...possibility of easy and immediate settlement, the "National Woman's Party", in conjunction with the most militant feminists of Europe, is planning to raise another issue. It is hoped that the "international woman's movement" will soon be able to set up in Geneva a committee to work for equal rights for women in all legislation of the League of Nations. It might seem logical for the women of America, at least, to bring about this country's entrance into the League before they plan to take an active part in its affairs, but evidently all petty questions of nationalism...

...into enough trouble without help. There are those who think that "Ma" Ferguson in public life was an unnecessary evil; there are those who do not feel that Mrs. Snyder was a benevolent influence in the home. The modern woman has shown herself to be man's equal in all types of proficiency, government and murder as well as channel swimming. Undoubtedly the feminists glory in the equalities already proved, hoping only to increase their scope. Meanwhile one may wish them success with that shrewd toast: "Here's to woman, once our superior and now our equal...

EAST INDIA AND COMPANY?Paul Morand?A. & C.Boni ($2.50). Perhaps when a Parisian sophisticate visits the Orient he is able to discover there an array of feminine beauty equal to that discovered in Paris, and an aroma of sophistication as pungently delicate as that with which he perfumes his handkerchiefs and his prose. If this is true, the short stories in this book are more than infinitely trivial, infinitely graceful potboilers...

...brilliance, and entertainment values are concerned, the book of "Katja", now at the Shubert, might as well have been written by Brooks Brothers, which it was not, as by the usually adept Frederick Lonsdale, which it was. This is no musical comedy equal of "Spring Cleaning." "The Last of Mrs. Cheney,"--or even of "On Approval."
