...France. Russian peasants were hostile, had to be bribed to reveal each grave. One town the Soviet Government, cooperating with the U. S., threatened to plow up in toto unless its inhabitants gave up the U. S. dead. In another case a Russian woman had nursed, fallen in love with and then buried a wounded U. S. officer. First she tried to misguide the searchers from the grave. When they found it by an ikon and paper flowers, she vainly implored them to leave its contents behind...
...result of extraordinary financial foresight or extraordinary speed in production should be informed that it is simply luck. In plot and characters Wall Street is less lucky. It presents the fundamentally interesting but familiar and clumsily treated situation of an iron-sinewed, low-born trader who is in love with a beautiful, cultured woman.

...former, in which the leading role is taken by Miss. Helen Streeter, tells the story of two suitors, both of whom are in love with the same lady.

He signs himself "affectionately sincere." Little Black Stories have been bandied around African firesides by big black boys and girls for centuries. The book is a smash hit with French children and adults. Here rhythmically translated from the French, the stories are of hares, mice, alligators...
...trouble. The scandal (which her fellow-villagers lap up but which will not greatly move the reader) enters when she turns in despair from her husband to another man, for procreative purposes only. The results are unfortunate: though she produces a son she loses her husband's love, eventually her son's respect, finally the farm. The Natural Mother is a worthy book, realistic to a degree, not noticeably shocking but definitely depressing, of the same order as Flaubert's Madame Bovary, whose tone it occasionally echoes from afar...
