...PLEASURE-Elisabeth Inglis-Jones-Doubleday, Doran...
...TICKET-Eugene O'Brien-Doubleday, Doran ($2). Late of the U.S. Navy (machinist's mate), hard-muscled Author O'Brien wrote as honestly about sailors in his first novel (He Swung and He Missed) as Steinbeck does about farm hands.

The young man writes books, from which he gets too little money; the young woman works very hard and is very "gallant." The arduous simplicities of their living and their small adventures are described in great detail; they have a baby; they are very happy indeed. Warm readers will find the tale disarming; cool readers may wonder whether love so nearly cloudless is interesting enough...
