PERRYMAN CO. 36 Peachtree Street, ATLANTA, GA. ‘BOOK REVIEWS From an Unbiased Viewpoint. By A. E. RAM SA UR. “CAROLINA LEE.’’ By Lilian Bell. (L. C. Page and Co., Boston). ■Carolina Lee was born in Paris and was reared for the most part abroad. She is of the distinguished Southern family of Lee, the family home being Guilford, in South Carolina. Her father is secretary to her grandfather, Ambassador to France. The action of the story is mainly in South Carolina during the early years succeeding the Civil War. Carolina finds herself an orphan, the family home out of repair and the family fortunes shattered. She takes charge of the affairs of her plantation, proves herself a splendid financier, makes a great deal of money through a process for utilizing the stamps of pines for making turpentine, and restores Guilford as nearly as possible to its former beauty. She becomes a Christian Scientist and the latter half of the book abounds in the patter of that faith and contains accounts of healings accomplished by Carolina and others. Chief among these healings is the restoration of sight to a baby born blind. Carolina undertakes the treatment of the baby, giving the following instructions to its mother: “Get up about twelve o’clock every night and light your candle and put it where it shines directly in the baby’s eyes. It can’t hurt him. Then read the whole of the New Testament, just as much every night as you can for one hour, believing that everything which was true of Jesus and His disciples then, can be and is true of His disciples on earth today, and that, if any one of us could ever be pure and holy as He was, we could do the one thing which is denied us yet, that is, raise the dead.” The mother agrees to follow the directions and Carolina promises to treat the baby’s eyes every night by mind-healing. Under this treatment the baby’s eyes begin to show signs of improve ment, and pretty soon the cure is effected. This book published under a nom de plume would never be charged to Lilian Bell by her friends who have so enjoyed her work in the Ladies’ Home Journal and particularly by those who have revelled in “The Love Affairs of an Old Maid.” Now and then there is a touch of the sprightliness which we have learned to expect from this author; but we can’t say much for “Carolina Lee” as a book to read. We might say it, but our heart would not be in it. As an addition to the literature of mind-healing the book is alright. We like this author, and to show our affection for what she has been in the past, will say this: If you have to read something by Lilian Bell, don’t read this. Get the book referred to above, or next, “Abroad With the Jimmies.” It is far from the purpose of this review to occasion a mad rush of people to secure the book under the impression that it is air account of a foreign tour made by a person in the possession of the jimmies •—that interesting, nervous affection induced by over-indulgence in joyous waters. Properly the name should be “Abroad with Mr. and Mrs. Jim.” The people in the book are alive. They have some sense, some money, some wit and are entirely human. It is good to be with them. There are no morals taught—no special attempt is made to adorn a tale, and there is no healing. A number of people touch Jimmy and are heeled financially—that is all. We can explain Carolina Lee only on the supposition that the author’s domestic duties have changed her literary ideals. The care of a baby does make a difference. An Easter Quest. Easter is a glad occasion-not. This is the chronicle of a woman’s quest for an Easter hat. She had a baby and a husband, and as Easter became imminent, it ws needful that she hunt a new hat. The husband was necessary as a care-taker for the baby. That little cherub was all there when it came to absorbing the attention of a care-taker. A blotter wasn’t in the same class with him in absorbing qualities. The expedition sallied forth on a bright near- Easter morning. All was fair and lovely. The shopping district was reached. The man had no forebodings. To him it seemed a simple matter to float into a store, buy a hat and return home. A modest little straw, tucked up cunning ly in the front, a quirk or two in the back, together with a bunch of violets— ia feather and a ribbon on the side—price three dollars—to be found any where—get the right number—one glance in the glass as you try it on, give your name and street number, and all over. How easy—anybody could get one in a minute with their eyes shut. The first attempt was made at a department store—and the entrance looked like several Light Brigades of women were charging into it. By a most amazing coincidence some hundreds of other women were wanting new hats. They all seemed to be in a hurry. The baby wished to remain outside to con tinue his inspection of the passing horses and conveyances, so the care-taker waited with him on the curb. The mother would go in and select the hat. It would be but a moment. There were a coachman, a carriage, a large dog and a waste can, all waiting. The baby liked it. After awhile a lady came out of the store, entered the carriage and was driven away. The dog followed and the baby insisted on joining the procession. It was a closely contested point, but the father’s arguments finally triumphed. The minutes dragged by. The pavement was crowded and the passers rudely jostled the patient father in the role of a hitching-post. He stepped The Golden Age for April 12, 1906.
