This article focuses on the books "From Pinafores to Politics," by Mrs. J. Borden Harriman and "Three Generations," by Maud Howe Elliott. Those who have despaired of finding intimate and unknown details in autobiographies will find Mrs. J. Borden Harriman's "From Pinafores to Politics" a pleasant surprise. People on this side of the ocean when Germany invaded Belgium strained their meager imaginations to picture the chaos of frenzied Europe. Mrs. Harriman, who was there collecting reports on labor problems, says that it makes her realize now that, the next war, too, will come to most of the people out of the sky, catch them laughing again at garden parties.
