NOW MORE THAN EVER LIBRARY NEWS Many new books have been added to the library shelves, One of the interesting one is "The Deepening Stream" by Dorothy Canfield. In this long biographical novel the au- thor again reveals her familiarity with college life and with the French people. It is the story of Matey Gilbert, who, after her early life had been saddened by the un- congeniality of her parents, found in her own marriage on ever-deep- ening satisfaction. The chapters which tell of her life in France dur- ing the war are most effective, "Cakes and Ale" by Somerset Maugham is a delightful story. When the time came for a biogra- phy of Edward Drilffield, the late dean of English novelists, his lit- erary executors were embarassed by the skelton in the cupboard. Rosie, the artless ex-barmaid of loving disposition and no morals, who bad been Driffield's first wife, had in- spired his best work, but she had no place in the legend of respecta- bility which the second Mrs. Drif- field had built up about him. The novel is outstanding for its excel- lent characterization and its satiric presentation of the rise of a liter- ary personage, and Mr. Maugham's interpolated comments on litera- ture and manners, though they de- lay the progress of the story will delight many readers. The history of an old house near Charleston, Malvern Barony, the home of six generations of Sheldons is effectively told in the novel "The Tides of Malvern" by F. Griswold. Beginning with the first Sheldon, a kaleidoscopic history of succeed- ing generations is given, down to Hugh, who died from the flu on his way home from the war A pro- log and epilog tell of the passing of the old heme to strangers, '""The Bridal Pond' by Zona Gale is a small .book of short stories. The small happenings that spell tragedy or happiness in uneventful lives are the themes of most these stories. The small happenings that spell tragedy or happiness in un- eventful lives are the themes of most these stories. They are told with genuine sympathy for human frailty and an unobtrusive, ironic perception of absurdities, Ah old plot--one twin imperson- ating another--is developed in Mr. Locke's entertaining way in "The Shorn Lamb." Atherton pedantic and rich, dies suddenly in the pres- ence of his scalawag twin brother, Brotherton. On the impulse of the moment the latter assumes his 'brother's identity and enters upon a career of adventure. "The Bitter Tea of General Yen" is an interesting tale. Megan, fian- cee of a medical missionary, is cap- tured by a Chinese general. The au- thor says of her, "Megan did not have a very keen sense of humor.... she considered it the refuge of those who -did not dare look facts in the face." But there are facts which she sees very dimly as her naive moral fervor battles with the general's an- cient sophistication. Those who read for plot may resent Megan's bodily security and fail to sympat the annoyance of Mr. Sch general's financial adviser, when, ally, he is forced to rescue lier the fin of the opposing army. Other fiction reccived: "The Four | count of Leonard Seppala's boyhood in Norway and of his migration to the Yukon. The second part is au- tobiographical. ' In it the greatest dog driver in Alaska tells of his exploits with dog teams and particularly of' his race to Nome with serum. In the last chapter he pays a special tribute to Togo, the dog who was entitled to the credit instead of Balto, a scrub dog of his outfit, immortalized by the newspapers, "In Machine Made Man," the au- thor, Mr. Bent, has undertaken to show just what the machine has done to and for man. He traces the his- torical development of certain neces- sities of life, such as food, clothing, shelter, communication, transporta- tion, commerce, money, politics, la- bour and education. His conclusions on the whole are optimistic. While recognizing the evils of modern civi- lization he believes that the most of them can be remedied.
