They are the chosen possession of men. —Thomas Carlyle * * * "His laughter was strange. It was filled with mockery for all things under heaven and earth, even for himself. His sister, Therese, called it devils’ laughter.” This is a passage from Frank Yerby’s mighty novel—THE DEVILS’ LAUGH TER. Jean Paul Marin—the magnificent hero— is only part devil and can be quite saintly, if oc casion demands. THE DEVILS’ LAUGHTER is a tale of passion and terror in a world gone mad with the wanton excitement of the French Rev olution. A son of a wealthy merchant, Jean and his father have quarreled over Jean’s hot-headed revolutionary writings and of his sisters marriage. These situations coupled with the complexities of Jeans’ romantic life create a rich violent tale of men and women in a tumultous era of the past. THE FOXES OF HARROW and A WOMAN CALLED FANCY, by Yerby were among your favorites. We predict the same popularity for THE DEVILS’ LAUGHTER. * * * The latest Nero Wolfe novel evolves around a beautiful woman in a Cadillac, a street urchin and a cop. In THE GOLDEN SPIDERS, Rex Stout introduces a new kind of criminal engaged in a peculiarly contemporary and vicious kind of crime. With perils galore, fast-thinking and bril liant strategy THE GOLDEN SPIDERS is a fine detective story. * # # You keep requesting Elizabeth Seifert novels and a new one is currently on our shelves—the title: LUCINDA MARRIES THE DOCTOR. It is another rich experience in the literature of doctors’ lives . . . and doctors’ wives. Perry Mason is "up to his ears” in blackmail, murder and intrigue when he gets under way with th.3 CASE OF THE GREEN-EYED SISTER. A gripping action-packed mystery is in store for you as you read, "D^lla Street, Perry Mason’s coa- fidential Secretary handed the lawyer a scented, engraved oblong of pasteboard. "If you’re going to do anything for this woman,” she said, "you’d better get a retainer. I think she’d cut your heart out for thirty-seven cents.”—So begins the story of The CASE OF THE GREEN-EYED SISTER. We are sure that you will want to delve further into this tale of terror by Erie Stanley Gardner. * * * Other recent popular titles that we can boast are: THE SOUTHERNERS, Edna Lee; DEATH OF A CORINTHIAN, Edwin Lanham; BLIND JOURNEY, Bruce Lancaster; and two favorites by Emilie Loring—BECKONING TRAILS and I HEAR ADVENTURE CALLING. * * * KIDDY KORNER For you, Mary, Jane, Dick, and Tommy the Library has some nice new books to loan. Did you see the movie "Peter Pan”? We have a lovely new book with gay pictures and the very same story as the movie. Would you like to read it.?
