for centuries.
In 1883 an English rector named
Timothy Bright published a book
entitled Characterize; an Arte of
Shorte. Swifte, and Secrete Writ
ing by Character
Bright's system consisted of more
than 500 symbols to be used in place
of words.
During the century following do
zens of systems Of shorthand were
offered to the public.
In 1902. when Shakespeare was at
the zenith of his career, the Rev.
John Willis published a shorthand
system under the title: "Arte Of
Stenography.'
At that time shorthand was also
called autobiography" term COM
posed of two Greek words mean
ing short writing"
Some of Shakespeare's plays were
first printed by booksellers and
publishers who sent "brachy-
graphy men" to the galleries of the
playhouse to take down the plays
in shorthand as they were acted.
There is in the British Museum
complete copy of the Bible writ
ten in shorthand in 1888.

Recipe Of The
Week

DoAcH YOUR EGGS and serve
them on corn fritters for a nice
supper dish. You'll like tomato or
mushroom sauce to go over them.
Like an old-fashioned decorated
cake for a change? Try frosting
devils food or white cake with a
heap Of boiled or seven minute ic-
ing, then decorate with stick candy.
Next time you bake gingerbread,
serve It bit differently and see if
the family won't like it! Slice
ripe bananas over the war m
squares and top with sugar-sweet-
ened whipped cream.
Pork chops take on a delicate
flavor when you braise them and
add some pineapple juice and apple
cider as the liquid in which they're
cooked.
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1951-09-22

Fill doughnut holes with marsh
mallows, pop under the broiler and
toast them. This takes only a min
ute or SO, and it's fun for children
parties.
Heat together some honey, cream
and a dash Of cinnamon. You'll
like this sauce on both pancakes
and waff1es for something different.
Nice to serve with chilled tomato
or vegetable juice as first course:
roll small balls of well-seasoned
processed American cheese in graf
ed carrots, then place a small
pretzel stick on top for easy ham
ding.
Dress up that canned applesauce
for desserts: place a mound of
powdered sugar on top of the sauce
in sherbet glass, then decorate
with candied fruits. Another way is
to chill the applesauce, then serve
with melted currant jelly drizzled
ever the top.

Novel Deals With

THE SCARLET SWORD


By H. E. Bates. (Atlantic-Little,
Bro1Un; S3.)
The massacres that followed the
partition of India in 1947 as rival
factions invaded territory sudden
ly denied them form the back
ground of this novel. The scene
Is a Catholic mission in Kashmir
where some 60 persons of various
nationalities have taken refuge.
Pathans and Afridis rush down
out of the mountains, drive out
the Kashmir forces and attack
the mission. An English priest,
a war correspondent and British
colonel are the chief characters.
Father Simpson. who at first ap-
pears weak and futile, develops
heroic qualities under the stress of
the terror. Mr.. Bates knows the
East. The story is exciting, but
1t seems more a melodrama writ
ten to formula than the more
natural development of situation
and character that marked Mr.
Bates short stories and some of
his earlier novels. There is more
than a touch of gruesomeness.

are some highly amusing pages in
1.-THE Disappearance" especially
in the passages describing the
gathering of the all-Woman gov
ernment pro tenn. in Washington
and how the leaders dealt with
the Russian women. Some epi-
sodes are exciting and there are
chapters of suspense. The trouble
is that Mr.. Wylie seems at crucial
moments to lose interest in his
narrative and remember that he
must expound some of his favorite
theories about what's wrong with
us all. There are scenes of dis
aster and cruelty grislier than
anything in George Orwell's
1894" but the story never impels
the belief which that logical pro-
lection of any autocratic govern
ment does. Even a satire must
have degree of plausibility to be
wholly successful. The effects on
the two bereft segments of the
populace WHICH Mr.. Wylie has
imagined are not far-fetched, but
he has not followed these happen
ings through to the point of per-
suasiveness. The story spins out
a number of interesting threads,
but he is liable to drop them and
forget them while his protagonist,
DR.. Gaunt, a philosopher, declaims
at great length.
Heaven knows an overpowering
case can be made out for the fail

triumphs, to solve the most fun

Of Mr.. Wylie's diagnosis and pre-
scription has worn a little scratchy
from repeated playing. When,
for instance, he reiterates his
reflections on the results of sex
suppression, one is tempted to ask,
in these times: What suppression?
He suggests nothing except vague
and esoteric benefits as substitutes
for the Christian faith which he
regards as so harmful. He thinks
people would be more natural,
less twisted and tormented. Per-
haps that's the trouble now-they
are too savagely naturalistic.

New Novelist Turns Out Poetic
IdyI of Welsh Mountain PEOPLE
MOULDED IN EARTH
BY Richard Vaughan. fDutton; s3J

The rugged beauty of the Black
Mountains of Wales is carved in
poetic prose around the quiet,
slowly intensifying drama of this
arresting first novel.
The brooding hills, with their
clamorous streams and reluctantly
yielding farms, are as much a part
of the story as the characters
which the young Welsh novelist
develops with such skill and un-
derstanding.
The Peeles, like other families
of the region, are proud and self
sufficient, their men sineWy and
ready to drink or fight at the most
casual invitation. There has long
been bad blood between them and
their neighbors, the Ellises, who
have a farm a few miles away.
OF course, it would happen that
the youngest Peele son, Edwin,
falls in love with Grett, the Ellis
girl. Haven't such things always
happened to feuding families?
