MRS. BEAVERS REVIEWS

X-
‘This / a travel book by child-
ren for /grownups,” feaid Mrs. Sam
Casey Jof ‘\Around -the World in

as sh/ reviewed the dnusual, interest-
ing £nd comicaLJabok that is now
bein^- printed in its seventieth thou-
sand edition., at the meeting of the
Epsilon Sigma Alpha held Monday
night.
The book chronicles the life of
the carefree Abbe family from one
short-lived home to another through-
out the world. The parents of the
remarkable children, Patience, 12,
Richard, 10, an,d Johnny, 8, are
James E. Abbe, a commercial photo-
grapher who follows the world at-
tractions, and his wife who, although
trained for a career as an actress,
forsook the stage for “Poppa.”
Naive Expressions
Patience has written the book in
the first person and filled it with
naive expressions and a child’s con-
writes of viewing Westminister
Abbey or of life in an American
school. Mrs. Casey concluded with
showing how unimportant the suc-
cess of the book has been in the
life of Patience, Robert and Johnny.
“Although there is more money for
ice cream cones and canned soup
and picture shows,” the success of
“Around the World in Eleven
Years” has not changed the family
life of the Abbes.”
Mrs. Coe Ellis, program director,
presented Mrs. Casey, following the
business session when Mrs. Casey
was appointed to represent the
sorority to act on a committee of
ception of some of the most pro- women, in the interest of the Park

C. E. Beavers, Jr., as she reviewed
the volume at the meeting of the
Senior Altruistic club held last)
Friday afternoon.
Mrs. R. E. Dailey was hostess to
the club, and Mrs. W. C. Harrell di-
rected the program.
With a pleasing personality and
well-modulated voice, Mrs. Beavers
discussed the book which has been
one of the outstanding works of the
season. Housman, the dramatist,
lived at the last of Queen Victoria’s
rule and was familiar witl^, the
reign.
“Victoria was the second queen
of England and had the longest)
reign in history. Having become
queen, in 1837, at eighteen years of
age, she ruled for 65' years,” stated
Mrs. Beavers. Victoria was left
fatherless at six months of age but
was prepared for her rule by the
strict supervision of her mother
and governess.
Housman shows Victor ia’I^itter
happiness in her comradeship and!
love for her husband, Prince Albert,
and his advice was her law until his
death. Prince Albert’s influence
ruled her entire life.
Mrs. Beavers continued with,
