THE HAYMARKET by Claire
Rayner
The Haymarket is a sequel
to Gower Street, but it is a
complete story in itself. It is a
richly detailed story of two
great dynasties — one medical
and one theatrical. The time:
19th Century London.
FRIDAY THE RABBI SLEPT
LATE by Harry Kemelman
This book is more than a
superb mystery; it is a dramatic
story that digs deeply into such
basic questions as integrity and
faith. Indeed, the running
theological colloquy between
the rabbi and the Catholic
chief of police provides some
of the most delightful passages
in this extraordinary book. For
it’s only when both men finally
come to know and respect each
other — and their differences —
that the case can reach its
startling solution.
OUR JOHN WILLIE by
Catherine Cookson
In this powerful story of the
unselfish love between two
brothers and the emotional
awakening of a once austere
and isolated young woman,
Catherine Cookson has once
again demonstrated her
unparalleled gift of
storytelling.

SATURDAY THE RABBI
WENT HUNGRY by Harry
Kemelman
Here is Harry Kemelman at
his warmest and wittiest.
Saturday the Rabbi Went
Hungry is more than a superb
mystery story; it is a fully
structured novel filled with
delightful characterizations and
penetrating insights into
comparative religious attitudes
toward civil rights, suicide,
drunkenness — even what to
name a baby!

COOKIES CALL FOR CRUSHED PEPPERMINTS
At Christmastime, what flavors do children cheer? The answer
comes back with the unanimous choices: peppermint and choco-
late. Both favorites come through loud and clear in Chocolate
Mint Drops. The rich chocolate drop cookies are crunchy from
crushed peppermint candies and hearty from quick or old fash-
ioned oats. You’ll want to replace the candy dish with these
treats. Peppermint-colored stripes and swirls are designed from
red and white confectioners sugar icings.

|VTpl,
It may seem far-fetched, but how
many Christmases have crept up
on you and found you unprepared
financially ? It’s a smart move to
put a little money away each week
in one of our Christmas Clubs.
Then — next year at this time
you’ll have a nest egg put aside
for all your holiday gift shopping.
