PRES. 3000 Rooms »n SOUTHERR HOTELS BOOK REVIEWS Maria Monk, author of the “A w f u 1 Disclosures,” resulting during the latter part of the last century in a wave of anti-Cath olicism, is all but forgotten, and her book regarded as just another written for the sake of revenue and fame. The story, AND DOWN THE DAYS, by John Louis Bonn (Macmillan Co., N. Y., $2.50) is about one of her daughters, Eliza beth St. John, who inherited her mother's sense of scheming and her hatred for Catholics, but who ended her life by living in that religion. This dramatic story is true. Even original names are used. It is based on the autobiography of the widojved Mrs. Eckel, the former Elizabeth, and'on informa tion gathered from her acquaint ances. The title is taken from words contained in Francis Thompson’s “The Hound of Heaven,” and the author has made the theme of the poem predominant in the story. Whether in her home in Connecti cut, in New York or Paris; wheth er in the court of Louis Napoleon II, in her own apartment, or with her elite friends, Elizabeth was constantly hounded, try as hard as she might to forget and deny God, or to hide her real identity on the course of her rise in social prestige in Paris circles. Money and power were her loves. But Genevieve, her daughter, and La- ferriere, a Parisian, conquered her heart and broufht her to God. This is a penetrating story of a wily woman, who at one time pos sessed poverty, then a spirit of reckless cunning, money and a not too favorable name. But she had a conscience, and in spite of her efforts to kill it, it was kept alive and houded down of her life until the ‘Hound of Heaven” fin ally conquered. A WOMAN WRAPPED IN SI LENCE, by John W. Lynch, (Mac millan Co., N. Y., $2.00) is a nar rative poem of the greatest woman in all history, the Mother of Christ. The story of her life is taken up early in the year of the birth of Christ and ends after the close of His life on earth. The verses arc resonant with deep, beautiful thought. No fanciful thinking or legendary colorings were allowed in them. The poet adheres to fact. The beauty in the thought comes from its truth. He puts himself into every word and fills every line with happy expressions and meaningful phrases that could have resulted only from long meditation. As we read this beautiful story and become poetically familiar with the Mother of Our Redeemer, our love for this Immaculate per sonality increases. "Our generation finds it hard to think Of her as one of us . . . .” Twenty centuries of grateful love have made that so. But this poem tells us truthfully, and by it wc realize more fully that she suffered as we suffer, she loved as we loved, she was flesh and blood even as we are flesh and blood. But in one thing she was not like us — she was Immacu late, perfect. Next to the Bible and The Ques tion Box, a book that should be in every Catholic home is THE MASS, by Rev. Joseph A. Dunney, (Macmillan Co., SI.25). Cardinal Newman wrote: “To me nothing is so consoling, so piercing, so thrilling, so overcoming, as the Mass, said as it is among us. I could attend Masses forever and not be tired, ft is not a mere form of words — it is a great action the greatest action that can be on earth.” This Mass that inspired New man has also been the source of inspiration that brought fame to poets, writers, and musicians for 19 centuries. Many others who learned to love it are now saints. Its greatness will remain to the end of time. To arrive at a thorough under standing of the Mass is hardly possible without a study of the meaning of the prayers recited, the movements and actions per- ESTES DOREMUS, president of the Atlanta Branch of the Catho lic Laymen's Association of Geor gia, has in that capacity been elected a member of the Presi dents Club of Atlanta, an old or ganization which has as its mem bers heads of the various organi zations and associations in that Georgia city.

Many of these prayers, actions and ornaments date back to days even before Christ. Many have been added on through the cen turies. This book is an excellent study of each part of the Mass and its significance. In it we are carried back to Apostolic days, to the days of the Catacombs, wheix-many of the symbols of the Mass originated. The book is also devotional in explaining how best to attend this service to obtain its full benefits. Its worth is also in part signified by the fact that since 1924 it has gone through eight editions. W. L. SCHMIDT MARRIAGES o PORTER-GEORGE O —O COLUMBIA, S.
