Harvest, her 21st translated book, is little more than a literary scrap-book- Swedish and Biblical legends, reminiscences, travel sketches, reprinted speeches. And the book is not an anthology of brilliant blossoms; epigrammarians will find slim pickings here. But for stout-hearted oldsters who still swear by convention, old fashions, common sense and straight talk, Harvest will be a comfort and a quotable aid. Author Lagerlöf, like all her contemporaries, has been through the mill; unlike most of them, her final comment transcends platitude: "Thanks and praise be to God that the hard truth came wrapped in happy...
...Long, slim, graceful, swift, the Mauretania-like her sister ship Lnsitania-was famed for the way she sliced through waves at 25 knots, maintained such a consistent speed that her transatlantic time rarely varied by more than five minutes.

She is an ardent horsewoman, automobilist, swimmer, tennis player, dancer, well trained in languages, music, painting, sculpture, cooking, sewing and domestic science...
...born. For her upbringing, Doris' parents prescribed what they called simplicity. Doris ("Dee-Dee") grew up to be a moderately pretty blue-eyed blonde. Her height (5 ft. 8 in.) limited her dancing partners. Heaping gobs of her favorite dish, spaghetti, never misplaced a bulge in her slim figure. Sure of herself in her New Jersey surroundings, she also managed to enjoy herself at night clubs but rarely rollicked. Other youngsters twitted her as "the good little Duke girl." She avoided theatrical first-nights, rarely wore jewelry, occasionally affected smoked glasses in public, dodged cameras but would yield...
