ti Is it >possibleâ€" that . Oldâ€"IasmOnt" virtue is coming back to the novel? Such is the opinion of Percy Hutchâ€" inson in his review of Ernest Rayâ€" mond‘s new twoâ€"volume work. "In short ‘Daphne‘ is an attempt to piece together the house that fell. when Nora slammed the door so many years ago. What an appalling lot of deâ€" struction Mr. Hutchinson is laying at Nora‘s door! Â¥ To the many for whom Rebecca West‘s "The Judge" was an unforgetâ€" able experience, the announcement of her new novel "Sunflower" to | be published this fall will be of great interest. Miss West is planning to visit America in October. Magdalene Kingâ€"Hall fooled us all by publishing last fall "The Diary of a Young Lady of Fashion" supposed to have been written about 1775. But :o;- w'e-;veulh i â€"i;'t;y wondering why if she wrote it herself she didn‘t make it more clever? Thko . of "W‘ter Wheat," a novel by .e English author, Almey St. John Adcock, is more nearly an index to the book than : are most titles in this age (when ingenuity in thinking them up pften séems strainâ€" ed to the breaking point. It is the story of simple people in simple surâ€" roundings, told in a â€"style which makes up for a certain lack of beauty by a more than usual force and vivâ€" idness. URGES THE USE OF LARGE ENVELOPES It is the story of the love of Nancy Fallow for the handsome but worthâ€" less Jason Unthank.: ‘Love‘s quare aren‘t it?" says Lottie Chasteney, the book‘s philospoher. "Remioinds me of winter wheat, love do. Frost and snow can‘t wither it, and if you tramâ€" ple on the young> shoots you‘d only stamp ‘em further into the ground so that they come up stronger and sturdier at the first touch of sun." POSTMASTERS GET NOTICE Postal Dep?rtment Points Out Difficulties Caused By Handling of Odd Size; the Details Did you ever stop to think as you post one of the small "greeting" cards or a missive encased in a small, undersized envelope, the vast amount of trouble and inconvenience you are causing the faithful servants of the public who are in the employ of Unâ€" cle Sam‘s mail department?" "It is reasonable. to presume that the average person really has not given this mtter a thought, else he would not do it.: Many do not know that it is an inconvenience to those who have to handl¢e the mail. It is not alone the troulzllE which these tiny pieces cause, in handling along with the standard sized envelopes and cards, but it is the actual delay ocâ€" casioned in the gathering, sorting, despatching and distribution of mail, as well. And this delay is, really, your lossâ€"the public‘s loss." | But for Nancy‘s love the "touch of sun" comes too late, not until she lies dying. In her young girlhood she loved Jason with "a completeness which left her without defence against the cruelty, the selfishness, the waywardness of his nature. So she went away and years later, in the arbitrary way Fate has, she is almost forced into the thing she had so passionately longed forâ€"marriage with Jason. But this time all the years of the past and their many misâ€" understandings stand between, and time when they are to the genâ€" eral public and se throuch the mails, postmasters requested at this time again to the matter up with the local manufacturers, distribâ€" utor«. and retsilers x‘f.;n'-h cards and envelopes with a to securing their coâ€"operation in discouraging the use of the smaller gizes. : 1 All postmasters in the United States, are in receipt of a notice from the third assistant postmaster genâ€" eral on the subject, which follows, and which local residents are urged to heed as far as possible: Small Cards Delay "The use of small ‘greeting‘ cards and enveloves is very objectionable from a postal standpoint for the reaâ€" son set forthâ€" below, and since they are manufactured n?n'nhe-d in the hands of retailers 1 before the LOVE NEVER FAILETH JUST PARAGRAPHS "WINTER WHEAT" possible â€" that oldâ€"fashioned Almey St. John Adcock reorge H.

But the author has shown a true insight into the life of a little town in Engâ€" land, and a decided gift for charâ€" acter portrayal. Ring Lardner, who in the old days used to be known as Chicago‘s baseâ€" ball humorist, is developing a strain of grim realism which will soon make Theodore Dreiser sound like a comic sheet. But in art Mr. Lardner has travelled a long way since the days when he used to make us wonder whether it was worth while turning to page 102 for his column. "The Love Nest" and the other stoâ€" ries of the volume vivisect with such unerring cruelty their unconscious subjects, that one finds oneself wonâ€" dering just which would be the shortâ€" est way to cease being one of the human race. There is the movie magâ€" nate and his adoring wife who marâ€" ried him so that he would make her a star and all that he madeher was a "chronic mother"; there is the great producer who steals plots, the famous songâ€"writer who steals tunes, the brutish creature who in a small town passes for a practical joker and a "good feller." _Mr. Lardner has not given us one admirable character, but he has caught with devastating clarity down to the last shade of feeling the poor creatures that he does depict. stamps by hand and other extra handâ€" lings in the"course of their facing, distribution, etc., the addresses are likely to be obliterated by the canâ€" cellation mark; they do not fit the separating cases in tse throughout the postal service, and can not be tied securely with letter packages. Furâ€" thermore, there is not sufficient space for directions for forwarding, etc., in cases where it is necegsary to forâ€" ward such matter in order to reach the addresses. _ The politicians are‘ repairing ‘their fences‘. but a good job can‘t be done merely by using the hammer. It is not yet reported that Mr. Coolidge has caught so many fish that the family demand something else for dinner for a change.. It is claimed that no man should be allowed more than two divorces, but there are people who can learn: only by exnerience.
