certain just when i had planned j to go away our threshing machine would come along sod up set the apple cart completely as a matter of fsct a threshing machine did come alone but luckily it was not the one that we have so i was safe as usual it was quite a chore getting away between getting my own things ready lor the trip and leaving enough at home to keep the family fed and cared for was no

value in the family oittmauon tonight saturday was my first ap pearance at the book pair and it waa a session i particularly wanted to attend because i was so anxious to see and hear kathleen strange who wrote with the west in her eyea i feel i have a lot in common with llsh born girl who married and settled in western canada after the war just as i did and apparently neither of us rdlyknewa cow from a horse in those days we both liked writing and there perhaps the similarity ended mrs strange married a major an ambitious man with the wherewithal to carry out his ideas i married a man who enlisted as a private and we started life with very little capital beyond courage and enthusiasm mrs strange won a 1000 prise for her book i have neither book nor prise but i am glad she has both it la an interesting book i enjoyed reading it but i felt all the time that she wrote of the west only as she knew it and that her experience was very dif ferent from the vast majority of west ern fanners wives personal hardship was something that had never come her way i felt in read ing the book that life had dealt very kindly with herwhen i saw her to night i was even more sure on the stage she looked like a young girl very charming very vivacious and ao abso lutely natural and unspoiled her ad dress was both interesting and amusing and she quite captivated her large audi ence arthur stringer was the next speaker arthur stringer you will remember wrote prairie wife prairie mother and prairie child and of course many other books he too was very interesting one of his remarks i thought was par ticularly true he spoke of the jealousy existing between members of various professions or trades but said that that jealousy did not exist among writers that i believe is true writers

unusual hooks which oanadlan publishers are offering tcr their enlightenment and entertainment for the most part the books mentioned in this column will deal at least for the next two months wjh outstanding problems in the field of social and inter national relations there may be oc casional excursions into the realm of re ligion in all cases it is important to note that they will be reviewed
