In a | former generation the near-rich copied the Delsarte walk from the nearer-rich, | but as soon as the shop girls learned it, the women higher up affected an erect gait. When the poor working girl copied this, the female limousine lizards began doing the debutante slouch. And these ladies find that Mazie, who sells them their lingerie, will appropriate the slouch just as she did. It's Hortense, the beautiful dog- catcher’s daughter, who says, “I wouldn't wear a cape. They're getting too com- mon.” Sadie Finn doesn’t go to work at the artificial flower factory any more. We should say not! She goes to busi- ness there. Everybody's ashamed, not only to do work but even to mention it. Saleswomen have become salesladies and we may yet have to deal with the washladies’ union. Madame Kelly, though chic, is not from Paris but is the former Mrs. Kittie Kelly, the milliner of ten years ago. Back in ‘91 people used to speak of “when Steve was born” or “when Pa died.” Now (poesy forgive us!) “when baby came” or “the year Father left.” Everybody strains to be “nice.” = And while it pained me to see and hear Uncle Henry drink his coffee out of the saucer, my sufferings were not as poignant as my distress when I see Mae, who was christened Mary, drink her tea with the ttle finger crooked. But are we as precise as we would have our neighbors believe? We may attend the Russian Symphony concert, or an author's reading, or an orgy of the barefoot dancers, but our ears thrown back and we're tugging at the halter. Low comedy is secretly and highly pleasing. Of course we go to the common pictures because Walter, our nephew, drags us there. With self-determination, most of us would have become workers with our hands. Divorced from gentility-uber- alles, most of us would dress, sustain and house ourselves within our means. Better still, we would cultivate a national sin- cerity. There.are many of what the too nice people call the primitive pleasures which we could take up. Yet even if we cannot hope to become wage earners, we can resign from the haughty golf club and sell the chummy roadster. We would thereby raise our own salaries, cut loose from the crowd who have lots of it in the cellar and can afford it and join “the strong of heart and brawn of arm’—the strap-hangers. . , the ultra-precise have read into the law the word, “superaesthetic” in place of the word, “ci ed” thereby spilling the oval, edible seeds known to The Greatest Novel Ever Written—by the | Most Popular Author in All the World Harold Bell Wright Vibrant with the local color of the mystic, enchanted Ozarks—The Shepherd of the Hills country. Brian Kent, Auntie Sue, Judy and Betty Jo are more than creations—they are actual, human realities. Illustrations by J. Allen St. John a THE RE-CREATION OF BRIAN KEN First Printing—Forty Carloads—750,000 Copies THE RE-CREATION OF BRIAN KENT carrics a message that will strengthen human fai.h to happiness: ‘The foundation brinciples of life—honest~, courage, fidelity, morality, etc.—are eternal facts. Life must and will go on. You can neither stop it nor turn it back.’ Inthe author's inimitable, fascinating style this message is like a heaven-sent bless- ing that will cheer and give courage to millions of weary, storm-tossed souls that have all but gone down in these recent years of world chaos. ‘The Re-Creation of Brian Kent” isa delightful Ozark story of life and love, sweet and appealing with pathos, rich in philosophy, masterful in character analysis, charming in description and intensely dramatic, not with physical combat, but with skillful visualization of the clash and conflicts of the invisible forces of life.
