A reader asks if an engaged couple should kiss at a railroad station. The answer notes that while morally acceptable, public displays of affection violate accepted etiquette rules of deportment, which urge keeping such demonstrations private at home.

New Books Spotlight The Blue Wound And The House by the River
A review treats The Blue Wound as a defining oddity, a seeker in London uncovering a colossal nonhuman figure who explains how civilizations rise and fall and urges self containment to curb trade competition. It foresees 1950 with a Euramerican crisis and a deadly gas threat. The House by the River is praised as a strange murder tale lacking a detective, where an idolized poet accidental killer provokes suspicion, yet ends with an ironic, logical twist and vivid character portrayal. From the Vasty Deep is noted as well.
