BOOK REVIEW MAMBA’S DAUGHTERS By DuBose Heyward In a day of novels dealing mostl; in constrictive unity, a novel of scope such as the latest one of Du- Bose Keyward, ‘‘Mamba’s Daugh ters,” is really made up of two sepa rate stories. One of Mamba, an ol' negro woman, and tier daughtei Hagar, and granddaughter, Lissa the other story deals with tlie Went worths, “Quality” folks of old Charleston. The story of Mamba shows the shifting status of-negroes during the past twenty years; Mam ba, withered and practically tooth less, decides tliat the only way to save the rash and impetuous Hagav is to make herself a “white folks' nigger” and thus secure the influence and sympathy of lier masters. Through much work and shrewdness, Mamba realizes her ambitions and is able to sec Lissa rise into a world of fame. The parallel story of the Wentworths tells of an aristocratic southern family and their struggle‘s to retain their name in spite of finan cial difficulties. DuBose Keyward i- a writer of great insight. This fael is shown in his first book, “Porgy,” cial difficulties. DuBose Heyward i.s best pages are those describing the negroes of Charleston, their actions, thoughts and manners. “Mamba’ Daughters” is well worth reading, not only for its interesting narrativ but also for the new light it cas on the relationship between the ni groes and the whites during the past few decades of chang-e. “WHAT EVERY WOMAN KNOWS” By J. M. Barrie. James Barrie offers us a delight ful English comedy in “What Ev ery Woman Knows.” He steps out of his world of strange fancies for awhile and paints a picture, charm ingly realistic. The story is con cerned with the results of a contract -forced, upon.a poor, ambitious young! MOTHER INDIA In Mother India Katharine Mayo gives a black sketcli of the conditions existing in India today “As truth will paint it sad as bards will The author describes the Hindu and Mohammedan customs as an nn biased American citizen, and not a; a prejudiced critic. To peoph living in a civilized and progressive country the facts set forth in thii book seem almost inconceivable, but, in reality, tliey fall far short of the truth. The evils of child-marriage and the caste system are vividly portrayed. Superstition and ignor ance abound everywhere. The' ligion centers around Brahman wor ship, which involves sacrifice to blood-thirsty Laki, Because of cient traditions, the people suffer necessary agony, botli physically and mentally. Unfortunately, the In dian.? scorn the British government, which has been the only active agen cy for promoting education and liv ing conditions. Why is liglit denied THE INVOCATION OF THE FRESHMAN SALEMITE STAFF Though I speak as a representa tive, of the Saleiaite Freshman staff, and am a member of the Freshman Class, I become as shaking as the dead leaves on a tree when I think of the ta.sk set before me. And tliough I may not have the gift of writing and do not understand all arts and mysteries of newspaper writing, unless I razz you Sopho mores, I shall be nothing. The Sophomores seeketh revenge upon the Freshmen for a long, long, time, and were not kind. The Soph omores think right much of them- ■selves and are qiute puffed up. They rejoiceth not in the Freshman court; but they did enjoy themselvc.‘- in the Sophomore court. They )nm- ished all freshies, criticized all fre.shies, and ridiculcd all freshies. The Sophomores shall forever be razzed by the Freslimen; whether they be sisters, cousins, or brother’s sweethearts. For even though we do love them dearly, and we do love to do their works so much, when they become sophs then that love W'hicli we have for them shall be done away When tlie Sophs were high school girls, they spoke as high school girls, flirted as high school girls and acted as high school girls; bu when they became the matronl; sophs of Salem College, they put away high school girl eharae For no; And now at Salem College abidetli Seniors, Juniors.
