Triangle

TOGETHER AGAIN--Helen Grace Carlisle--Cape & Smith ($2).

The people in this novel have no names, but it does not matter. Author Carlisle keeps her story to such a sharp point, keeps attention so centred on the three characters of her triangle that you can not get mixed up. The girl and the boy were in college together; he was in love with her, but they were both too young. When she hurt her foot in an accident and went away to Manhattan to have it treated, she stayed there and got a job in a research laboratory. When the doctor she worked under was made head of a bacteriological research institute he took her to France with him as a member of his staff. The boy worked his way over and joined her. Then she was in love with the boy, but the doctor was too strong for her. The boy found them one morning in her room. He went away to Germany, and was killed in a Communist uprising. The doctor and the girl came back to the U. S. When she found she was pregnant she agreed to marry him. But by some near-miracle the child turned out to be the boy's; in spite of the doctor they were together again.

Helen Grace Carlisle writes of emotional situations emotionally. Her strength: that she controls a flowing pen that might run away with her. Her weakness: that her black-and-white sketches have no shading.
