LOVE AND NEWTS
MR. WODEHOUSE'S LATEST
The machinations of Bertie Woostcr to bring balm to four troubled hearts' make just the sort of reading that one expects from the pen of Mr. P. G. Wodehouse, and for which one remains always grateful. The trouble, or some of it, is caused by the shyness of Gussie* Fink-Nottle, student of the life and habits of the common newt, who falls in love, and talks about newts when he should be talking about the tender passion. And there is Tuppy Glossop, the athletic, if obstinate, wooer of Angela, who calls a shark a flatfish, and thereby stores up trouble for himself. Into this arena of hearts stops Bertie Wooster, attended by the everfaithful .Jeeves, and how they acquit themselves makes one of the funniest stories told for a long time.
" Richt Ho, Jeeves," by P. G. Wode house. (Herbert Jenkins.)
