PERELLA - William J. Locke -Dodd, Mead ($2). In Florence the most eminent art critic is, of course, king. So when lost-in-thought Professor Sylvester Gayton trips into the Pitti or Uffizi, guards jump to attention, bow low, chatter thereafter of the lucky copyist whose work he has chanced to inform with the perfect suggestion...
...political life, the betrayals, the corruption, the callow honors. He recalls the "treason" his Progressive friends played him some years ago when they backed the Kenyon packer bill instead of his own packer bill. That day he collapsed in the Senate. Since, he has remained inexcitable over the rehashed chatter, begun by Mr. LaFollette in 1924, to give U. S. politics another Progressive orientation.

When melancholy descends upon the soul, whether caused by a surfeit of real suffering, an unlovely letter, or the failure of some finesse, retreat from neighborly jostling often heals the hurt quickly...
...exuberance-with young W. B. Smith, whom he defeated 4 and 3; with Archibald Compston, by the same score-and now he was about to measure drives with his ancient, closemouthed, companionable enemy, George Duncan. He drove; Duncan followed him. Before they had walked up to their balls the chatter of the gallery informed them that Mitchell's lay some 20 yards beyond Duncan's. They played their second shots; Mitchell put his on the green, Duncan was short. Mitchell took a four...
