DAYS OF PLENTY, by
Elizabeth Fenwick CHarcourt,
Brace; $3.50, is a close-to-
earth study of four persons
involved individually and mu-
tually in a fight against some
peculiarities of fate.
The novel is especially con-
cerned with 14-year-old Dana,
a girl with a keen mind, a
perception beyond her years.
Her mother. Muriel, was de-
serted by her husband years
before. Spending the summer
with mother and daughter at
a place in the mountains is
a devoted friend, an older
woman. BesS. And appearing
for the weekends is Eddie, who
has loved Muriel for a long
time. but is fed up with her
continued procrastination, her
inability to make up her mind
what to do about a divorce
or their situation.
Writes Deity
Muriel's husband was the il
legitimate son of a railroad
magnate. The old man, not
hankering to know his sons
wife. but disturbed over his
sons conduct, salves his con-
science by arranging to meet
his granddaughter, little Dana,
once a week for lunch. He gives
her stable sums and wants to
educate her. Her mother,
angry because the old man has
Snubbed her, wants to end the
relationship. She and Eddie
and Bess quarrel over the
whole situation. The decision
which Muriel and Eddie reach
brings the story to a climax.
Miss Fenwick writes deity,
turns out recognizable char
acters. But she has presented
this story, especially in the
early part, in an oblique way
that is sometimes confusing.

Graham Belden and Marva
Robins Belden, didn't craftily
plan for a campaign-year re-
lease of their joint effort. In
fact, they often wondered if it
would ever see the light of
print.
A Strange Trio
Their three-panel biography
of one of the strangest trios
in American history began as
a doctors dissertation by Mr..
Belden, who was studying at
the University of Chicago. 1t
was there he met the future
Mrs. Belden, a student of po-
litical science. He spent seven
months of solo effort at the
Library of Congress trying to
unravel the strange story of
father, daughter and son-in-
law.
Several professors urged him
to transform his dissertation
into a popular study. Mrs.
Belden had by that time joined
the team, and together they
found that this was more
easily said than done.
Now in Georgetown
The difference between aca-
demic and non-academic writ
ing seems to be that between
efficiency and charm. The
young Beldens, who recently
transplanted themselves and
their 4-months-old daughter
Linda from Sandy Spring to
Georgetown, spent several
years struggling to get the
smell of the lamp out of the
manuscript.
Imagery eluded them. In an
effort to embelliSh almost en-
barraSSingly rich material-the
Chase story has everything
they would wander into by
paths of irrelevancy.
During the worst of the
struggle. Mr.. Belden, who was
in the Air Force at the time,
would come home to inspect
the prose of Mrs. Belden, who
had spent eight hours a day
trying to write unacademic
prose. Together they would
sadly contemplate her Schol-
arly work and then tear it up.
1T was a painful process,
says Mrs. Belden, but we
feel we have done our appren-
ticeship."
Every Human Frailty
In addition to a weller of
material that embraced practi-
cally every human frailty from
treason to adultery and rang
in a host of characters from
Lincoln to Jay Cooke, their
study presented a particular
problem in the person of Kate
Chase Sprague.
Cropping for a comparable
character in the modern scene,
Mrs. Belden named Clare
Boothe Luce and Grace Kelly,
just for a start.
1.-The glamour of the day
was focused on the political
scene. Hates manners and
clothes were studied the way
a movie queens would be to-
day." she explains.
A Great Strategist
"She was Also" amends Mr..
Belden. "a great strategist,
wiser than her father"
A volcano with a veneer was
about as near as they can get
to describing Kate, who was a
dream girl in the drawing
room, but holy terror at the
hearthside. Her obsessive love

PerImutter
Makes Civ
His Theme
ART NEWS
By FLORENCE BERGMAN

JACK Berlmutter loves the
city, particularly New York,
his native city, and makes its
many facets the theme of his
paintings and Autographs.
Twenty-nine of his recent
works in these media are on
view through September at the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, the
25th one-man show in its
Contemporary American Art
lists Series. Introductory biog-
raphical and factual articles
were published in The Stars
magazine and news columns in
May.
Mr.. Perlmutter, who has
made Washington his home
since 1912. has always loved
the city. In earlier years, his
paintings and prints were
modern. but more representa-
tional, dynamic interpretations
with slashing diagonals in line
and composition, soaring verti-
Gals, striking and contrasting
colorS.
More recently, his work,
particularly his painting, has
become increasingly abstract
and expressionistic. But the
qualities that distinguished it
in the 1940s are still here.
Construction" for example,
is a pattern of vertical, hori-
zontal and diagonal lines Of
the steel skeleton on a back
ground of rich color. Swoop-
ing tracks and explosive forms
I'm the Subway" communicate
the feeling of speed. Akin to
this is Ride the Front Car"
in which the viewer gets a
kaleidoscope of colors as build
ings flash by, a familiar sensa-
ton to those of us who used
to maneuver for this box
seat" at the show.
In Different Media
Hung near the painting is
Mr.. Perlmutter's Autograph of
the same subject. Ride the
Front Car" a good juxtaposi-
ton for the layman, who can
see how the artist handles it in
two different media. There is
another pair of works. although
they are not so similar-hiS
colorful animated semi-ab-
stract painting "CarouSel"
whose worn and shabby horses
will soon go the way of the Big
Top, and his Autograph, Ell
lens Merry-Go-R with
soft warm colors and primitive
steeds. ELLEN is one of his
daughters
Mr.. Perlmutter's knowledge
and love of the city is complete
and he interpretS it from
small details to impressive
architectural panorama. A
theme on which he has painted
variations in recent years. is
the stretch of city across a
river. which reflects it in
heightened, distorted wet"
forms. He has carried out the
reflection motif in other in
stances-"Freight Cars" and
streets in Slippery When
Wet" Mr. Perlmutter likes
cities and water-he says as
much in his brief, ambiguous
foreword He also appreciates
the sea near fishing villages,
and among other captures in
the show. gives a poetic glimpse
in his Autograph Tide" done
with economy of line and eff
fective use of space.
To all Of us who prefer the
city, who would rather pound
concrete pavements than walk
a country road. to whom the
sun rising over chimney pots
on the roofs across the alley is
more satisfying than the most
beautiful dawn over a noun
tain lake, Jack Perlmutter's
exhibition has appeal, as it has
on eSthetic levels. to all who
appreciate good painting and
fine printmaking.
