It also t u r n s the s p r i n g spotlight upon the inauguration of the social activities of this season. May the sophomores, supported by the whole-hearted cooperation of all m e m b e r s of the o t h e r classes, make this their night—one to be looked back upon as a most successful beginning to a most successful social background for their r e m a i n i n g t w o y e a r s at S t a t e c o l l e g e . T h i s will be the second year that the b a n n e r rush rules have heen in effect at the annual S o p h o m o r e Soiree, ami we trust that ibis year the lack of competitive spirit will add as much, if not uun-e, to the success of the first " t e a l " social function thai the class has conducted as il did last year.

P . It m a y seem s t r a n g e that a m o d e r n y o u n g w o m a n of Lesley P r e wen's type should suddenly decide t o adopt a son of only four and one-half years and move to a cottage ill a small English town leaving behind her all of her society friends and much-loved activities. Yet, in a m o s t realistic and very fascinating manner, M a r g e r y S h a r p weaves a story a b o u t t h e character of Lesley F r e w c n which displays h e r gradual but definite change from the seemingly m o r e superficial city life and friends to the more substantial and sincere life of the country and its colloquial m a n n e r i s m s . T h e story carries a quiet but pleasing humor t h r o u g h o u t without o v e r - s h a d o w i n g t h e more serious plot concerning the true devotion of a real love which has been masked by exterior fascinations but which finally breaks t h r o u g h to encircle the entire life. T h e book is well written and will interest the most critical of readers. T h e c o m p a n y is conducting a contest which should prove of great interest and direct appeal to all women of the College. T h e contest, as explained by the company is as follows: " A prize of fifty dollars in cash will be a w a r d e d to the woman s u b m i t t i n g the best letter ( n o t more than 250 words) describing her personal reaction to The Flowering Thorn. T h e letter must be in the publishers' hand on or before J u n e 1, 1934.

Chris worked hard at the foundry and finally was promoted to a position in the city. H e and his country-girl wife, Joy, found themselves in an a t m o s p h e r e quite unfamiliar, but they quickly adjusted themselves to their new e n vironment. J o y became absorbed with bridge parlies and society while Chris met o t h e r women w h o attracted him greatly. F o r t u n e played her hand and the self-made man found himself confronted by defeat. H o w e v e r , as such a man usually does, Chris rose from his unfortunate condition and returned lo the farm. Miss Powell leaves the t h o u g h t with t h e reader t h a t Chris and J o y a r e not really happy and that perhaps they do not actually repent so much as they may appear lo on the surface. Miss Powell's plot is a familiar one but well developed and characterized by a h u m o r which adds t o the appeal of (he story without destroying the seriousness of the more t r y i n g situations. She p o r t r a y s the effect of the depression upon a self-made c h a r a c t e r such as lhat of Chris, how it has revealed to many of them the fact that they really are not genii, but only human beings subject l o the lot of (he average person.

Cleopatra lacked no ability in the line a r t s of using her love as power, and in this hook Gaston Dclayen tells the story of her life. T h e story follows history rather closely.
