TELL YOUR OWN FORTUNE
By Doric Webster and Mary Aldan
Hopkins
The Century Company. N. Y., 1929
This little boo«. is devised for the
M *tew who wishes to entertain her
ruests pleasantly. It is arranged in
r parts: ‘Your Past, Your Fu-
You Can Change Your Fate, and
Let’s Make Money.” The guests are
•d to write answers to a
f (| uestionR given in the book,
mere yes or no. These an-
irv arranged in columns and by
a simple numbering device are
solved into a number of three or five
figures. The book supplies a corre
sponding number with written para-
graph of solution. No doubt plei.^-
ant companionship and a gracious
hostess will make the “game” delight
ful. The answering of questions in
volves no mental effort. The ele
ment of fortune telling will add zest.
Into the making of the book much
work has gone, but the result is only
a suggestion as to how a friendly
group of guests may play innocently
for an hour.
RELATIVES
By Rtutdl Natl*
Harper ..d Brother., N. Y., lttt
With the usual artistic finish of
Harper’s this volume is printed. Rus
sell Neale’s first novel was Hobby
House in which he depicted the life
aboard a houseboat on the Ohio
River. He had spent most of his
twenty-two years in river towns and
was thus able to bring vividnei
his story.
RELATIVES is an ultra realistic
fiction of life among the Pennsyl
vania German settlers. It is full of
pathos and tragedy. One is remind
ed of the stark cruelty set forth
Martha Ostenso’s Wild Geese, for the
men and women of that Icelandic
colony in Canada resemble Neale’
charcaters. With a minimum of vei
biage Neale crowds his page full of
human misery, little stupidity. His
people say little but that little reveals
the sepulchre within. Their langu
age is limited and contains offensive
expressions oft repeated.
His characters are drawn with
exactness that is painful. One ris
from the completin. of the book,
frerng she has lived among them
ar.-l experienced in the flesh tl:
e.evntricities and contradictions «i
th<m. Clear, as : f painted on car
vas, rises Grandmother Ida, cas* out
of home by her own daughter to
in a rough shed on earth floor with
her half-wit grandson. The husbands
of Sue Pall are human life itself
with no palliative philosophy or cul
ture.
Neale’s book world be unbearable
were it not for the fact that he
the Greek method of transporting the
act of murder to the background, but
his realism to the point of action is so
vivid the crime weighs upon our
tenses as if we had seen it. Oscar,
the- half-wit, lies at evening in wait
for the man who had caused his
grandmother’s trouble, and kills him,
hiding tiie body in a Marrel in an un
used shed. The reader ever ex
pects the murder to be discovered
and Oscar to be pnnished, but the
book runs on and to the end the
the murderer is free. A new type
of writing suspense is thus employed.
John is a shadowy figure in the
>tory. In his soul he is a musician
and he dreams of a famous career
with his violin, but he loses the girt
he loves, sees another who loves* him
killed, is cast out by his step-father
find himself, and suffers an acci
dent that crushes his fingers and
i his violin dreams. Thus the*
element of possible romanticism
in the story is buried under an aval
anche of realistic woes.
A CARD OF THANKS
We wi*h to express our sincere
and heartfelt thanks to our neigh-
hors and friends who were so kind
when sorrow came to us by the death
of our husband and father. May
God’s richest blessings rest upon
each one of them, and when be
reavement cornea to them may they
find and have as true friends as they
were to us.
