American Life Between Wars Told By Aliens I REMEMBER DISTINCTLY, by Agnes Rogers and Frederick Lewis Allen (Harper; $5) The pattern of American life in the 23 years between two World Wars is the "plot" of this third photos'- plus commentary volume which Mr.

and Mrs. Allen have produced. As the title tips, the assemblage of 500 action shots, cartoons, clothing ads. and newspaper extracts is geared to the uncertain memory and obvious interests of just plain folks, and should be of particular interest to those who were passing from first grade through high school into adulthood when these events were taking place. Pictorial history is primarily entertainment and only an auxiliary to more serious study, so Mrs.

Allen, who selected the pictures, I and her husband, who writes the 1 play-by-play, have wisely steered i clear of efforts at interpretation or didacticism. There are ommissions of some rather large spheres of human ac- I tlvity and also some minor slips I of the proofreader's I pencil. i It's an interesting extra volume brighten historial I Four Leaf Clover Club Has Meeting i The Four Leaf Clover Club met Wednesday for luncheon at the i home of Mrs. Bill Whitlock, 1735 Maple.
