Then begins the buffeting by the world with which Clodi is both too fine and too weak to deal. nounce or subdue. "Custody Children" is a very brilâ€" liant novel. We choose the word brilâ€" liant perhaps partly because the book «deals with glittering things, wealth, society, pomp, display. But Mr. Evâ€" erett Young, its author, makes it very clear to us that these things have only outward glitter, that within they a dark hollow sham. Like the kind of macaroon â€" we believe it is â€" alâ€" luring on the outside which, when you bite into it falls into a few misâ€" erably crumbling flakes of beaten egg. terizes them. â€"For seldom has an author painted society ag darkly as Mr. Young: does, yet he does it entirely convincingly. But we can comfort ourselves that he has taken only one layer of society, the "ultra smart" set, the "perpetual motion addicts" â€"as he aptly characâ€" "C unton Children" by Everett Young Henry Holt & Co. You‘re not even safe if you‘ve been comfortably dead for centuries, as Mr. John Erskine is going to conâ€" tinue to tell the world in general and in particular Sir Galahad, who is the victim of his forthcoming buok. After dealing so adequately with Helen of Troy what more could we ask than that he should tell us how Sir Galaâ€" had got that way? In broadeasting over the radio a dramatic book review of Edna Ferâ€" ber‘s "Show Boat" the other night, Doubleday Page & Co. had excellent material with which to work. A book of its spirited charm, with the river as a mysterious everâ€"present backâ€" ground, is easily projected dramaticâ€" ally. The music aided by one or two descriptions, took the place of the river; and the characters all spoke for themselves. If there could be many books of such radio possibiliâ€" ties as this best of h{’i:: Ferber‘s books, the dramatic k review might become a very popular form of radio entertainment.

BEST NOVELS OW BOAT FARNOL i where the strug» Now in life, such a course would end in a "flop" of one‘s hopes, but not so under Mr. John Buchan‘s skillful pen. There it blossoms into a breathâ€" lessly thrilling tale of remote islands, surly peasants and an old pagan rite consecrated in the Valley of the "Dancing Floor." Vernon Milburne has had for manyi years a dream, recurring on a certain | night of spring, a dream about which he only knows that each year some-i thing comes nearer him. So strong is‘ the holdâ€" of the dream that Vernoni consecrates himself to its cause and only holds himself in readiness for'l its fulfillment whatever it may be. Kore Arabin, outwardly a flapper of the too wellâ€"known afterâ€"theâ€"war type, in England, does not attract Vernon Milburne at all. But seen unâ€" der rather different conditions, as the lonely, courageous upholder of her family‘s house amid hostile natives of the remote island of Plakos, he is very differently impressed.
