S2. 5o '-Towers Along the Grass" by Ellen DuPoise Taylor, is a · rather pathetic story although. its pathos depends more or ·less on a rather fantastic conception of one of the characters. Bianca Wells, eschool teacher in a little country school in Dakota, fascinates Kate Lovett, one of her pupils much as a spider fascinates a fty. Though Bianca is more beautiful than any spider and more pale. But the role ·she is destined to play in the life of Kate is a spider-like role. One by one she steals from her unconsciously, as far as spider-like fascination can be unconscious, her father her friend, her lover, leaving her at last desolate with the two towers of Bianca's building dominating her sky. Mrs. Taylor has a poetic style and although the touch of fantasy,-the connection of Bianca with the shilde of Bianca Capello of four hundred years ago-makes h~r characters too remote for deep emotion yet her story is interesting. ··.,.... a BU.a J»deiH 'J'Qier ····n The Silver Thorn · A Book of Storia.

Nor has this sec;ons:l book by Countess Gizyc;ka any . rea~on to do so either. It is a good story told in swift direct style of material which · in itself is interesting. As the Countess Gizycka the author knew the pre-war aristocracy of Europe and more especially Russia intima~ely. It is against this background of court balls and jewels, intrigues and infidelities that she has rlaced her story. . Yet she does not depend too heavily on the interest of her background, Daisy Shawn of Chicago, . later the Princess Slavnisky, is a truly authentic character and so are the others in the book, her parents, her refinedly cruel husband and his friends. It is a story of Daisy's infatuation for a man and her disillusionment at hh none too reluctant hands. The flight is her flight away from all that which has hurt her so deeply back to ·the Chicago where she had plaved on Clark Street and which she understands. It reads Jlke ~ fairy tale Susan B.
