Porter 'Pollyanna" Eleanor ru ti e ; Has written a wonderful novel of divorce as seen through the eyes of Mary-Marie, "the child in the case". "Mary Marie" is a quaint and vivid personality, the daughter of a serious -minded college pro fessor and his light-hearted, rather frivolous wife. Mary Marie cannot understand at first what divorce means and she sets down in her diary tha comments she overbears: "A divorce is a knife that cots knot that hadn't ought to ever been tied," said one. divorce is a jump m the dark," aid another. A divorce is the comedy of the rich and the tragedy of the poor," aid a little man who wore glasses, "Divorce is a guidepost marked bell to heaven, but lots of folk miss the way, just the same, I notice," poke up somebody with a chuckle. "Divorce is a coward's retreat from the battle of life." But Mary-Marie finds that divorce is, for her parents, at least, something quite differ ent, and she tells in her own way the heart story of her young mother and father, with pathos and humor and delicious child-wisdom. This novel begins in the Feb ruary Companion. It will be complete in three big instalments.
