...LORD OF LABRAZ-Pio Baroja -Knopf ($2.50). The Spanish hail Señor Baroja as their most popular living talespinner. He writes a little like Dickens, a little like Stevenson, always like a Spaniard-that is, with bold light, harsh shading. His story here is quite simple-a blind nobleman in a priest-ridden hill town quixotically shoulders his brother's misdeeds, earning only calumny and spite from the populace, renouncing society and going to wander, Lear-like, over the bleak table-lands with a wronged barmaid for his Cordelia, a Basque beggar for Poor Tom.

Hail! The gang's all here...
...nursery. She traveled in Europe and roamed as far as the University of Wisconsin for her education. During the War she farmeretted in Virginia. But Boston reclaimed her as a literary lady in the Houghton, Mifflin Co., where warm friends now thank fortune that her maiden novel is no hail-and-farewell. She married Albert Hoskins of Philadelphia last January, but with no Lancian translation of hymen vincit omnia. On the contrary, Husband Hoskins will set her free for the literary career that she has, by this gay token, so successfully begun...
