THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1022 Jt t : i 0 ' 1 ::'-; I, r WHAT TO READ (Continued from page 2) and aside from ber comments on the Women's building at the uni versity seem, to those who live in Oregon, unimportant compared to many things ronnected with the schools of feigner education which she might have written about. However she brought Marion county Into her Btcry although she did not mention Salem at all, probably did not know it was in Marion county, and stje did "not mention any other county in the state either. How do present day heroines compare with those of a genera tion ago? ""Changing Fashions , in Heroines" by Mary K. Ford in the September Bookman is a stu rdy. in the manner j and costumes of women throu3h the years as depicted in "fiction. From Elizabeth Bennett, belov ed by. readers of "Pride and Pre judge" to Carol Kennicott and Lulu Bett, the, writer traces the "changing1 fashions'. "With all C GRUNERT xrro tops 256 State St of her absurd limitations, the ear ly Victorian woman was a more sterling character than Carol," she saya. Two letters reproduced In the Contributors club of the Atlantic for September are another illus tration of the chipping in the last half century. These may not be typical women o' tLcir time but anyway they wrote letters which got into print, eventually if not intentionally. On is. one written in 1857 while the othr is written by an American girl abroad in the present time. Sinclair Lewis 'gets it going and coming in The Bookman for Sep tember. He is featured in the Lit erary Spotlight for the month. The writer of t h e "Spotlight" says that Sinclair Lewis lives and eats "Main Street." "'He has never recovered from his surprise at its success as a best seller and his life still revolves around that success." i "Babbitt". Sinclair Lewis' new book which is said to be more re alistic than the small town epc and with all of its power is mak ing a stir in the literary world at the present time. ,"Bret Harte and Mark Twain in the Seventies" by Mrs. James T. Field, whose husband was at one time editor of the Atlantic, began in the September issue of the Atlantic. i Those who read "Crowding Me mories" by the same author will remember the little lady's cool recepiton of the distinguished "Mark .Twain when he was brought home by her husband and by some mistake not introduced to the hostess ,who thought him most crude. Marie Chapdelaine, a charming epic of the lower French Cana dian country, has reached third rank on the Bookman's score card. Many have wondered who the author, Louis Heraon, was or Is. Louis Hemon was a young Frenchman who came out to Can ada several years ago. He wrote the book while there and sent it home to Paris where it was pub lished serially. Before the war broke out it had reached the mil lion mark in book form and the government was seeking the au thor. Soon after the war broke cut he was killed in a railroad ac cident in Canada. The Canadian govternment in appreciation for his ? work named two lakes after him Lac Louis and Lac Hemon.. Reported from London among the best selling novels of the last few weeks are: Maria Chapde laine by Louis Hemon, The Secret Places of the Heart by H. G. Wells, and Conn of the Coral seas by Beatrice Grimshaw, whose recent return to England after fiftee nyears in New Guinea has aroused fresh interest in her stor ies of South Sea life. Zona Gale writes in the Yale Review: "When to-day is dust and They read about us", two of the books that "will Interpret to The our spirit are "A Son of the Middle Border and "A Daughter of the Middle Border, by Hamlin Garland. To us of the Middle Border these books are epic. Their unashamed provincialism is their glory. "A daughter of the Middle Bor der" is primarily a personal nar rative, a saga ot a family. There is nothing in American literature which is more truly of the family j than the chapter "Mary Isabel's Chimney." It stands next to Knutson's account of the bringing home of the mowing machine. "The book wins respect and de light; the book which fixes Ham lin Garland for all time among the beloved figures in American literature.' It was this book that won the Pulitzer Prize as the best Ameri can biography of 1921. Maria Chapdelaine, by Louis Hemon, has inspired some of the best of the volunteer book reviews lately contributed to the Des Moines Register by enthusiastic readers. We quote one of these In toto: "Here, in a Canadian forest background, are Millet's peasants in pioneer struggle with Nature the uncleared land, the lonliness. the long winter. Here are their bowed figures, their deep pati ence, their elemental hardihood, their symbolic grandeur. Ameri can life has nothing nobler to de lineate; .merican literature noth ing finer to offer.' Ruth B. Safford. ' Late fiction seer.s to be osme what in the control of women. Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart, Kathleen Norrla. Edith Wharton. Honore WilUie and Miss Hull hold a prominent position among the most popular authors accord ing to reviewers. Kathleen N'orrts' "Certain Peo ple of Importance '' it a story of California without t'ao story of the gold rush whicn has held such an important place !n California stor ies of the early d?ys as a general rule. tThis new book of Mrs. Norris' is different from most of her long novels in that it has not appeared serially. fcurin July, f-.r tne first time in months, neither Harold Bell Wright nor Gene Stratton Porler figured in the ten most called for hooks as recordej by "the Book man. "The fact." acrcYdirg to the scoremarker oi the Bookman, "is offered not by way of commen tary upon the literary taste but merely as an item of news to which may be coupled the safe, in this Instance, prediction that as soon as either Mr. Wright or Mrs. Porter write another book it will find its way into iie list with the utmost promptitude." "If Winter Comes;", still leads in the fiction clss3 while Wells' "Outlines" is away ahead of oth er non fiction. An autobiography of Oscar Strauss, "Under Four Presidents" began in the Outlook, Septtember 6. No one knows when it was first proclaimed that two and two are four but everyone knows It is so and no one will take $3 to settle a debt of $4. says Ben Coler in a, book "Two and Two Make Four" which is at the city library. Coler, who is promlu'ent in New York state politics, reviews the history of the church in matters of state and shows the peculiar situation whi:h made this not on ly possible but the only arrange-1 ment which could be made, he says. j His t rp atmoTi' n v1 I arly is easily read and treats of everyday matters in the matter of fact manner of the politician who goes right to the bottom of thingrs to find out the inside story and the truth under "what people are saying."
