H. 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.

When wrapped in the most luxuri

your nose is about all that anyone
sees and the human eye, you
know, has a habit of fixing itself
on a bright spot so do keep it sort
of dim, anyway. "At this season you

skins and watery eyes on the bit
