REVIEWS BIOGRAPHY
or LOUIS XIV AT
MEETING OF =. E.. O.

p. f. 0. had a most enjoyable
meeting yesterday. Mt the home OF
Mrs. Roy f. Brcedlove with Mrs. c.
E. Sones as assistant hostess.
Chrysanthemums i'll yellow shades
made attractive decorations, the
beautifully appointed center table
also using those colors in its center
piece. A delicious luncheon was
served, followed by the program,
Louis XIV In Love and War" by
Sislev Huddleston, reviewed by Mrs.
Harold A. Burnham.
The book is an attempt to present
biography from a psycho-a analytic
view point, its theme being that the
chief events in the reign of Louis
XIV were compensations for an in
feriority complex engendered in his
early life.
With this theme in mind, Mrs.
Burnham made skilful and detailed
analysis of the early life of the SOW
ereign, showing the psychological
mechanisms which underlay the acts
| Of his more mature life. The color
ful details of court etiquette and
ceremony were vividly portrayed
making the review a fascinating one
! Informal discussion by the mem
ters led to the decision that the
next meeting. the usual Christina
party to be given at the home OF
Mrs. o. G. Horne, would be an al
day one, BEGINNING at 10 o'clock
! with a pot luck luncheon at noon
followed b. business meeting.
Instead of program, the mem
bers will spend the day on sewing
for the needy, the work to be ar
ranged by the social service com
mittee, and the social committee tt
be in charge of the luncheon ant
other events. All those who are abl'
to do so, are asked to meet in tn,
morning, and the others to come
when possible.
