The Browser Looks At Books
OLD LAZY BONES, the Browser,
sits for hours mooning through the
books and can’t make up his little
mind to start writing about them.
. . . All so different. And so pre
sumptuous of the Browser to dare to
put his opinions of them into print.
. . . He picks up Anthony Trollope’s
"Barchester Towers” and “The War
den” Just published in The Modern
Library, reads what A. Edward New
ton has to say about that gentle, mod
est novelist who worked in a British
postoffice for so many years and
wrote novels on the side and then re
tired to ride hoses and write more
novels on the side . . . How quietly,
how simply, the man wrote! no effort
at the gee whiz! no wish to shock.
Just day after day, with never a miss,
he puts his stories together and they
are still solid.
You should read Anthony Trollope’s
“Autobiogarphy” some day. Fascinat
ing. Reticent.
Then half an hour with Dr. Har
vey Cushing’s ’’From a Surgeon's
Journal”, merely a part of the half
a million words that a great surgeon
set down in his diary in four years
of war . . . The Browser salutes it.
And his salute is not the sloppy, sul
len, indifferent salute he used to give
officers when he himself was a sold
ier; it’s a snappy one, with respect
in it for a man who did his job well
and knew what he was doing and
knew how to put down the significant
thing in his Journal. . .
Comedy, humor, irony, but most of
the time just details of that useful,
heart-breaking ork of patching up
broken human beings and hoping that
some day they’d be half as good as
new again . . . One he wrote in his
book: “I have neglected this diary
for a week and find myself somewhat
weary of it ... 1 have, too, been hav
ing a metal let down—probably sub
diaphragmatic in origin, and writing
at such times is not easy. The writing
center is not in the angular gyrus it’s
in the gastric mucosa." (The Browser
must remember to ask a doctor what
THAT MEANS) . . . The sort of book
that makes you think and say: “I
wish I knew that man. He’s real.”
Teen the Browser finished Sylvia
Thompson’s “Third Act in Venice”
and cursed himself for a week minded
idiot who should have stuck to his
first decision that ft’s a silly book,
supercharged with coincidence and
fake suotlety . . . and anyway, he IS

sick of novels about rich young men
and women who get into trouble . . .
Pooh! . . . But the Browser does NOT
mind a hair-raiser like Daphne du
Maurier’s "Jamica Inn”. There’s a
book that makes no pretenses, no com
promises. A good job about villains,
wreckers, smugglers, murderers, drunk
ards, thieves, poachers ,drak nights
on the moors—and one brave girl who
stumbles through horror and out
again, into the light. Very nice book
to take on your summer vacation, but
not if you intend to spend it in a
haunted house.

The secret’s out. He’s a she. When Sally Steams occupied the cox
swain’s position to lead the Rollins college (Fla.) crew to victory
over the boys from Manhattan, she was dressed like a boy. Sally is

Cucumber-Pineapple Sandwiches
With a biscuit cutter, cut rounds
of white bread the size of, slices of
cucumber. Place the cucumber on the
buttered surface. Combine cream
cheese with well-drained crushed pine
apple. spread on the cucumber and
top with a spring of fresh mint.
Fresh pineapple, finely shredded and
sugared, can be used. The same idea
of cucumber on rounds of bread can
be carried with a topping of cream
cheese flavore with a little mustard,
and a slice of hard-cooked egg. Place
a bit of parsley in the center of the
yolk.

Two things for which a man is
never prepared: Twins.
