...MUST-David Garnett-Knopf ($2.50). What shall befall the tall but beautiful, timid but intelligent daughter of a widowed vicar in a hamlet of the English fen country? Author T. F. Powys would surely bring her to harm through the primeval malice of some local lout. Sheila Kaye-Smith might supply her with a young gentleman and beset their true love with gossip and the father's disapproval. H. G.

Hughes, vicar of St. Peter's Church, Eastern Hill, were said to have removed all doubt that both Saints, Peter and Paul, died in Rome and were buried near the Basilica of San Sebastiano, sometimes called "Basilica Apostolorum", on the Appian Way. The diggers also claimed to have established that the term "catacomb"-ad or in catacumbas is the form generally used-loosely applied to all underground cemeteries in Rome, really belongs to the swale they were investigating, a likely derivation of the word being the Greek...
