Time Never Died
While Charles, back at his
country place. was thinking it
over, he met. through a tragic
accident, the three "magi-
Clans" They were Wayland,
an Englishman: Marot, a
Frenchman, and ,Perperek,
from the Balkans, old friends
who met occasionally to talk
things over. On an impulse
Charles invited them to stay
a few days at his place. 1t
soon became apparent that air
of them had unaccountable
powers. He realized this fully
when. under the direction of
one of them, he had a dream
of a day far past. when he was
young, that was too vivid to
be a dream. 1t was, Marot

World War I. The rest Is par
liamentary politics.
He writes with restraint,
even Of Ramsay Macdonald,
who deserted the Labor Party
in what Mr.. Attlee describes
as the greatest betrayal in
British political history.
For Socialist intellectuals
like Harold Laski or extremists
like Aneurin Bevan, Mr.. Att
lee obviously had little SYM
pathy. But he is more than
generous in his estimate of
his great political opponent.
Sir Winston Churchill. In a
striking comparison of the
World War II Prime Minister
with Lloyd George, who
guided Britain through World
War I. Mr.. Attlee finds
Churchill the greater war
leader.
Mr.. Attlee's writing is as re-
strained as his personality. :.
He has no spectacular revela-
tions to make. no ak to grind.
The picture that emerges is
that Of an honest, modest
man who has served his part!

Century Of Dolls

Dolls that little girls have
loved during a century and a
half. and now cherished by
mature women for somewhat
different reasons, compose a
large and absorbingly inter-
esting exhibition in the foyer
of the Natural History build
ing, National Museum, through
tomorrow. Presented by the
Dollology Club of Washington,
it is a show that should not be
missed by any woman who has
ever mothered a doll.
From the standpoint of to-
days little girl, this exhibition
would doubtless seem less at
tractive than the display in
any toy shop. For many of
these old dolls look shabby,
dressed in their original cos
tunes, which provide the in
terested observer with q rec
ord Of time and place. Some
dolls with wax heads have suf-
fered from heat, some have
lost their hair or parts of their
anatomieS.
But as the club says In its
brief but factual leaflet (avail-
able at the museum this is
"a survey of doll types chosen
for their authenticity rather
than for their attractiveneSs."

not follow a reactionary, Fas-
ciSt-type pattern, but oStenSi-
bly, because his name appeared
in a scurrilous book listing al
legged Communists.
Everything is either black
or white in the novel. Those
painted white are, of course,
like Raymond, anti-Commu-
mist, patriotic but hating the
"hySteria" that has gripped
America. It is not long be-
fore Raymond himself is sum-
moned before the O'Brien
committee and accused of
being a Soviet agent, having
been denounced by a woman,
an ex-CommuniSt on whom he
was sweet years ago and
lately has spurned. Mr.. Shirer
might as well have used actual
names, so transparent are his
disguiSes. O'Brien and his
committee are made out in
credibly ignorant. They think
the French Radical-Socialist
party is a leftwing front. All
the business executives and
advertising men portrayed are
refugees from the Mckinley
era if not outright faScists.
The liberals are oppressed
people who hardly dare speak
if they want to hold their jobs.
Raymond's plight is hardly
credible. though he asked for
the deal he got. Certainly
there are some strong New
Deal liberals on the air today;
nobody seems to have sue
ceeded in shutting them of.
Unfortunately Stranger
Come Home" is not much of a
novel. &C. B. j.

This is a vast work; ency-

The fact is, of course, that

q. B. Stern.

G. B. Stern.
(Sheed G. Ward; $2.5O.)
Rather late in life, G. B.
Stern, the famed British nov
ielist. was received into the
Catholic church. At the time
she thought she would never
write about it. but all in good
time she did, and this is the
fascinating story both of her
conversion and her decision
to write about it.
Those who have noted in
Miss Stern's previous auto
biographical works a tone of
hearty. almost school-girlish
enthusiasm, will find the same
thing here. But here it is
tempered by q humility and
candor that makes her brief
account as poignant as any,
thing she has ever written.
Here. too, is the diligent
stringing-together Of trifles.
Miss Stern admits to being an
inveterate pattern monger."

condolences has been made
