WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1923 : 19 Reading Lamp A LITERARY GUIDE TO THE meWEesT HOOKS OF THE MONTH Gertrude Atherton's Latest "BLACK OXEN"--By Gertrude Ath- erton. Reviewed by D. Kenneth Laub Publisher : Boni and Liveright $2.00. To have been the most beautiful woman in the richest and most ex- clusive set in the New York of the Eighties; to have beaten a field of thoroughbreds in the .race for the hand of the greatest catch of the seas- on; to have won the reputation of be- ing the most brilliant hostess in Vi- enna; to have been sought after by all the young bloods of Europe for your physical charms and by all the great statesmen of Europe for your intel- lectual charms-- And then-- At the age of 58--when you have grown old and tired and withered and have been discarded by all your lovérs and are tolerated only for your social postion: To have your endocrines revitalized by ah X-ray treatment at the hands of a great Viennese biologist; to have your youthful beauty. restored; to re- turn to America and outdo in woman- ly charm the daughters and grand- daughters of your former friends: to have all the males of New York at your feet and all the females from 16 to 60 at your throat; to win the pas- sionate love of the most brilliant newspaper column conductor in the great city-- Oh, girls ain't it a grand and glori- ous feeling? And that's just what Mary Ogden, heroine of Gertrude Atherton's "Black Oxen," does. Yessum: this young "Sophisticate" (who, though he's dark, slim and saturnine, isn't F. P. A. for F. P. A. himself has said it and it's greatly to his cre-eh-dit, nor any other column-conductor we can think of at the moment either, for none of them-- we think--refers to himself as a "colyumist" or has to be! told by a platonic-lady-novelist-friend when he's in love and when he's out of love and how he ought to pursue his inamorata) is just nuts about the old-young lady and can hardly turn out his daily column for thinking of her! Oh boys, ain't nature wonderful? And oh, Doc Steinach ain't science wonderful ? CONSTANTINOPLE A THOUSAND YEARS AGO "The Lotus Woman" By Nathan Gal-| lizier. Publisher: pany. $2.00. This is an unusual and brilliant his- torical romance, with Constantinople a thousand years ago as a setting. It] is teeming with plots and counter-! The Page Com- plots and the absolute lack of decen- cy, morality and fair dealing of the people of that time and place are shrewdly revealed. The book is beau- tifully printed and illustrated. - *. ROMANCE OF DISCOVERY "1492" By Mary Johnston. Publish- er: Little Brown and Company. $2.50. This is the story of Christopher Co- lumbus the man, the explorer and the Viceroy of the Indies. The tale is told by Jayne de Mar- chena who because of his Jewish birth and advanced opinions was forced to flee from the Church and State of Spain. As Juan Lepe he sailed with the great adventurer in the Santa Maria and became his physician and friend. What they found everyone knows. But the author with marvel- ous skill has turned Christopher Co- lumbus from the shadowy figure of history into a living, breathing char- acter. He had the great vision of a westward voyage to the Indies and when at last the farsighted Isabella gave him the means, he had the skill and the courage to carry it through: LALLA LILLIA LL ILI LIL LL LAF 11 A SA A 1 AAA AA A SLIP COVERS Including Labor and Material Satis- Davenport owe $11.00 ve Chair anteed $6.50 Also a wonderful selection of im- ported Coverings at a tremend- ous reduction due to our wide experience im the making of Cov- ers, enabling us te give you sup- erior quality.
