Fully to appreciate "A Time
for Living," by Gertrude
Schleier, published as a Torquil
Book by Dodd, Mead & Co.,
(432 4th, N.Y.C.), it is neces-
sary to know the background
of the novelist.
The new novelist responded
to a radio announcement of an
essay contest that was to close
the night she tuned in on the
program. She sent in a hur-
riedly written piece, won the
first prize and so impressed
one of the judges, a lady, that
she called on her. She found
Miss Schleier to be a cripple
who spent all her life in a
wheelchair watching the world
through her window.
It developed that Miss
Schleier had written stories and
poems for the Brooklyn Eagle,
won a short story contest con-
ducted by New York University,
and Prof. George Savage highly
commended her for her work,
predicted that she would some
day write a book. "A Time for
Living" justifies his prophecy.
In thi
s — in a,

he novelist.
e — is li
fined to her wheelchair, she
etains faith i life.
her gral-
She is
mother,
mainsta
e
which the -Tr her strug
nk,
father turns out t
a, a beauti-
ful gir , is out to attain all the
joys she can reach for in life.

Clara hopes for a career in
Hollywood and is disillusioned.
She becomes a model in a dress
factory and there she befriends
a married man whose Christian
wife does not give him much
peace.
The influence of Rifke is felt
throughout, and while she is
alive all is kept intact. But also
keeping the family molded is
Millie, who never despairs.
When Rifke dies, Clara goes
on living — turning to her
lover. Meanwhile Millie never
complains but goes on hope-
fully, with an interest in life
around her as she envisions it
through the window and the
few friends . who come to see
her, among them the Negro
janitor's son.
"A Time for Living" appears
to have biographical aspects.
It probably mirrors the life of
Gertrude Schleier who emerges
as an able novelist.

Total post office receipts from
third class mail amount to half
a billion dollars a year.
