Toronto Ryer son. Come Spring. By Ben Ames Williams. 866 up. Toronto Thos. Allen. Is. Clark and mrs. Mcmeekin Are not the first collaborating novelists to discover that a respectable masculine pseudonym can be contrived from the names of two ladies. But their style is not masculine the Story m nor nor their handling of the psychological tricks. Show me a land is a novel of the South full of perils and palpitations and the flying hoofs of Gallant race horses. It is so crowded with dramatic and melodramatic incident that one can hardly escape a conviction that everyone in it including Dana s aging father is headed not for heaven but for Hollywood. The Story lacks in depth and subtlety it make up in action with the swirling heels of blooded race horses and skittish women duels of gentlemen and fights with the indians with curtsied and cholera plagues thrown in and a Gypsy girl or two and voodoo and such eerie goings on. The novel takes in Over half a Century state history from 181g to 1875 it takes in the civil War and of course the Kentucky Derby. There Are glimpses of great men Lafayette and Morgan and Lincoln lifting his ungainly length from a tiny Gilt chair. The novel follows the fortunes of the romantic terrains who still keep their High spirits and their horses after being shipwrecked on the coast of Virginia.

And when the kentuckians Are not gambling fighting or drinking they Are going on emotional Toots at the revival meet Ings with Bon firms and shouting for Miles around. Or. Williams writes of the found ing of a Small town in Maine Dur ing the years 1776 to 1784. He is concerned Here not with celebrities and statesmen but with Pioneer Farmers. His motives Are so commendable it is difficult not to Praise him for intention rather than for achievement. He sets out to por tray Ordinary people conquering the wilderness in an Ordinary but his main character Mima Rob bins is anything but Ordinary. She is an Earth goddess romanticized beyond belief. She is a Symbol of the life Force Hunting Down her hostile Superman with a directness that or. Shaw never dreamed of invading Joel s House and mind with menacing maternity and no gleam of humor at All Mima is too articulate too self consciously in league with the buds that burst open in the Spring. She should be striding garlanded through verses of heroic Poesy. She makes you As nervous As if one of the valkyries had got Loose. Come Spring follows the very Good fashion of Many recent Ameri can novels in turning to the vigor Ous past to the homely and Home spun realities of Pioneer farm life. Where it is factual and historic where it deals with events land Clearing and the building of Cabins it is sound and Lively Reading. Where it deals with women pioneers it is sugary and faintly absurd. There is a touch of nostalgia Here for ways that never were and could not be. There is a curious Assumption that women in houses had Noth ing to do but to be weakly and waited upon. The Book is too Long retarded by the stalking of Joel by Mima and diluted with nostalgic sentimentality. But there Are fair ish spots in French Canada and French Louis Ana after la Salle found it in 166 along its Banks marched Kentuck ians in Buckskin.

Text books a specially Cathedral in the Sun. By Anne b. Fibber. 4tt up. New York Carlyle House. There is the Broad panoramic sweep of California s mountains and valleys and sea coast Plains in this striking novel of that state s growth and development this achievement is probably due to the authenticity of the material that supports the several but minor fictional elements of the plot miss Fisher has been painstaking Anc comprehensive in her historical re search. Consequently one follows the steady Progress of californian development As depicted in these pages through the lives of three generations with deep absorption. And if at any time the narrative May seem to move slowly one soon discovers that is an unavoidable re sult of determinedly Complete por trayal. The activities of the Church the love of the spaniards for the soil and their religion the arrival of the american immigrants the subsequent increased Tempo of life the clash of agrarian and metallurgy interests these Are some of the major movements that miss Fisher depicts in terms of detailed characterization.
