Buses Stop at PENNA. R. R. STATION ALTOONA Linas GREYHOUND Book Review By EDRIE ANN MORSE Egypt, not in war time, but at its romantic beat, is the unusual setting for "Spell of Egypt," by Victoria Wolf. An intimate revelation of a woman in love.

Sonya, a dynamic young Russian exile in the London of the early 1920's, suddenly gets a position to go as a secretary to Roger Conway, a noted Egyptologist, on an expedition just forming to attempt to find more tombs in the sands the kings where the tombs of Ramses and Thutmosis and were found. This is amazing luck, for she has always dreamed of Egypt as another person might of wealth or success. A casual fortune-teller at Groppi's Bar in Cairo, prophesies tragedy for the expedition: "Six others will die first." she tells Lord Eversham, its chief, "six who are depending on you, and you will be the seventh." The tragedy will be accompaaied by great triumph and achievement. With that prophesy although most, most of the party take no stock in it--the work begins, all the mystery and excitement of hunting for an unknown tome. Songs, only woman member of the group.

realizes that she loves Roger Conway. an enigma of a man, respected, even idolized by his colleagues, but aloof and selfcontained. There are many difficulties the prophecy of the seventh deaths begins to bear its fruit; jealousies appear; trouble with the workman; Sonya falls ill; Conway discovers himself in love with her. The love story forms the central core of "Spell of strange revelation of love and trust developed by dramatic circumstance. In some lives no adventure comes, perhaps because they do not invite it.

In others, adventure is the rule. Sonya is one of these, and because she is. knows it, and understands it. "Spell of Evypt" is more than an absorbing romantic novel; it is a revelation of an adventurous women's spirit. Relaxing? You bet it is!
