...unique. Like lovers, they are of course right. But the passion for God, like other passions, obeys certain plot patterns-all subject to certain beginnings, middles and ends. The kindling, the cooling and the rekindling of the Quakers is the present theme of Dutch Novelist-Playwright Jan de Hartog. In this first of two novels in progress, he takes the history of the Religious Society of Friends from Cromwell's England, 1652, to Pennsylvania, 1755, and the brink of the French-Indian war. The Peaceable Kingdom fs clumsily written. Nevertheless De Hartog, a Friend himself, has managed to indicate...

Along with 54 other hopefuls at the annual Miss World contest in London, Peru's lissome (35-23-35) Madeleine Hartog-Bel managed to stay upright through four preliminary rounds. But she swooned gracefully away when she was named the winner. Smelling salts brought her to for the presentation of a $7,000 check and a ceremonial visit to the Lord Mayor at Guildhall.
