( One of the hazards of passing at an intersection is the action of the cars behind you in the other lane and the possibility that a turning car may enter the left lane ahead of you tile very second of your violation. Another hazard to the driver attempting to pass at an intersection is the signal jUmper who may move out a half-second early and suddenly become involved in death and destruction -- all based on the inability to judge the other drivers' behavior and to think ahead and perceive traffic situations before they happen. "Every Night, Josephine?* by Jacqueline Susann Jacqueline Susann took one look at the winsome little black puppy and she was hooked--to the other end of Josephine's leach. Her husband, a dog hater from way back, had to look twice. And that was the beginning of one of the merriest romps that ever took place between two covers. The moment Josephine crossed the threshold of her new home she took over* Growing up in the kooky atmosphere of a show-business environment, Josephine got to meet many off-beat characters, some of them dogs. She even got to meet some people her owners never met--like Margaret Leighton and Laurence Harvey -- via the hotel chambermaid, of course. One of Josephine's girl friends (a poodle) had a whirlwind encounter with a friend, Bobo Eichenbaum, a male poodle painting with unrequited love, appeared on television with Josie. Billy Rose and Joyce Matthews also figure prominently in the plot. Throughout, Josie grows in the reader's affections, and it is with great relief that we see her come through her greatest adventure--this time with" the Dr. Casey of the veterinary world--in glowing triumph. "Accident" by Elizabeth Janeway Here is a novel as satisfying for its fine craftsmanship as for its revelation of character. In it, Elizabeth Janeway tells the story of three generations brought to the brink of destruction, possibly restored to more meaningful existence, by a disaster that shocked all con* cerned into self-awareness and self-appraisal. Every family is unique by reason of the pulls and tensions which hold its several relationships in balance. The Benedicts -- Charles, Maude and their son, Steven, had a generous share of the good things of life. They had money, intelligence, health, personal at? tractiveness and acknowledged position to which Maude's impeccable forefathers added special luster. Charles and Maude had known love, though it had escaped them somewhere along the years, tf they were not happy, they &fc least had made acceptable compromises with the realities of their situation. The confining, isolating, protecting Walls behind which they hid from each other seemed firm and secure. Until the accident. Steven was speeding back to Princeton with a classmate late one night when the car went oiit of control, with disastrous rer suits for his friend. It Wak the first time in his young, thoughtless pampered life Steven had had to lace uputo responsibility and think beyond himself.

No longer was the genteel past with its sheltering traditions as refuge for Maude --she had finally to act, to take a stand, to be herself rather than her professor-father's daughter. No longer could Charles find surcease from emptiness with a young mistress and the consuming demands of business. So they were driven out of hiding into a pitiless light that permitted no self-deception but did -- hopefully -- point some truths and define a' course. Mrs. Janeway brings to her writing compassion and arresting insights that lighten and enliven the contemporary scene. Louis S. Auchincloss, novelist and critic, says about ACCIDENT: 'The hardest thing in the world today, without seeming a Pollyanna, is to write a novel about people who reconstruct their lives. But Elizabeth Janeway has done it. Her accident is the electric shock that knocks the characters out of the terrible habit of living in perpetual fantasy and self-pity. They are floating, like the rest of us in a pathos of daydreams. And then--bang! Oh, they are not cured, but they are pulled up for a bit, and that's as much of a chance as any of us can expect in life, and more than most novelists give us!" "An Honorable Estate" by Lane Kauffmann Seldom has the dictum, "A novel is about people." been so fully realized. An Honorable Estate begins with Vicky Fortescue's family engagement party and ends with her fashionable wedding three months later. Within those borders is •mm StttoaOat -- Pmrbi * world," anc|, the1 question all readers aSK-^'What Will happen next" -- is answered by a Hjjasterly storyteller. Out of a vigorous and complex social group of a kind which he knows intimately, Lane Kauffman has wrought a vital, richly textured novel. A fashionable wedding in New York draws together a variety of human beings. So--a successful businessman finds himself strangely obligated to a successful playwright; a professor is helplessly involved in his secretary's miserable life; an epicene songwriter is thrust into the role of deus ex machina; a strong-minded worker for good causes is frustrated by events over which, to her amazement, she has no control; a young woman and her divorced husband have a love affair; a mother makes her peace with the coming of middle age; a pretty girl is sold a wedding dress by an expert; unlikely people become embroiled in a question of business ethics; a woman's tragedies mark the beginning and the end of a man's left-handed happiness; the revelation of a long-buried sin^ changes some lives the sin itself'trad never touched. Here also is New York as New Yorkers know it--its streets, its homes, its traffic and, most characteristic of all, its prevading atmosphere of excited anticipation. Through a brilliant use of irony, wit and dramatic action, Mr. Kauffmann displays the varied facades his people have erected to hide their real selves. And with a compassionate awareness of why and what they hide, he reveals their human weaknesses and strengths, their courage and their cowardice, their loves and hates and hopes. Joy Of Christmas Lies In Extending A Helping Hand Half the joy of Christmas comes in seeing the faces of our dear ones as they open our gifts. But the true spirit of the holiday calls for gifts to those we may never see: to the needy in our midst, through our community charities, and to the poor of other countries, through such agencies as CARE. The current CARE Food Crusade seeks $6,500,000 to complete a year-long plan to help feed 37,700,000 hungry people. U. S. Food for Peace donations of farm abundance are the mainstay of the plan. Under CARE partnership contracts, local governments will pay delivery costs for 34,000,000 persons. To reach the rest, CARE asks Americans as individuals to pitch in and help by sending 6,500,000 packages, at a dollar per package. In schools, orphanages, destitute homes, CARE "sees" for us. Here is a Staff man's report, after delivering packages to a village in Colombia: "Most of all we were affected by the children, whose reaction to the simple food was almost like that of American kids to their Christmas toys. You never fcgw such smiles and tears of happiness on the faces of youngsters who, for most of their livgs, never go a day without hunger." Give Johnny his trains, Sue her doll -- and give yourself the joy of sharing so others may eat. Mail your contribution to: CARE Food Crusade, 1 S. State Street, Chicago, 111. 60603.
