Her mother telephones the news- papers every time she sets forth on one of her disreputable escapades. The young woman who tells what there is of the story is a reporter. I hope Mrs. Taylor writes another novel soon, with a complete change of base. Her present one is Chicago, which, save for a few references to “Mrs. Cotter Calmer,” “Gilda Shield” and the Lake, might well be a city in Cabell’s Poictesme. HE title of “The Marriage Bed,” by Ernest Pascal (Harcourt, Brace), is a trap. Says the jacket: “At the time of her marriage Mary Boyd had been given a superb ex- ample of French marqueteric—a bed which had been made for the daugh- ter of a noble family during the reign of Louis XV....Mr. Pascal uses this ancient marriage bed as a symbol of his attitude towards marriage in this novel,” etc. Mr. Pascal does nothing of the kind. The bed is barely mentioned, if at all, after the second page, but what a title to catch the eyes of lobby loiterers and Pullman passengers! And don’t think for a minute that the heroine is the descendant of any French aristocracy, either. For all her right to it, she might as well have bought the bed from a second-hand dealer. The individuals with whom the story deals are shoddily sub- urban and their amorous vagaries characteristically unilluminating and insignificant. Mr. Pascal, more- | over, uses such expressions as: “It soothed him like Mary's hands had once,” “certain kind of a’ and “dif- ferent than.” Baird Leonard. Don’t Ask Me Another!
