A Pathetic Romance
By Elizabeth Taylor
A GAME OF HIDE-AND- SEEK

IA GAME OF HIDE-AND-SEEK
BY Elizabeth Taylor. (Altred A.
Knopt, lnc.;; $3.J
Elizabeth Taylor, the charming
English novelist, bears out Sean
O'Faolain's contention that writ
ing Is often much a matter Of
personality. Miss Taylor. in this
story of a childhood romance that
persisted into middle age is some
times inconclusive, sometimes
vague to the point of wispiness.
She skips around in her char
acter's minds wantonly. But she
has great and undeniable charm
and her book has moments of
humor and poignancy and subtle
understanding that make it worth
half a dozen more pretentious VOL
umeS.
The thing about Miss Taylor is
that she is always trying to play
down her characters. to minimize
their emotion. Harriet, her present
heroine. Is much given to weeping.
"She does have rather sniveling
ways" her husband reflects coolly
in one Of the few times his devo-
ton lags. And Vesey, her girl
hoods hero whom she cannot
stop loving, is not so much, nor
does Miss Taylor attempt to make
him OF any great consequence.
Their romance is pathetic. rather
than tragic.
"All that makes life worth liv-
ing Is that we are completely diff
ferent from one another. Miss
Taylor does not miss a shade of
that difference.

On this Introductory note OF

launch into a 300-page summary
Of what they say they found in
their investigation Of Washington
It is a compendium of truth,
distortion and inaccuracy which
would make the average busybody

Sidney Herbert, her greatest friend

ably and mourned inconsolably.
Always she worked best with men.
She found women inclined too

She couldn't even get one to be
her secretary. Her vast documents
were all written by her own hand.
Her later years showed some
bunting of her great drive, some
mellowing of her sharp tongue, al
though she could always turn a
pungent phrase. She grew quite
sentimental in dealing with her
student nurses-whose profession
she had made q vocation. Unlike
some reformers. she had no sterile
high -mindedness. Despite her
genius she was all too human. She
could be most amusingly vindic-
tive, and she loved babies and

AMERICANS IN GLASS HOUSES
BY Leslie James. (Schuman; ST.
The pseudonymous author has
written a potent satire on the
book the average European writes
about the United States after a

British simply because 1t has al

In America "the more modern
drugstores have swimming pools
and ski Jumps" Americans never
converse" they only talk. If they
really conversed. they might
realize how unhappy they were
and they might decide to with
draw from their suffocating
economic wealth into an ordered
and planned austerity." An
American best-seller is at least
1000 pages long, mo other book
being eligible" mo little truth
in thatD This book is amusing
and sometimes hilarious. No doubt
it was intended to discourage
future critiques on the United

A Poets Spiritual
Pilgrimage Yields
A Rare First Novel
FOLLOW ME EVER

FOLLOW ME EVER
BY Charles E. Butler. pantheon; !;
$780,
An even deeper hue of poetry
than in "The Islanders" colors
this brief novel, though it is more
mystical. So far as there is a
story, it concerns GI at an air.
base in England during the war.
John Ellis is seen only through the
memory of another soldier, who
looks across the several years and
tries to patch together from frag-
mentary evidence what happened.
A strange thing happened to Ellis,
too fantastic for his commanding
officer and the medical captain to
believe, despite the testimony of
at least two credible witnesses
and the implicit belief of the
chaplain. This debated occurrence
was reported shortly before Ellis
was transferred to the infantry
and sent across the Channel to
fight.
The whole short novel is poem
in prose. This is Mr.. Buffers first
novel, and after reading it no one
should be surprised to learn from
the books jacket that a collection
of his poetry was put out by the
Yale Press a few years ago. Fol
low Me Ever" is a spiritual pill
grimage, in which the narrator
treads uncertainty a path made
elusive by the mists of experiences
felt rather than seen. His halting
recollections are set down with a
haunting loveliness.
This memory, as frail and as
little understood as dream, could
come out of war as surely as
the matter f-fact, unimaginative
reports we have read in so many
hard-boiled books. The war was
not all clash of primitive emo
tions. The talk was not all
savagely profane and obscene, and
thoughts sometimes went beyond
Immediately physical demands.
There were-there must have
been-men who, like Ellis and his
chronicler, knew there was a
world vaguely heard in music,
dimly glimpsed in mountains and
ocean. evoked sometimes by a
prayer.

Among the Friends
.Of Villa Gather
THE WORLD OF
VILLA GATHER

BY Mildred r. Bennett. (Dodd
Mead; $780,
Mrs. Bennett was a school
teacher in a small Nebraska town
and later went to live in Villa
Gathers home town of Red Cloud.
She came to know many persons
who knew Miss Gather. a number
of them obviously prototypes fol-
character in her books. Mrs. Ben
nett has written not a biography
or a critical appraisal, but a story
of Miss Gathers background and
early friends. something of the
contacts she made later in life
and the persons and environments
which most influenced her novels
Miss Gather was born near Win
chester, Va, in 1873, and when
she was 9 her parents moved to
Nebraska, where relatives had
preceded them. Some of her most
famous books. such as MY An
tonia" and 20 Pioneers" grew out
of her Nebraska youth. Mrs. Ben
nett's book carries out well what
she set out to do.
