to her stamina.
The plot briStles with coin
cidences, such crossings and
re-crossings of paths that one
is tempted to dismiss the
whole thing as a preposterous
mish-mash. 1t does not seem
possible that such great
events could hang by such
slender threads; yet you will
read on in willing suspension
Of disbelief.
The core Of the story is
the exotic family circle of a
misanthropic art-loving Nor
wegian diplomat, who fathers
three daughters. One is half
French and jealous; one is
half Chinese and delightful;
the third is all Norwegian
and fey as a troll. The girls
grow up in the never-never
land of prewar Shanghai
where the white man leads a
charmed existence. unaware
Of the intrigue and danger
being woven around him.
Fitting in and out is the
authors most brilliant char
acter, Count Matsubara, a
member of the japanese Sc
cret police disguised as an
excrutiatingly sensitive tour
list. The bombing Of Shanghai
obliterates the Wergelands'
dreamlike existence.
Before they are happily
united in matrimony and re-
united with each other. the
girls go through hideous vi
cissitudes. They may. as I
say, strain your credulity.
but never your interest. No
miser, Mrs. Eckert-Rotholz
takes us right through the
American occupation of ia
pan, an episode that is nicely
spiced with irony and laced
with home truths about oc-
cupiers and occupied.
We haven't had a book like
this in some time. 1t is a
veritable bout of story-tell-
ing, character-drawing and
lore. The author, despite the
sometimes creaky machinery
of her plot. obviously knows
what she is talking about
and is eminently worth lis
tening to on the whole sub
ject of Westerners in the
Far East.

for his family and his friends

the best. and yet conflicts
beset him, as they often
seem to overtake the finer
characters rather more than
those less worthy.
Back TO Home Town
With the death Of hts wife
(early in the story. Tom de-
cides to leave the town and
asks the railway to transfer
him to his home town. which
he left many years ago. The
railway makes him station
master there, and he moves
with his attractive unmar-
ried daughter. But dark mis-
understanding and bitter dis
illusion await him in the lit
tie town he has dreamed Of
so often.
Mr.. McLaverty's writing
has a lyrical touch. Not all
his characters are admirable,
but many retain the old-fash-
Toned virtues. Yet they are
never priggish, too sanity for
a hard world. They are. aside
from the customs and tradi-
tons of their country, like
people we might meet any
where. often, as in the new
book, there's sadness along
with whimsical humor. but
are not both inherent in the
Celtic nature?
Not for Mr.. McLaverty the
Ireland of some modern Irish
writers--a land of supersti-
tious dolts, oppressed by their
meager economy, bullied by
the clergy. And his people are
real. Many of the others are
caricatures.

Schweig's First

Nannette Schweig's first
solo exhibition in Washing
ton is the largest single-artist
show yet presented at the
Silver Spring Art Gallery,
92l6 Flower avenue, and it
is one Of the few best there
in the past year. Mrs.
Schweig was one Of three
artists who showed groups at
The Artists Mart last April,
and she has participated in
local group exhibitions.
More than 80 oil paint
ings, watercolors, pastels and
graphics at Silver Spring are
nearly all recent work. They
range from traditional por-
traits and figure paintings to
ADMINISTRATIONS. OutStand-
ing in the first group is her
pastel portrait of Willem
Van Luesden. under whom
she studied etching during
three years in the Neither
lands. Other good traditional
portraits include one of her
daughter Gwen at 2 years,
and one of a young colored
girl with still life. Flowers
and still life per Sc are
themes of decorative paint
ings, in warm colors.
Emphasis is on designs Of
ovals and curves in several
figure subjects in oils. such
as Going Shopping" and
even more obviously in a
group Of pen drawings. Girl
Hugging Her Knees" and
others, done with a sure
touch.
Mrs. Schweig. a native Of
New York City, obtained her
B.A. from Hofstra College
there and took a graduate
course at Columbia in art
and creative writing. She
continued to study art in
tensively, under such out
standing artist-instructors as
Frederic Taubes in New York
City and Eliot O'Hara here,
sculpture with John Hovan-
mes, etching with Hans Muel-
Ter. She has received awards
in New York exhibitions, and
is currently conducting pri-
vate classes in her own
studio.
Harmonious frames on
Mrs. Schweig's paintings at
Silver Spring Gallery were
made by her husband, DR..
Noel Schweig, a psychiatrist
who in addition to his pri-
vate practice, is now con-
GLIDING an appointment at
st. Elizabeth's Hospital, and
in July will begin a staff po-
sition in George Washington
University Hospital.
Mrs. Schweig's exhibition
