This article focuses on some books. "I Pose," by Stella Benson is an exuberant and at times witty, but too often merely sprightly, extravaganza of unreal life. The hero is the whimsical and irresponsible young man who has been so popular in recent fiction: the young man--who, with a heart of gold, gives his energies to the problem of always saying and doing the unexpected thing. He is called "the Gardener," and starts upon his adventures as here recorded in company with a flower in a pot, which he calls Hilda. "Persuasive Peggy," by Maravene Thompson is a series of marital episodes demonstrating how to have one's own way though marriage, and amounting almost to a handbook for young wives.
