There is a fascination about a
sea-going novel that one can never
resist. And such a book is "THE
MANATEE" written by Nancy
BrulT.
Nantucket at the peak of her
great whaling days is the locale
for this interesting and entertain
ing novel and THE MANATEE is
ihe name of Jabez. Kolgcr's beloved
ship. Jabez be;, an his whaling life

this, his first trip, that he had
something come into his life which
changed his outlook lor all time.
Very seldom, there came a
lucid interval when his tender
nature returned briefly and it

moods that he courted and

"Home Of Better Values"
one time jilted Judy's husband,
complications began to raise their
ugly heads in wild confusion.
ORCHARD HILL is timely; its
setting is unusual and it is a book
that will keep you holding light
until you regretfully come to the
end.
There are so many new
novels appearing on the mar
ket that one is a bit bewildered
after the dearth during the
dark days of the war. But it
seems as though the delay in
publishing new books during
the duration has had good ef
fect, for all of the present out
put is way above the average.
Such is the newest one of
Compton Maekensie's books,
"THE NORTH WIND OK
LOVE" which has just been
released. To the legion read
ers of his Four Winds of Love
saga, of which this novel is a
separate and distinct i;nit,
there need be nothing further
said. But to new readers, this
is one of the most significant
books of our time, picturing
as it does the impact of the
era directly before the war on
a sensitive and intelligent man
like John Ogilvie.
When there has been over I !I00.
000 copies of a book sold, it iniisl
.lecessarily be good. And such a
book is HURBUT'S STORY Oi'
THE BIBLE." This treatise of the
Bible is so simply and heat:.' : fully
put forth that it fascinates the
young into rapt attention; Ihe older
generation take in Ks conception
with wider scope - and the real
elderly enjoy and appreciate its
value.
Aided to its freedom from doc
trinal discussion, ils simplicity of
language and ils freshness and ac
curacy, it is bountifully supplied
with 270 magnificent illustrations
Every striking incident of the Bible
story is presented in picture form
so that the book is literally a pic
ture gallery of Biblical art.
