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. MRS. MILLARD S. BARNES. MR. AND MRS.
