FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1943
New Year's Day!
And what does it mean to us?
Does it mean that we have appreciated the real
worthwhile things we have endured during the past
year, in order that our country may come out on top.
or does it mean that we want to garner everything we
can possibly gather in order,that we might, furbish
ourselves for future years.
Does it mean that the increased wage value for our
services has become the most pertinent angle of our
existence, or does it mean that, because of this privi
lege give’1 us. we are expending our extras in bonds
so that Ur,c e Sam might have the privilege of giv
r:.. us. once -• : ;n. the land we have fought so valiant
J l ' 'i .. v * : i .
Doci • s exigency mean that we are going to
s h ur e c r >ility by hoarding our wealth for
. • thought in view—or dne^ it mean that we are go
ing to use our extras for Uncle Sam in order that we
may achieve our purpose—that of defeating our ene
mies—because we. as civilians, have but one way of do
ing so—that through our purchase of war bonds.
And War Bonds are the necessity of winning this
war! Are we going to be the proverbial “pikers” or
are we going to be the loyal citizens Uncle Sam is in
reed of at the present time?
Albeit—this is the New Year!

The lighter side—
SALLY BENSON is, a gentle
man from Hollywood remarked
to me the other day, one of the
best saleswomen of all time.
Mrs. Benson sells herself, super
latively. I have no doubt that
he will tic well with "Women
and Children First,” which is a
collection of 38 miscellaneous
New Yorker pieces, and not parts
of such series as the ‘‘Junior
Miss” and the "Meet Me in St.
Louis” groups. They are typi
cally Benson, which means that
they keep one's literary innarHh
quivering between heartbreak
and belly laughs, and their en
joyment presupposes no brain
power whatever. ^Random; $2)
•Another matriarch comes to
flower in Ruth Power-O'Ma lley's
"Mrs. Cassatt’s Children," which
is; - navel Set fat first) in
Tidewater Virginia which does
not run to great length. Mrs.
Cass'ait was a beauty and mar
ried a Virginian who became
governor, died, and left his wife
penniless with four children.
She dominated them “for their
own good.” and the threads of
her tough will ran through them
into many odd corners and many
‘rngedies. This is the Virginia
aristocracy as seen by the eyes
of an Irish woman—and jt is
quite a sight, believe me.
(Houghton Mifflin: $2.50)
Frances Parkinson Keyes is
also telling the joint story of a
group of children in “Also the
Hills." But these are New Eng
land children caught up in this
war. and the particular point of
the novel is the Influence on a

New England house and family of
a (to them) exotic Creole girl
who went to the family home to
wait while her soldier husband
played out his part in the war.
(Messner; $3)
Another very pressing prob
lem is Arthur Koestler’s text in
“Arrival and Departure” — to
wit, how we determine the
right, and why we are willing
to work for it even when some
times it means death? This
sounds a bit dusty, and perhaps
it is. But Mr. Koestler is fully
as much interested in people as
he is in ideas, and he has the
great good sense to present his
ideas through the logical action
of human beings. It is the rea
son his books are really novels,
and not merely fictionized ver
sions of some abstract problems.
(Macmillan; $2)
