ANYBODY CAN DO ANYTHING

Laurels to the lady who can make laughter for others and capital for herself of what many might term miseries, whether they be the misadventures of chicken ranching- combined with marriage to the wrong man, a term in a TB sanitarium, or- as in this latest, job sampling in the depression, a charming mother whose ideas of finances were, to put it mildly, erratic, and a sister who could rub her Aladdin's lantern and produce almost any thing for her sister to do, from blind dates to eccentric jobs. Mary and "My Sister Eil" had many traits in common, but Mary had an imagination gifted in setting the pace- and facility in stopping out from under while Betty took the punishment. There's a beguiling first chapter which ties this book of adventures and misadventures in with the childhood background of a mining engineer's household. The author then skips the years recorded in The and I tells of her hasty departure from the hated ranch, and then regales her readers with side splitting accounts of her job hunts, with Mary as arbiter. Told in dialogue and almost deadpan narrative, they make highly entertaining reading. The book is substantially longer than the samples which ran in the SEP as It All Happened To Me.
