Such a one is this "Education of a Princess" by Marie Grand Duchess of Russia. It is unique because the experience is unique, the life of this young woman who stands withâ€"her feet in â€"mediaevalism, as it were, and her head â€"certainly in all the turmoil of the most modern and stupendous happening of our time. : A cousin of the late Tsar of Russia, sister of the Grand Duke Dmitri who was implicated in the plot to kill Rasâ€" putin, there is probably no one living today who could give such an authenâ€" tic and intimate account of those terâ€" rible and fateful years. And this the Princess has done with great simplicâ€" ity, frankness, and what seems to be under the cireumstances of her birth, extraordinary broad mindedness. __> ~‘The title of her book the Princess chose with a certain amount of irony for she goes to show that â€"her and her brother‘s education was entirely deâ€" signed to unfit them for the position they were to hold. Brought up in complete isolation and gloomy magniâ€" ficence, every spark of independence or initiative was crushed in them by the nurses and governesses who were their constant companions. Not unâ€" til after her unfortunate marriage with the Prince William of Sweden, later annulled by the Tsar, and the coming of the war when she and her brother went to the front as nurse and soldier, did their real education begin. f & <. From that time on â€"the book has a positively : breathâ€"taking. interest. Each event we have from a new and intimate point. of view, the "Russian debacle" at the front, the growing inâ€" fluence of Rasputin and the incredâ€" ible inertia of the Court, the fateful night when only a mile or two from where the Princess waited in her war hospital her cousin the Tsar signed the abdication for himself and his son. All of these things shook the world, and now we read of them from "EFDUCATION OF A PRINCESS" By Marie Grand Duchess of Russia The Viking Press ROBERT W.

How far knowledge has progressed since then, and how different our physician‘s scientific prescriptions! one who was there, who could reach out and touch them, every one. The story of that Revo'axtion and the Bolâ€" shevist regime are marked by great | restraint of bitterness, in that the author showed her artistry for the facts are so stupendous of the Prinâ€" cess and her husband, by a series of miracles, over the border in Rumania. PR ESS Where Science & Ethics Regn FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT "I hope for their â€"own â€"enjoyment more and more people will discover E. M. Delafield," says Anne Parrish, thus neatly phrasing the very point of the situation. _ Miss Delafield is eminently an author to be read for enjoyment of a light story, clever characterization, easy dialogue. "Houseparty" her latest book, is the story of â€"a domineering woman who tries to run the livesâ€"of her husâ€" band and his daughter by an earlier marriage, and the lifeâ€"of her son. She emphasizes always the factâ€" that these two young people are "brother and sister" though of course they are no relation at all. Equally "of course" the two fall in love, sheer loneliness would drive them to it since they are the only two real and also nice peoâ€" ple in the book.. Mamma makes a terrible fuss but is brought around by the grandmother â€" she is nice but not very real â€"_and gives them her blessing and the proper share of her money. 5 > This is the kind of book that does not try to be any_more. than it is, a light gay story, more or less of a social satire, to be read not to widen one‘s experience of life but to while awn{y a few hours amusingly. nu An exhibit of the fibrous minerals from which asbestos is made, with specimens of a wide variety of asbesâ€" tos products, is available for study among the economic geology collecâ€" tion at Field Muesum of Natural Hisâ€" tory. 3 f By E..
