INSECURITY. By Monica Ewer. (Gollanez. 7s. ad.), Felicity is a
little more courageous, a little cleverer and slightly less disillusioned than most independent young women to-day, but, for all that, she is a very real person. What she demanded of life was change, adventure, danger and difficulty : even the dangers and excitements of a young journalist in Fleet Street did not satisfy her. She wanted to see the world, as an onlooker—not-from the windows of the blue train, but to swim the Atlantic with a knapsack on her back. " Is it wise to risk the realization of a dream ? " asked a friend of hers when she announced her intention of giving up a successful career in London. Felicity thought that it was, and it was this belief which chiefly distinguished her from her more cautious companions. Mrs. Ewer writes about a world what she knows very well, and a world which has a mysterious attraction for everyone both inside and outside it. Through Felicity's eyes, she describes trade shows of films, behind the scenes on first nights and—more vividly than ever, the daily search for a good first page story. Insecurity tells how the fittest survive in Fleet Street to-day : and it tells its tale gaily.
