Do you remember the last newsy, Jolly letter you got from your best correspondent? You had watched the mallbox for days and sputtered over adverttsements that looked like lot- ters and bills that turned out at least a fourth bigger than you thought they would be and then IT appeared. You knew the handwriting as far away as you could see the envelope and soon you were exclaim- Ing over the news that somebody was engaged and somebody else liad a brand new auto and your cousin had Rone to Ilorlda and fhat they won the last big game at college, And then after you had read it through again to be sure you hadn't missed ;x'ny tdbits you sald, “Well, that was )‘L-;.'r:lcut lettof! It sounds just like And then you begin to think how g'ad you were that there was such 4 thing* as real personality to re- convince one that life Iy worth living, Then you begin to wonder how anybody ever gets on without iriends, the Kind one pan talk to without words or even just friendly people who with unexpected flashes of humor or a particularly cordial “Thank you" do so warm the cock- les of one's heart, ! And_as you thought about rfce people you had known you realize with a start what quantities of them never really existed at all, people like Rebeeea of Sunnybrook Farm or Screvge (after he had reformed) or Kim, And how many more had been dead years before you were born, Now for Instance take Charles Lamb. If you've read Dream Child- ren and Old China and his letters and his life by E. V. Lucas and Alice Brown's latest play about him you feel that you know him for quaint twists of humor, and that steady un- dercurrent of affection for his sister, and his sticking to a job he loathed, and his weakness for puns and old books and old friends and smoking. Why, he's the reallest person one ever knew! And then there's Joshua Barney whom Paine has just brought to light in a most exciting tale about this boy of Revolutionary days who went away to sea as cabin hoy and after extraordinary adventurings came back as master of the ship, Or there's the little German boy always making queer toys and spoil- ed by the Grossmiutter who grew in- to a young radical and was forced to flee to America where he became the electrical genius whose loveable eccentricities are common property at the General Electric Company in Schenectady, All this and more is to he found in Charles Proteus Stein- wetz by J. W, Hammond. Though no two men could be more different in their work, there is some of the same simplicity and lovable quality in the great medern prophet of India whose personality shines so convincingly through the little book Mahatma Gandhi by Romaln Rol- tand. It may be that you prefer movie stars to either highbrow authors or mysties. Mrs, Talmadge writes most entertainingly of the youthful tribu- lations and ecscapades of her three famous daughters, Norma, Con- stance, and Natalle, in her book on The Talmadge Sisters. You can't conceal the fact that ,T. R, was once your youthful idol and though later years may have made you a bit more critical you dan’t help loving him anyway. He is particularly irresistible in his boy- ish, enthusiastic letters written to his sister, Mrs, Crowles, These have heen - recently collected and include those written from the time he was twelve until just before his death. The book is called Letters from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roose- t Cowles, 1870-1918, Archle Butt who was personal aide to Roosevelt gives such inter- esting sidelights om his personality and the mefi whom he gathered ahout him. These Letters of Archie Butt have been published recently ang have made quite a stir in offi- cial circles, Writers from other countries have a way of understanding our great men better than we do ourselves, Charnwood has made one of the most enduring portraits of Abraham Lincoln in his biography of him and Drinkwater’'s play about him is a classic. Now Leon Bazalgette has o Thoreaugh Bachelor ‘of Nature, written in beautiful dignified prose, revealing both the spirit of the mar and the few characteristic outward cvents of his life. Equally significant is his life of Walt Whitman. William LeQueux, a well known writer of detectlve stories has had ibout as choice and varied assort- ment of experiences as one man could hope to achieve in a lifetime. These are wrijten up in a gossipy, anecdotal way under the intriguing {itle of Things I Xnow About Kings, Celebrities and Crooks. 1t you like sparkling, original and altogether charming letters, don't fail to read Clyde Fitch and His Let- ters edited by Virginla Gerson and Montrose Moses. William James and Thomas Huxley have something the <ame richness of personality which hows through their letters. With he latter two particularly one has a cnse of growing up With them and ccls almost personal loss af‘the end it such abundant lives. One has only to Jook over a page { Who's Who to realize how little he outward evenits of life mean. iamaliel Bradford reallzes this and is *“psychographs” tell almost \othing of what people did or where hey went and yet he succeeds in ¢iving us the most intimate and con- vincing impressions ot distinctive versoifality. Perhaps souls are not as “pare” or as “damaged” as they «em to him and it may be that his portraits are “Interesting if so.” They are nevertheless entertaining and provocative in his volumes: Bare Souls, Damaged Souls, Portraits of American Women, Confederate Por- praits, ete. Genulneness and no attempt to re- construct the past from letters ot eontemporary documents form the feymote of an honest winning reve- fation of a woman who found life pard but who looked back with a fonsd of triumph #4 her trials as a circult rider’s wife, Moreover a very e The prevalent st}'aight lines are shown in the white: georgette costumé at the right. | In the center, the evening froek is of apple green chiffon, trimmed with tiers of metal lace. \ NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY .
