fi x! IE SQT IgG ZA QGXQ The American Woman's Monthly Muse A paper devoted to literature, music, art and the drama September, 1939 A BOOK LOVER'S PARADISE This month, this column is devoted to an announcement of books soon to be published. Never, in all the years of our experience have we seen such a worthfwhile and interesting list, and therefore, consider it a rare privilege to present these works to you. May you enjoy them as much as we did. Miss E. joan Corley, who may be remembered for her enlightening articles on Home Manage' ment published in this paper, has produced a new work, Women's Place in the Home. The fact that the author has interspersed the book with experiences from her own life imparts to the volume a piquant flavor. It is also interesting to note that Miss Corley herself has translated her work into both French and Spanish for the benent of her many admirers in those countries. A delightful novel, Brimstone and Fire, comes to us from the pen of Martha Fink, who, as many of you already know, is, in real life, Martha O'Brien. Miss Fink, when interviewed, said, Of course, the title has no signincance. Why should it? I'm not even sure that it is original. I may have seen it somewhere. And here is a treat for our readers. Nan S. Hickey, in response to the persistent urging of her friends, has at last published a volume entitled, Such Queer Things Happen. The book contains thirtyffour interesting and amusing anecdotes chosen from her experiences while a student at Good Counsel College, among these being, The Trip to Yonkers, When My Roomfmate Fell Through the Cottage Ceiling, Lost in the Wilds of Pennsylvania Station, Caught in the Closet, and a host of others quite as good. Miss V. Campbell, permanent member of the White Plains junior League, has just completed an intimate and enlightening account of Society in that city. We understand that the book, the title of which has not been divulged as yet, is in the nature of an autobiography. Miss Campbell could not be reached at her YVhite Plains estate, since she has gone abroad to enjoy the winter sports at St. Moritz, Switzerland. In Interior Decorating-It's An Art, Miss Elizabeth McGovern tells us how to transform the kitchen into a dining room in the twinkling of an eye.
