Book& of the H011r B~ Eatlter Go.W New York is still the same energetically dazzling city. - Ford Madox Ford is still insisting that 'New York is not America"-a statement that meets with no contradiction since no one is conscious of havmg ever said that it was-and still giving farewell parties and then turning up the next week. Isa Glenn is serving tea charmingly and declaring that cooking is the proper avocation of a writer-cooking without a recipe that is-since "there are no ·words in it" and backing up her theory with Elinor Wylie's experience. Louis Bromfield is preparing to sail precipitously for France where a modest little apartment with six bedrooms will help to recoup an America-riddled fortune. And everyone is saying that he is awfully tired of "wondering what a certain old trader thinks when the postman brings him l!is morning check for $5,000." This last is undoubtedly only jealousy, however. · Disraeli Andre MIIUrou Appleton ·············· S).oo The Blessing of .Pan Lord Dunltlnfl Putnam ···.··.········ S :z.oo The Clock Strikes Two H mrg Kitchell Wewter Bobbs-Merrill ··········· S:z.oo DIE END OF IT "SOUTHERN CHARM" By laa Glenn Alfred A.

Phillip· Oppenheim Little, Brown g Co. ~ ····· $2.00 It is the new tradition in southern books to break up the old tradition which earlier southern books have so painstakingly built up. It is a good sign and shows as all revolutions .do ~how, new blood. Miss Isa Glenn is coming to the fore as one of the most able of these revolutionists. In her new book, "Southern Charm," she has made the ·most devastating case for the far-famed charm o~ southern womanhood. Following .the new dramatic method of novel-writing which plunges the reader directly into an important moment and from that vantage point allows him to look back into the past and forward into the future, Miss Glenn gives us a crowded twenty-four hours of a charming southern woman's life. Mrs. Haber. sham brought up her two daughters in what was to her the most approved style. She taught them that to be pretty and innocent and charming w.as everything since their only possible careers in life would consist in by this method keeping the She upper hand over some man. taught them this and nothing else. So years before, Laura, the wayward daughter, who had not "gotten . her figure down" as had her older Sister. Alice May, and therefore could not expect to be attractive to men, had gone astray and had an illegitimate child. Her mother leaving her in Romr where this regretable incident hacl happened announces to her relations that she has died of the fever. Twenty years later in New York City Mrs. Habersham and the docile daughter, A~ice May, ru.n acr?ss Laura. They have a dramatiC meetmg in which . without illusions they look at each other and themselves. Then, the shock over, they each go back to their way of life, but slightly changed. B~ Ala-. L WWt.ack The Wilmette Public library has added two books to its collection, that your mouth waters to read, and your heart aches to try, for they are on Frer ch cooking! Claire de Pratz. in "Frencb Home Cooking," has selected for the most part family recipes, characteristic dishes from all sections of the country, the warm south, the northern coast, the cities, and the homes of the peasants . . . Many of her recipes have been used for generations . . . and have been copied from small hand-written cook-books handed down as precious heirlooms in French families, and lent only as a ·g reat personal favor, with fervent admonitions for their safekeeping~ This is the cook-book of the something different that is inexpensive. The housewife will find suggestions for seasoning all combinations of food. "Colette's Best Recipes" by Marie Jacques is full of the ways a French cook uses in preparing food, li~tle ideas of bringing out flavor, of ussng small bits. The story interest impels one to read to the end, growing more and more hungry all the time. "Power" by Lion Feuchtwanger has been a sensation in England and America. Part of ·it is doubtless · due to the fascination of the horribleromance that was once clothed in rose and gold is now attired in dirt and reality. But, for the most part, it is due to his peopling the book with 'characters that live, grow and decay. We watch Jew Suss grow from a mean . servile man that we despise to a greatness that we finally respect. In his latest book "The Ugly Duchess," we pity the poor ugly young duchess with the mouth of an ape and are her champions while fate thwarts her attempts at compensation in the form of being a great ruler. Both books are of the riewer historical romance, full of color and drama, but lacking in the old-time sentiment. "Influencing Human Behavior," by H. A. Overstreet, was an absorbing book on how to get what we want from other people. His latest book, "Aboul Ourselves" provides us a means of understanding our moods that we mav have more interesting and · vital lives. "Girls Who Did," by Helen Ferris, answers for girls the question "What am I going to do?" It is made up of interviews of unusually successful American women, how they got their start and eventual eminence, and how one may follow in their footsteps. "My Crystal Ball," by Elizabeth Marbury, is a realty entertaining and stimulating book of reminiscences.
