BOOK REVIEW "JIXXYTHE CARRIEIl", ISILIEL Z.NGWrLL BY a oook of unusual charm Is Manny the Carrier." by Israel Zangwlll. It Is a picture of rural lire In England without, however, any of the ttodglness which such a setting suggfests. Mr. Zanxwill has aepanea irom the literary convention which presents coun try people as 'mere Insects tolling in the web of fate and has pro duced a oook abounding in inter est and delightfully humorous. He has started out with the avowed Intention of writing a bland' novel which he defines as one which may be "read in bed with the sore throat" and which conforms to Dr. Johnson's defini tion of a novel as 'a story mainly about love." The character drawing and pervading: humor Is reminiscent cf Dickens. Anyone who wishes a real treat should harken to make the acquaintance of sweet, plucky little "Jinny" who long before the days of "wo man's rights" and parcel post made her own living and that of her grandfather, as a "Carrier." The story has also the charm of the unexpected coming as It does from the pen of Mr. Zang wlll from whom we have learned to expect a far different type of work. A young man seated in a train was suddenly addressed by the woman in the seat behind him: "Pardon me. sir." she said, "but would you mind assisting me off at the next stop? Yon see. I am very large, and when I get off I have to go backward, so the conductor thinks I am trying to get aboard and helps me on again. He has don this three times."

Dl'RKEE SAID TO MADGE Dicky and Alfred Durkee spent a long, busy afternoon over the manuscript of the novel which Mr. Durkee wished Dicxy to n- lustrate. With an abundant al - . ..i lowance of pipe tobacco and ci gars, with their feet elevated to the sun parlor windows, while their bodies rested luxuriously upon the base of their spines in the easy veranda chairs, they read and debated with all the gus to of men resuming congenial work-after a long- enforced ab sence. Alfred Durkee has an unusual reading voice, and he likes the sound of it almost as well as Dicky likes to listen to him. In fact. Dicky always lazily asserts that be can get the spirit of a manuscript much better from hearing it read than perusing It himself many tho manuscript in the pre-war days which I. read aloud to him so all through the afternoon the novel the noted au thor had written was clothed with dramatic beauty by Alfred Durkee't voice.. I should have liked nothing better than the opportunity of sit ting quietly in a corner while the reading and the discussion went on. It would have been a rare treat to me Indeed. I always have the nitting-at the-feet-ot Gamaliel spirit when I eee Dieky absorbed in his profession but the inexorable laws of courteous hospitality decreed otherwise. For little Mrs. Durkee was not only patently bored by the discus sion, but I knew from experience that h&r presence had the same effect upon the two men as that of a fussy, noisy, little canary. There were timet when they loved to have her with them, but not when they wished to concentrate their minds upon a subject. "I say. Madge." Alfred Durkee looked up from the third page of the manuscript, which had been punctuated by hit mother's In genuous comments upon a wide variety of topics, "can't you lead the mater gently up to your boo drorer and turn her loose on clothes or something like that while I'm reading; this? Goodness knows I love and revere her, but I always prefer worshipping her from afar when I've any business on hand. . - Yon needn't think 1 care any thing about your horrid old story." hit mother declared with affected petulance, but real good"! nature, rising with alacrity and shaking out her Huffy draperies. "It's dull at ditch water. I never could bear that W anyway. Don't like his photograph. He looks too la-de-da for anything. Come alonr. Madge.

This little woman has e rara taste end discrimina tion la dress, and a positive knacS: in designing and "fixing over" things.

My evening and afternoon gowns had the unmistakable look of be ing out of date, which while it bothered me but little, would. I knew, annoy my husband's fas tidious taste. Mrs. Durkee promptly seized the prettiest gown I had, one of Ivory crepe embroidered In gold threads and held It up critical- lr. "Yon lucky girl!" she said. "There's so much stuff In this that we can take it out here, add to the length, hide the Joining right under thli embroidered de sign, and swirl-it tightly around your ankles In the most approved style.
