THE FIELD OF FICTION

Mrs Percy Dearmer in her novel,
"The Sisters" presents a series of char
acters arrayed in striking mutual an
tithesis. There are Elizabeth Temple
ton, the high-bred gentlewoman; Rosa
lie de Winton, the coarse adventuress
Elizabeth's daughter, Ruth. protected
and cherished in home of luxury; Ro-
salies daughter, growing up in an at
mosphere of depravity, unloved and un-
taught; Hugh Templeton and Robert
Trelling, the suitors of Ruth; the
friends of the Templeton household,
Mrs. Whittier and Monica Holden. The
plot, which is somewhat out of the or
dinary is skillfully worked out; the
manner in which the fortunes of the
sisters, ignorant of their relationship,
are linked makes a story of decided In
terest as we'll as serious purpose. In
the character of Rose there is some
thing most appealing, from her first
appearance, child of 8, the victim of
her mothers cruel rage. Any criticism
of Rosalie, as overdrawn, is forestalled
by the author, who asserts that hers
is the only character in the book which
may be called a portrait. The intro
duction of hypnotism as an important
factor is still sufficiently unusual in
fiction to give decided spice to the
plot
The Sisters. BY Mrs. Percy Dearmer.
New York: The Mcclure Co.
Do not be deceived by the title, ''The
Castle of Dawn" The book is neither
symbolic, medieval nor a tale of an
impossible princess who falls in love
with a mechanically impossible
heroic hero. 1t is, however, modern
romance and a good one. Most ad-
ventures come about through seeming
ly insignificant incidents, a trihing
change of plan, turn to the left in
stead of to the right-the button Is
touched and the show begins. Philip
Elmore, on his fay to investigate Texas
land frauds for a Chicago paper, finds
he has a few minutes to spare before
train time and drops in to say good-ny
to his old friend, John Morden. This
simple act plunges him all unconscious
ly into a sea of intrigue. A little later
he performs a small act of courtesy to
charming girl by returning to her
sleeper ticket that she had left on the
ledge of the ticket window, and again
the plot thickens. These two young
persons find themselves and their for
tunes curiously and ineXplicably mixed
from this on. Instead of going to Texas
they go to the Castle of Dawn, in the
Ozark mountains, and here events
tragic and otherwise fairly trip each
other up, until the climax is reached.
1t Is a very good story, indeed with no
dull pages.

this morning witnessed one of the most
peculiar freaks o" e season, says the
Washington Star of April 20. The alu-

a great fiery star, and although 1t only
reflected the rays of the sun, the top
most point of the great shaft seemed
almost as bright as the orb of day
itself.
Every year just about this time the

orbit seems to strike the monument at
just the right angle and the phenome-
non is in evidence, and from down.

vicinity of the Star building, the star"
is visible. The strange freak of nature
lasts only for about six minutes, and
this morning it began at 10:15 O'Clock
and gradually faded away until at 1927
o'clock the tip of apparently FURNISHED
silver had disappeared and the monu-
ment returned to its normal state with
the clear-cut tip pointing skyward.

OUR GRATITUDE TO GOD.

Nowhere and at no time could a more beautiful
Easter morning dawn upon creation than the Res
direction morning which expanded into day in thi,
city last Sunday. 1t was an atmospheric dream Of
sensuous delight which appealed to the soul and
evoked expressions of admiration from man for the
wonderful manifestations of Gods kindness to an1
love for those whom He created just "a little lower
than His Angels"
And man tried to prove, by assembling to praise
and thank his Creator in Cathedral tabernacle and
church, that he not unmindful of, nor migrate
full to God for the favors he had received from His
loving hands. Perhaps to no human heart in oul
great state and beautiful city did the Easter morn
ing bring greater consolation and supremer JOY than
to the large and generous heart of our own spiritual
Chief and Bishop When, after each of the three
masses celebrated in the crypt of his magnificent
Cathedral on Easter Sunday morning, he saw the
devout multtudes pouring into South Temple
street and for blocks darkening the street east and
west, his mind must have gone back to that Sunday
thirty years ago, when he said his first mass in
this city and when but six Catholics were present
at the Holy Sacrifice.
When, nearly forty years ago, Bishop Scanlan,
then young priest with the zeal, fervor and holy
tle came to Utah and Nevada, he came to will
derness to desolaion of sterity of lonely desert
and desoate hills
Of him it might then be said what Moses wrote
of Jacob: "God found him in desert land. in
place of horror and of waste wilderness; he led him
about and taught him, and kept him as the apple
of his eye"
Looking back upon the years which have passed
away, and the vicisstudes of those early days call
ing to memory the names and faces of the thousands
whom he must have known whom the grim reaper
of death cut down, on his struggles and trials and
battles with poverty, it was but natural that the
great heart of the Bishop should feel deeply CRATE
full to God for the increase He bestowed upon his
work
Today, in his advancing years, he wears the
white lily of blameess life, and to "add greater
honor to his age than man can give him., he retains

Another correspondent asks, rs is right to dis
courage young Catholic men and girls from keeping
company with view to marriageI 1t is not right;
ON the contrary, it is very wrong. The church her-
self encourages Catholic marriages, and they who
won't hear the church fall under her ban. Mar
riage is sacrament and binds both parties TO their
solemn promises "till death" 1t is then very neces-

thoroughly, and this knowledge is best attained by
keeping company TO try to keep them separate or
impose other choice of life young people would
not be in accord with the mind of the church.
