It is easy to imagine waxing humor- ous over a motor trip in Europe em- barked upon by three ridiculous peo- ple, Peter Van Kleeck, professor of economies adored by all the young ladies of his classes, and Riff and Raff, two old maids the only ones of the weaker sex known to be impervious to his charms. This ill-assorted trio finds that by pooling their nest-eggs it will be possible to motor through Europe, a thing they have all been longing to do, thus escaping tourists and the beaten path and travelling in the highways and byways. So in spite of the laughter and jeering of friends, they start out, buy a little French car, and after Peter has spent a week tramping the streets of Paris getting licenses and permis- sions and things, embark on their much looked forward to adventure. The story is told by the slightly stilt- ed, very conceited professor, and loses nothing in the telling. It can easily be imagined what dif- ficulties beset the way. We look at Europe through not only clouds of dust, but clouds of mishaps. For ex- ample, "Madrid was in sight when the fan belt broke." We hear a good deal more of the fan belt, little more of Madrid. One day in Spain, they tie handkerchiefs over their mouths to strain the dust and are mistaken for bandits. But worst mishap of all, circumstances foist upon them Phoebe Proctor, the most adoring and impu- dent of all these young lady students of whom Peter Van Kleeck cannot think without a shudder. And of course in the end the ex- pected happeris, romance creeps upon the heartless professor and bags him for her own And they part, tragical- ly, with the French car and return to America each having found even more than he or she anticipated. Library Notes A recent addition to the Reference Collection of the Library is "English Gardens," by Avray Tipping.
