“Mother Mason” Reviewed by : Mr. Gibbs Hava American Daughters Forgotten How to Blush and Can They Dine With* out a Cocktail?. Her* A lerlcan daughters forgot ten how to blush on occasion, and are they unaccustomed to a dinner without the Introductory “cocktail? Lins up and take Tour sides for the controversy is on? It comes about over the book re cently published by Appleton and written by Bess Streeter Aldrich of Elmwood under the title, "Mother Musdh." Phillips Qlbbs of the New York Times book review column recently gave a third of a column to "Mothe^ Mason,” a compliment of high order regardless of what he might eay after that,' He heads hie remarks, "Ne braska Folks.” Mr. Gibbs asserts that Mother Ma son belongs to the kind of Nebraska folk*- who bump themselves along over the Lincoln highway to the movies every night; that Mother Ma son helon,;' to the old age of mothers whoU'occasionally erupt Into self-ex pression only to find their happines3 In sapdwich-maklng. All of which may he regarded as legitimate comment. But he says further that Mother Mason's (laughters are as far from the 1924 model of young lady as Capitol City, Neb.. Is from New York. He says the American facily In print is either morosely or Jocosely boring and that happily Mother Mason be longs to the lesser of the two evils. The Mason girls are normal, crea ture* concerned with their friends, their homes, their little gayeties and occupations. They are not bored, saflated or deaneden Into insensibil ity with a mad, unnatural social life. bo such girls longer exist? We thtnk they do. In Nebraska, and we have no doubt a few of the variety could be found even In New York. For Church Suppers. Vital Gelatine Cream Salad for 50. (Chicken or tuna fish may he used.)
