Women love clutter in their pocketbooks. They must.
There's other conceivable explanation for the chaos
in which they keep their purses
Give a woman key case so she won't have to
search through pocketbook to find her keys, and
what do she do? She promptly starts keeping loose
change and folding money in the key and keeping
the case in her pocketbook. Give her desk she'll
have some place to keep stationery and stamps, and
what happens? The next time you ask her if she has
an extra three-cent stamp, she'll say, Just minute

BELLARMINE'S REPLY TO

BELLARMINE'S REPLY TO
BELLOY
By George Albert Moore. (Coun-
try Dollar Press; limited colec-
tors edition printed for the
author.)
This is another in the series of
translations of Renaissance and
medieval source material from
the Italian. Spanish and French
which DR.. Moore has been at work
on for number of years. This
reply by Cardinal Bellarmine to
arguments for the succession of
Henry of Navarro to the throne of
France was published in 1887.
The contentious of the cardinal
are centered in a controversy that
never has faded entirely-the
separation of church and state.
The Rev. Wilfred Parsons, S. j.,
of Georgetown University, points
out in a foreword that here, in
the only place I know of in his
generation, Bellarmine speaks of a
distinction between the ecclesias-
tical and political powers; and on
the other hand. of a true separa-
ton of church and state" Bellar-
mine conceded that "the eccelsi-
aStical power, which the Pope, and
the political power. which the
emperor and other kings and
princes hold, are distinct in limits
and duties" Since, however,
France was a Christian nation, the
author maintained that Henry, a
Hugenot-that is, "a hereto"
could not take over a Christian
throne under the constitutional
law of the time. Readers may
speculate, says DR.. Parsons,
whether Bellarmine was fighting
a gallant rearguard action in a
losing cause" for "the medieval
concept of one society had al
ready sustained a mortal blow
with the rise of the national states
in the late 18th century," DR..

These two books are able con-

Mrs. Kimball's book is the third
in the series she is writing on the
life of Jefferson. Abroad, Jeffer-
son is more the philosopher than
the statesman, interested in the
good things of Europe he can
transplant to his native land.
The author has an extraordinary
knowledge OF the European scene
in which jefferson moved, with
the happy result that the scene
and people are imbued with life.
The reader is given an excellent
picture of Jefferson's busy house.

of his many friends.
Most lively is the account of
the idyllic companionShip, which
developed into a romantic attach
ment, with Maria CosWay. One
hopes for Jefferson's sake that
Mrs. Cosway's letters did not do
her justice. At the same time one
assumes that the artist did no
more than justice in the lovely
miniature which is reproduced in
the book.
The title of Miss Koch's book
is accurate; 1t was "a great col
laboration" as she subtitled her
work on Jefferson and Madison.
The two formed an ideal team.
Jefferson was the more profound.
more versatile philosopher: Madi-
son the more practical in adapt

ideas he shared with his older

Especially valuable Is Miss

Here Jefferson formulated the

her two royal husbands, Louis VII
of France and Henry II of Eng
land.
Across the centuries it is not
easy to decide the motivations OF
this beautiful strategist, who
having been to poets "as dawn to
BIRDS" was a cultural as well as a
political force materially affecting
the whole complexion of her age
Her path crossed that of every
illustrious parsonage of her era;
she was checked on occasion by
Bernard of Clairvaux and Thomas
Beckett. Accomplished, cultivated
and cosmopolitan, she reached out
for her objectives with a boldness
that bespoke no false modesty
about her worth and prerogativeS
Married at Is to Louis Capet OF
France, she soon tired of his pious
devotion and is said to have char
acterized the marriage thus: 81
thought to have married O king
but find I have wed a monk.
Playing upon his religious scruples
she secured a divorce on grounds
of consanguinity and almost i'm
mediately thereafter allied herself
with Henry Plantagenet, Duke OF
Anjou and claimant to the throne
of England, whose ambition and
ruthlessness matched her own
The marriage was not a happy
one, however, due to his majesty's
rowing eye, and Eleanor's middle
years, spent largely in her own
courts in France, surrounded by
troubadours and knights, were
taken UP with conspiracies against
him. Her favorite among the four
sons she bore Henry was Richard
the Lion who in his bru-
tality and gallantry epitomized
those rude. romantic days. For
her pains in advancing his claims,
Eleanor was imprisoned for Is
years in England by her redoubt-
able husband. Upon her release,
she reclaimed her seat in the
highest councils of the two realms
Royal Nurselings.
In the home Eleanor presided
over the rearing of a whole flock
of royal nurselings, and in arrang-
ing matches .that would insure
the strength of the Plantagenet
dynasty she travelled all over Eu-
rope, up through her 80th year
Like the foremost Eleanor of our
day, she was tireless.
Both of these biographies are
inescapably fascinating. Mr.
Walker, keeping his attention on
the Queen herself, has written q
compact. briskly moving chronicle,
which he has enlivened with ju-
dicious doses of imaginary but
always plausible dialogue. The
