reared by running away with
no-good Terry Dillon. When he
deserted her in New York, ill,
poor and utterly friendless, she
determined to win for herself
riches and prestige. As Mrs. Sim-
eon Tower, she rose to dizzy pin-
nacles of social success in the
glittering world of Ward Mc-
Alister and Mrs. Astor, only to
have her world crash about her
when scandal and financial panic
struck her together. All the color
and excitement of the arthor’s
previous books. are here in this

Round Plate-Glass Mirror,
as an officer and in three coun-
tries as a war correspondent. Be-
cause in North Africa and Italy
he took part in the invasions,
he uses his experiences to inter-
pret the background of these
two much-criticized examples of
political expediency—and his
analysis of the political signifi-
cance of the United Nations
Organization forms a noteworthy
contribution to the understanding
of the national responsibility for
the peace of the world.”
Effective immediately, the li-
“The Arch1 of Triumph”, by
Erich Marie Remarque. “While
the bulk of the action takes
place in a decadent Paris, just
prior to the German occupation,
this is really a story of Europe
during the period between two
wars, and of the generation up-
rooted and sent wandering from
place to place by the strong tides
of economic and political uphea-
val that followed the coming of
facism. Particularly it is the story
of Ravic, a German emigre sur-
geon—of Joan Madou, singer and
actress—and Van Haake of the
Gestapo—a grim story of love
and revenge, played out under
the darkening skies, and of the
indestructible spirit, the undying-
enduring hope of all mankind”.

“I Love Miss Tilli Bean”, by
Ilka Chase. This story of two
Quakers—mother and daughter,
who build up a fashionable dress-
making business, begins before
the last war. Because Maude,
recently widowed, was romantic,
it was easy for Mr. Rechetti to
sweep her off her feet and take
her and Tilli to Italy. Later,
Maude took Tilli to Paris where
Tilli began her career and where
she fell in love—first, with a
French costume designer, and
then with a young American.
Eventually, however, together,
they found their way back to the
Shop in New York’s East 60’s—
back to success and further ad-
ventures for Tilli, adroit, sophis-
ticated, entertaining”.

“The Last of the Cocked Hats,”
by Arthur S. Tyron. “In this
honest and impressionistic story
of a man and his times are many
suggestions regarding today’s
problems, running all the way
from world peace to race regu-
lations. One puts the book aside
with a sense of the timelessness
of some of man’s insistent prob-
lems; and with the feeling that
help in their solution can come
from the study of men’s actions
in other epochs than our own, in
which their meaning is made
clearer by time’s illuminating
perspective.”

“Brideshead Revisited,” by
Evelyn Waugh. “In 1943 Captain
Charles Ryder is billited near
Brideshead, an English country
house owned by the Marquis of
Marchmain. Seeing the house
brings out a twenty years’ story
of the Marchmain family and
Ryder’s relationship with it. In
telling the love story of Ryder
and Julia Marchmain, Evelyn
Waugh, is telling the story of
England of the 1920 and 1930’s,
with the left-over eccentrics
mixing in with the new business-
political powers. In the course
of the .novel she illuminates the
modern conflict between religion
and divorce, and it is in his por-
traits, his vicious sharp com-
ments, his wit, that he shows
himself one of England’s major
novelists”.
