In The World of Books
With Will B. Bird
THE MARRIED LOOK by Rob- ert Nathan; Mcclellan & stew-
Readers who like Nathan know how well he,can achieve the hall real and half fantastic in story telling. He has assayed the story of a biologist. Edward. and Ruth. his -wife, a middle-aged pair, and included cleverly the 5 Edward and Clementine. The latter is not middle-aged and. of COIITSG. not his wife. The beginning cf the hook is thrilling enough but might happen to many men. Edward wakes up and looks at Ruth, still sleeping, and realizes that he can no longer remember as she was twenty years before, It was a question. then, of whether or not they both had acquired "a -m3U'led look". be losing all mam. ory of his bride's appearance and she losing her dreams of happi- ness,
It might have been that Ed- ward; thoughts were rather dis- turbing as he began the day. At any rate he had his first meeting with Clementine, and a strange one it was. From then on she came and went like a vision of youth, and the result is an un- usual romance of brilliant device and imagination.
Many parts of the book are really delightful. Ruth made Ed- ward an unhappy moment when she came home with a new hat. ”It seemed made of straw; it was small and sat up on the back of her head as though it had no real connection with her,face Several flowers enlivened the brim; I thought I had never seen anything less becoming. 011' I said weakly 'lt's a hat?
'Do you like it?' she asked eag- erly. .
'I ouldn't possibly say no, so 1 my head. lIt's pretty.' I
said."
Then the argument began. and Ruth soon sensed that. Edward did not like her hat. It ended with both tired and sad and a little ashamed. Then" came in holiday at the Rancho and theze Clementine came on a chilly eve- ning to put her cheek against Ed- of this world" once more.
This is a charming book. If you're a little tired of the Sunday papers. etc. go into a huddle with ”The Married Look" and have fun with your imagination.

BLILLETINS FROM BIRDLAND I
WINIFREDYE. mum
snowman):
No wonder Snow Buntings are often called Snowflakes, because they come to us in winter. appear to be pure white, and st great many seem to fall out of the sky all at once. In reality, they are medium sized Sparrows, and not "entirely" white. The white ground work of their top sides is covered with a dainty little pattern picked out in black and rusty buff. This plum- age gradually changes-as the win- ter progresses. The coloured edges of the feathers get worn off. and before these flocks leave us in late winter the birds are white ex- cept for black on wings and tails.
Unlike true snowflakes, Snow Buntlnga are far from silent. Each one makes a gentle chatter. so that the combined efforts of a flock sound like a sweet whistle. Few of us have heard their song, but it is said to be a veritable warble, com- parable with that of Purple Fin- ches. Information as to their sum- mer doings comes to us from the few explorers, traders. and mis- sionaries who are stationed in the far north. ,
Snow Buntings breed from be- yond real settlements, especially on the arctic islands. Natives and whites alike look forward to their return in spring as we do to the return of the Robins. They are abundant about Eskimo villages and posts, and everybody loves these ground birds that walk in- stead of hop. Need for protection from predators makes them tame. and they are glad to come close for crumbs. A door step. or the corner of a. shack makes a splendid shel- ter from the cold that continues in those regions right into July. Otherwise the nest is placed under some tilted rock, and is made of plant fibres, grasses, and moss. Feathers and down from the arc- tlc fox are often used as warm, lin- ings for.the cradles, where pale bluish white eggs, from 4 to '7 in number. are laid. Nature is care- ful to make them int.-nspicuou. by spotting them with umber and lavender.
Once the snow begins, down drift large flocks of well camouflaged Snow Buntings from the north- land. As they advance over our snow clad fields from one clump of brown weeds to another, we get the illusion of a wide white roller moving along. This is because the birds in the rear fly low over those in the front of the group: and no sooner have all settled down to feed again than the new back row rises -- and the wheel takes another turn forward.
Address And I
. Presentation
The following is the text of the address read to Mr. S. G.
Peppin on Thursday evening, De- cember 14th. at a banquet held in his honour in the library room at the Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology building.
"Members of the Potato Inspec- tion Service. the -Laboratory of Plant: Pathology and Entomologl. cal Laboratory staffs gather here this evening. Mr. Peppin, to do honour to you and pay their re- spects on the occasion of your re- tirement from the service.
If one were to follow prece- dull. I should perhaps say we hfiVe gathered to say good-bye, or bid you farewell. Such an open- ing remark beapeaks s finality that we are far from feeling, and while we are not fully aware of your plans for the future we hope and trust you may remain with us on the Island and that we shall meet you often as you have new opportunity for an abundant leisure.
"Success. unfortunately we be- lieve. is measured very largely to- day by the accumulation of wealth and worldly goods. There is, however. a second standard by which success may be measur- ed--lhat 1!. by achievement.
"A benevolent treasury board of whose hovering presence we are always well aware. rather effectively. limits the opportunity of success as measured by the accumulation of wealth. As meas- ured by achievement, "however, it surely must be a matter of pride to you to look back on over thirty years as a public official and realize that success has abun- dantly crowned your efforts.
"Your success has had an unl- que angle.-ll has not Come by adequately or efficiently fulfilling the duties-or should I say 'fill- ing the shoes'-of a predecessor. but rather is it an achievement built on your own efforts. You were in at the start and estab- lished the ground work on which Potato Certification has been built and. while in no way be- llttllng the work of others. it can, I believe. he said quite 'truthfully that the reputation on- joyed by Prince Edward Island potatoes today is preeminently due- to your guidance. foresight and continued and continual drive for perfection, or as nearly perfection as might be.
'"Now you have reached that. enviable status-aigenileman oi lelsure'-with time. good health and. we are sure. the wish to do those many, many things that over the years have had to be set aside to await a more opportune time.
"'We. as members of your staff. and those others who have been associated with you, are proud to have assisted and been a part of the work you have done-proud of the success you have achieved -halplpy. too, in the acknow- ledgrment that success has been

and the peoples of other countries as well.
"in that spirit. we Join in pre- sentlng this gift as a token of that pleasant association. We trust it will never cease to bring pleasant memories of the Y0?"-5 you have spent here.
”An English speaking people say, "farewell" or' "goodbye". The Oriental has a different way of saying it-'Go with God'-- and muy you and Mrs. Peppin have good health and many years to 0n.i0.V the freedom and leisure hours so richly earned."
