Final Chapters of
The LowIess Decade
THE YEAR THE WORLD

THE YEAR THE WORLD
WENT MAD, by Allen
Churchill (Crowell; $4.95),
turns back for a colorful look
at 1927.
Actually this was the last
year of what has been called
the Era of Wonderful Nom
sense, the Golden Twenties,
LaWlesS Decade and other
things, although the decade
had two more years to run.
1t was the year before the COL
lapse of stocks, the crash of
Wall Street that was the pre-
lude to the great depression.
Nobody realized it at the
time, but there would never
be a year quite like 1927.
There would be slumps and
recoveries, ups and downs,
war and truce, but nothing

nation and dissolution with
the detachment that the
French have always been
able to bring to the consid-
Grafton Of these matters.
Why derange oneself? 1t is
not a question of what is
right and what is wrong. 1t
Is a question of what works.
Paule is q woman. but above
all a Frenchwoman. The most
provocative aspect of her
rather sad emotional history
is that she regards her af-
fair with Roger, the tired
businessman Of any country,
as one would a bank account.
So much time, so many tears
have been invested. Does one
withdraw ones savings with
out reflection? No.
Mile. Sagan tells her tale
with exactly the lightness Of
touch that it requires. She is
so practiced now. it is like
watching an expert cook with
a souffle. Timing, precision is
everything. 1t has that much
taste and that much sub
stance. 1t is French.

Accountant Goes to Itu|y

THE DIVIDED LADY, by
Bruce Marshall (Houghton
Mifflin; $3.50, is a new novel
by the popular author of
Father Malachy's Miracle"
THE White Rabbit" and
other books.
This is the story of an
expert accountant who is
sent to Italy to rescue an
order of nuns from the al
legged manipulations of a
film producer. The good sis
ters have invested a large
sum with the producer in
anticipation of a film about
a saint which is expected to
reap a good profit for their

AN ALBUM OF MODERN
POETRY: An Anthology
Read by the Poets. Edited
by Oscar Williams. Three
l2-inch LIP records, boxed.
Library Of Congress;
$l3.50D
There are 46 contemporary
English and American poets
here. whose readings of their
own works have already been
avilable at the Library of
Congress; this is the first
anthology in the library's
series of single records by the
poets. About half of these
poems are real gems, which
makes this a very high-grade
anthology indeed. The record
ing varies, but usually is quite
inconspicuous.
If anyone needs to be con-
vinced that poetry must be
heard as we'll as seen, this
album should serve to con-
vince him. The texts of the
poems are supplied, but listen
with the book closed and
poem after poem will take
shape and glow in the mind
poems that, merely seen
with the eye, would never
have got of the page. 1t is
remarkable how the poets
voices fit their poems. Almost
all Of them read well.
The list runs from Robert
Frost, Wallace Stevens and
Marianne Moore to w. R.
Rodgers, Richard Wilbur and
w. S. Merwin. Mr.. Williams
has arranged the poems by
mood or subject. which occa-
sionally makes for a kind Of
sameness. 1t also would be
much easier to find your way
around the records, il blank
bands marked off one poet
from the next.

Model Librury

Children's Librarians are
being trained, in Peru, to
create a pleasant atmosphere
for leisure reading and re-

them who serve as staff for
a model library in Callao, the
port of Lima, a commercial
section well supplied with po-
tential readers.
The Librarians are attrac-
tive young women, well train
ed and enthusiastic about
their jobs. This branch of
the municipal public library
is only two years old, but
already it handles more bus

adults to which it was added.

His car broke down in this
pretty village. and he de-
cided to spend the night,
leaving the car in q shop.
There we're several inns, but
they were all full and a pri-
vate home was recommended
to him. He went there, and
an old man looked him over
carefully, noted his good
clothes and passable man
ners, and said he'd been de-
lighted to entertain the
stranger overnight. No, he
couldn't accept pay, but
Traps would be expected for
dinner.
Held Mock Trials
At the dinner table Traps
found three other very old
men. All except an inn
keeper, who supplied the
wines, were retired lawyers,
and Traps host had been a
judge. They amused them
selves, evening after evening,
with mock trials, drawing on
their experience and making
up legal problems.
This time they had a ma
tural prey. Traps would be
the defendant, and the ex-
judge, of course, would pre-
side; one of the others, a
former prosecutor would press
the charges. while the third
lawyer would defend their
guest. But what would they
charge him with?
A Subtle Crime
Traps himself supplied the
indictment. AS course after

tongue. he told something Of
his life. He recalled how the
former sales manager, whom
he succeeded. died of q heart

prosecutor demanded, mur-

Traps, could get his Job? 1t

Satellite Newspaper

The children's room is in
viting, with bright blue walls
and low tables painted blue
and yellow. It has a separate
entrance from a side street,
with a bulletin board in the
lobby. where the children's
own wall newspaper is
posted. This newspaper called
Our Own Little Satellite"
is only one Of many creative
activities sponsored by the
library.
During the past year, the
children wrote puppet plays
with the encouragement and
guidance Of the library staff
and the Director of the Pup
pet Theatre from the Uni
VeTSlCy. Inc pest plays will
be produced by the children.
One prize-winning play, by
a l3-year-old boy, concerns
a baby boy who plays hockey
from school and fights with
his best friend until he dis
covers that he needs an edu-
cation in order to become a
doctor. The play is short and
snappy, with violent action
and drama in typical puppet
show fashion.
Another activity, open only
to regular patrons of the Ii
brary. is a $50 pm. show on
television, in a separate room
of the entrance lobby. The
day I was there, about 20
rs children trooped in for
