
her challenge to his Elizabeth.
But she apparently cared not at
all. Poetry and prayer were her
preoccupations. Her feeling was
all for her family and for the
rejected suitor whom she kept as
a friend.
Miss Zaturenska calls her study
"a portrait with background" The
background is bit sketchy for
she has assumed too much her
readers knowledge of the birth
and ideals of the pre-Raphaelites.
But the portrait, happily un-
Freudian. fluent if a bit repetitive,
is excellent, made up Of many OBJ
servations from Christmas volu-
BILE contemporaries. Miss Zatu-
renska obviously admires the
artist more than the woman; but
she makes 1t plain that it is
understanding not knowledge

Mr.. Alinsky, once q well-known

Labor Leader Lewis. The book Is
filled with the expressive COM

Mr.. Lewis is so well known, many
of them forgotten in the flood Of
characteristic remarks which ac-

Interior Secretary Krug. Then the
author submerges the human side
of his subject for the "blood and

hills and with the crests and
ridges reserved for forestry, in
cluding parks.

work. Most of it is devoted to
bringing to life the people whose
lives were linked to the river
in Colonial times, in. the early
years of the Republic, in the Ma
tion'S bloody trial, and since,
