The Women at the Pump Knut H am1un Alfred A. Knopf ...... SJ.OO Anyone looking over the lists of books which are to be published in the next three months might be tempted to cover his eyes and run, crying "No thank you we already have a book." But we have lived through other seasons as prolific and it is probable that we will get through this one. Amon· g the interesting ones just off the presses Senator Beveridge's "Life of Lincoln" ranks high. It is written not in the sketchy method of the popular fictional biographer but as the New York Times says "Beveridge's way was to get all the facts, sift them and present them, in the conviction that the character would emerge of itself. It did." As proof again that the really great and flaming personalities of the world never grow old, Ra<;:hcl Annand Taylor has written a brilliant biography of "Leonardo the Florentine." In her pages the great colorful age. and its greatest genius come to life agam. HERE WE ARE porter for the ..Courier." He came as most young inen of his kind would' come-for excitement for opportunitJ, for ne';V experience. He got them, to a certam extent, all. Excitement in hie; love affair begun with no delay with the green eyed girl across the hall, in the bootleg war in which he becomes involved; opportunity in the chances offered by the city papers of which he · has not at the end of the book taken advantage; new e·x periences at every turn in the bewildering pageant of city life. Marry sees it all as a pageant passing against the background of the little Iowa town, the · Dorset porch, the "Courier" office early in the morning. The story is as broken as a cloisonne . vase by the time you can get to it, but there is a jazzing zesture, youthful quality which makes ·it good of its kind.

It is all part of au almost forgotten time, yet would yoa believe that many of the most famous chiefs still live, that only a little over twenty years ago these Indians saw their first whi~e men. . It is like a speeded up mov1e, but 1t IS true. This is a book to .be read for it is one of the few that we will ever have from one of the Indians who lived in that famous, glamorous time.

Wrirt Jlurine Co ·· ChitllfO. ftw FREB One evening in the dining room of the fabulously lov:ely hotel at Lake Louise I looked up to see an unusually striking man in evening clothes walk. ing with great dignity down the length of the room. Immediately there was a murmur, originating in thin air as those murmurs always do, "That's a full-blooded Indian chief, he is a college graduate and did distinguished service in the War. He is an author, too, he has a book which is going to be published." That was too much ! The entire dining-room gave itself uo to staring in child-like delight. But it did not perturb in the least the statelv fi~ure, walking as if through one of hts own forests, his fearless eyes straight ahead, his skin no darker than the sun had made other skins in the room, his features like an Indian carved in bronze. It woul<l be entertaining to be able to say that this Indian chief was Chief Buffalo Child Long Dance. author of the book "Long Lan~e." Unfortunately I have not the faintest idea. yet it might have been for the publisher's blurb on the cover coincides in all the particulars with that murmur. But I have forgotten the Inrlian name that I heard then. This book "Long Lance" is not a book of the world in which its author now lives, but a storv of the Indian world in which he lived years ago.
