ern novel, in the Englishman of
y, in the Victorian age, and in the
ition of civilized people's
ghts. And these studies have all
characterized in turn by some
he finest writing in the English
uage. In one sense Galsworthy
served as the best kind of ballast
such contemporaries as Gertrude
i and James Joyce. They areA
certainly pioneers, caring not for
al or intellectual scorn in their
riments with language as a me--'
of art. But many waters will

'ica-before "Ulysses" will be re-"
ed as anything but a mighty ex-
rent. And in the meantime Mr.f
vorthy does not offend the sen-
ties-the more delicate ones -
furnishes something in the Ian-'
e to which we are accustomed.

"Etched in Moonlight"-By James,
Stephens. The McMillan Company.
$2.50.,
(Courtesy of Grahams Book Store)
Here is a book of short tales that
makes a good afternoon's reading.'
True, the book is at variance with"
Stephen's other works, principally "The
Crock of Gold," "The Charwoman's
Daughter," and "Deirdre," for with but
one exception the volume lacks the
fine, fanciful language that gives Ste- l
phens distinction. But even so the
contents contain a delineation of char-
acter and emotion that. formdelight-
ful reading.
I am not well enough schooled in
the field of psychology to criticize
Stephens' methods and analyses. I
can only say that the book is a book
of smacks. It smacks of Poe and it
smacks of Ernest Hemingway. There
is a sketch in it that smacks of Wash-
ington Irving. But I should shuddei
to have you think that p am accus-
ing Stephens of plagiarism. These
smacks are not adaptations but mere-
ly traces I have gleaned from an en-
forced habit of historical criticism.
The stories deal with varied human
emotions. There is Death-death in
all its iciness and helplessness. There
is Hunger-hunger in all its sycophan-
tic craving. There Is the story of a
man who became obsessed with an
aversion to, a liquor-loving former
school-mate. There is the story of the
man-and this is the story from which
the title of the book is taken-who
tried to flee from his own personality,
from his own memory.
I fear that perhaps I have left with
you a wrong impression of "Etched
in Moonlight." I hope not,. for it is a
splendid book, nothing great, mind
you, but a mind-easing afternoon's
reading. It is a good little book to
read this summer, and you might well
do so, for surely it is well enough
written so that it can do you no
harm, and besides, it does no little
moralizing.

WITH the fast approaching spring
renting season, apartments having
proper, up-to-date refrigeration facilities
will be more than ever in demand.
Many families are actually selling their
homes and moving into apartments to
obtain the comforts and conveniences of
these modern dwellings. Apartment
owners, everywhere, are installing electric
refrigerators in the knowledge that apart-
ments so equipped will be first leased.
Electric refrigeration is the deciding factor
in renting. an apartment today. To meet
this universal demand, General Electric
has perfected a new, revolutionary Apart-
ment Model General Electric Refrigerator.
With. six square feet of shelf space for
Model occupies less than three and a half
square feet of floor area.
It is yyears ahead-portable as an electric
fan, unusually economical and pleasingly
'quiet in operation. All of the mechanism
is sealed in the air-tight casing mounted
inside the coils. Plug into the nearest
electric outlet and it starts.
It is worry-proof --- needs no attention -
not even oiling!
The cabinet is even porcelain enameled
inside and out. "A de luxe refrigerator at
a new low price," is the opinion of those
who have seen it.. "The best dollar value
in electric refrigerators today." You are
cordially invit:d to visit our display rooms
and examine this new model. Come in
