The retiring president, Mrs. Auguste Babize, of Glencoe, has encouraged the formation of new departmental study classes by presenting a series of ten readings, illustrating the character- istics of the various periods in the history of dramatic literature from 700 B. C. to the present day.

Rich And Wholesome Is Quick's Story of Tow-Headed Dutch Lad OSSIBLY there is a Vandamark P township among the fifteen hun- dred or more that go to make up the state of Jowa. Its geographical reality is relatively unimportant since its material existence can be little more convincing than its viviparity as the literary fabrication of Herbert Quick, whose new (and to our know- ledge only) novel of note, "Vanda- mark's Folly" (Bobbs-Merrill) is hot off the press. However much the action of the rdy Dutchman who is the hero of 4% hy may savor of foolhardiness, no charge of indiscretion can be laid at the door of its author. This Quick is no bungler. So sure as his name is now comparatively unknown except to the most thorough readers of the magazine public, so certain is it to be placed in the front rank before the elapsing of many months. ough for six contemporary novels; it iv character in abundance, of the sort that is bred of healthy ex- periences and orderly thought pro- cesses; it is wholely lacking in the species of propaganda that is the meat of the modern romanticist; its setting is the familiar background of the mid- dle-west in the unfamiliar garb of the early fifties; its theme that of the colonization of the Iowa prairies. "yandamark's Folly" will never be what its publishers predict--a second «If Winter Comes." Where the latter Are Your Shoes Flexi- ble and Good-looking? 1f not both flexible and good-looking, your shoes would perhaps please you more if they were Cantilever Shoes, which combine flexibility with modish shoe designing. tilevers are so well proportioned ho jimh fit your foot like an easy glove--and look as dressy. Their arches are flexible, concealing no metal like ordinary shoes. This flexi- bility of the Cantilever arch corre- sponds to the flexibility of your foot arch, which nature designed to flex as you walk. Come and see the trim lines of Cantilever oxfords. Feel how com- fortable they are when you slip into the right size.

NORTH SHORE BOOTERY 529 Davis St., cor, Chicago Ave. Consider | } this recommendation:-- it has plot; | set the thinking world agog with its startling vivisection of a remarkable man's mind, Vandamark will only serve to lubricate the machinery of sanity and genuine enjoyment. Some will see in this story of the early mid- west and its pioneers merely a his- torical record of a little greater merit than Churchill's "Crossing". Others will hail it as Main Street in a pleasur- able guise. It is neither. Greater than the character of Mark Sabre, more real than the boy hero of the Crossing, and as true to type as any inhabitant of Gopher Prairie, is the picture of this blue-jeaned, tow-head- ed Dutch lad with honest buttermilk eyes, crying, fighting, driving his way along the Erie canal, hugging the worn shoe of his dead mother to his breast, saving his own manhood out of the degradation of the water- front, and slowly plodding his way across the prairies in the wake of a schooner drawn by cows, to a marshy strip of Iowa farm. "Prior to this time I had been courting the country; now I was too be united with it in that holy wed- lock which binds the farmer to the soil he tills. Out of this black loam was to come my own flesh and blood, and the bodies, and I believe, in some measure, the souls of my children." So says Jacob Vandamark, and no American will read such words with- out feeling a kindred thrill, binding him closer to the spirit of those early pioneers. Rich in the milk of human kindness, wholesome to the palate as freshly baked bread, and as nourish- ing to the mind is '"Vandamark's Folly." --D.O.T.
