The book- is as, full of itteresting anecdote and cxperieîîce as of v'aluable information. nalists, like the present Mark bUii- van, will wish to read in the ap- proaching 'fifties when they write amusiiWg social histories of the shin- iing and hungry early 'thirties. It is principaily as coilector of the amnazing trivial details- of our. times tlat, Miss Brnsh bas distinction in this ncw book. To a. masculine read- er there is a fascination in the sheer, bnlk of, femiinine details she presents, .matters of cosmetics -and clothcs,' of perfumes and coiffures. Miss Brush's*Renwood is atowif as depressing as Sinclair Lewis's towns were depressing but- more colorful. It is larger than Gopher ,Prairie,. smaller than - Zenith.

IN KRUSACK'S HOUSE.. By Thames Wýilliamison. 'New XYork: Harcourt, Brace & Co. Mr. - Wifliamson's siniplicity -is nlot the decadent simplicity of a writer who bas.tried e-vcryting cisc anîd tircd of it. It is the perfect cioth ing for this, toucbing little :stony of thec hunky, Jencic, who tried to foun'd a home, tried to make a happy andý conitented wife onbt of a little tart an rcâ The choice of "Job. The Story. ot a Simple Man" as the November se- lection of the Book,,of-the-Month club is a significant one. It' signifies,' without proclaiming the fact that the cbroniciing of emotion - emnotiou downright and seif-dec-lared-hýaS iost 11one of' its potency. This tale itseif is more than sug- getdby its, tide and described iv advance, by the. subtitie. Me ndel Singer, like his Biblical predecessor. is a pious Jew who lives in a small village of Russian Poiand instead ot in, the land of Uz. Mendel, like job., fears God, eschews evil, and can fac z the future with assurance if not with affluence. ',IIt is- the nma nner in which this t ale is told which will- compel the reader rather. than the 'story itself. RothWs is an. illumrrinated simplicity unlike any. of his contemporaries here or abroad; it is a. little like the col-, loquies of Gottf riedý Keller, a littl'. like the comments'of Hans Christiaiî Andersen. This young Germait (ht! is bareiy forty) refuses to assumec the Olynipian attitude so dear to th..ý "detached" artist; his method place, 1him in instant, and intimate conta'r1 with the reader. THE CHAMPION FROM FAR AWAY. By Ben Hecht. New* York: Covici-Fniede, Inc. Reading a volume of -stories by Ben Hechit is 'like walking past a fence covered with brigbtly-coiorcd circus plosters. You, look at the poster-., or you read the, stories, and are un1- pressed more decply perhaps than you realize at the time. Ben, Hccht uses, the saine kind of technique as the mcen Who make the posters. If figures are to be outliinedi he miakes theni bold a.tdý simple-too clean; if color is to bé-applied be makes it raw. ates strong impressions. Take a story like "The Champion ironi Far ýAway," the title: story in this volume. It is certain. tiat- Hecht meant this. story to be ententaining, and iittlc cIsc. As entertainment it is excellent.
