I Book-of-the-Month Club Selects a Glasq&uf Booh 1oV '. CtWen t '' 'Hoiwrjt ... The bock which has' been chosen this "mdnth by the selecting-committee or the Book-of-the-Month club, of which the Salem Woman's ftlub maintains a branch, is "The Romantic Comedians," by Eller. Glasgow. The following eminent folk of letters accomplished the decision: Henry Seidel Canby, chairman; Ileywood Broun, Dorothy Canfield. William Allen White and Chris topher Morley. "This book." says an accom paning press sheet, "is Ellen Glas gow's 15th novel, and from the chorus of praise that has been rising from the reviewing col umns, it is apparent that quite universally it is due to be con sidered her best." Dr. Canby says: "Miss Glas gow lias exercised her very great powers, not only in a feat of fine writing, but in a story that should move every middle-aged reader and should interest every young. For sTie has taken that situation usually made absurd or merely pathetic, the devoted love of an oldish man for youth in a lovely girl." Rev. Martin Fereshetian. pas tor of the First Unitarian church, and a scholar along many lines, conducts the Book-of-the-Month Study club which meets at the Woman's club house.
