Mansfield earlier had suggested
limiting the beef imports which
stockmen say-and the record
bears out-are cutting deeply in

THE INNOCENT CURATE,

AAAA1 ANANOSLANA NCINt Cs
BY Paris Leary. Double
day; 1885,
Liturgical m u sic blasting
stereophonically from a hi-fi
set, a door knocker of St. Pc
ter upside down on the cross,
and anchorite cells with mod
ern toilets are part of the back
ground of this giddy comedy
Of manners from which unex-
pectedly emerges a thread of
serious Christian allegory.
The locale is a high-church
Episcopal parish in upstate
New York, which is shep-
herded by a Machiavellian
priest and dominated by a
millionaireSS dowager who
has a particular fondneSS for
the more bizarre expressions
of medieval piety. Wandering
quietly amidst these leaders
and the sheep of the parish is
the innocent curate. He is a
serious, well adjusted, all
American boy named Sonny
Ball, who, in the middle of a
church dance at the local
country club, suddenly re-
ceives the Stignata.
At this point the tone of the
story begins to shift from
farce to pathos. Although the
comic spirit is deity main
tanned, the ridiculous charac-
tiers begin to reveal an essen
tial humanity. The previous
ludicrouS manipulation of
Christian symbolism now
feeds into what has become a
drama of spiritual death and
resurrection, with Sonny, as
his name indicates, as a kind
of unaware and dociIe Christ
figure.
This combination of motifs
is difficult to bring off, but

THE THREE SIRENS. By
Irving Wallace. (Simon &
Schuster; $3.50
Irving Wallace's latest Of
fering does for anthropology
what his earlier opus, 1.-THE
Chapman Report" did for so
GEOLOGY. Taking a mere $50
pages to do so Mr.. Wallace
tells the story Of a field trip
led by DR.. Maud Hayden,
Americas foremost anthro-
pologist, to a hidden island
paradise in Polynesia. The
islanders, whose ancestors in
clude a colony Of 18th-century
English Utopia-seekers, are
an attractive and civilized
people. They must also be
psychic, since they speak ex-
cellent modern English, al
though the islands have been
exposed to no outside linguis-
tic influence for $50 years.
Needless to say neither the
author nor his crew of scien-
lists is the least bit interested
in minor matters of philology.
What does interest them is the
relaxed but highly organized
code of sexual behavior that
flOurishes among the local pop
ulation. 1t is my painful duty
to report that the team does
not carry on its field work in
that spirit of objective inquiry
favored by the American
Anthropological Association.
Small wonder, though, consid-
ering some Of the Odd-balls
assembled by Mr.. Wallace for
this investigation. They in
clude a latent homosexual, a
mama'S boy, a big
hearted nymphomaniac, and,
so help me, a frigid lady
psychiatriSt. The latter pro-
vides the only really amusing
(unintentionally) bit in the
whole interminable proceed
ings, when she attempts to
apply her strictly Freudian
technique Of analysis to a
brawny young islander who is
having trouble with his wife.
1t is one Of the more ludicrous
moments of modern fiction.
Although 1t is not easy to
make sex seem such a crash
ing bore. Mr.. Wallace's pedes-
trian prose and relentless
rehashing Of material have
succeeded admirably. The au-
thor specifies that none of
the many eminent anthropoI-
ogists he quizzed during his
research had any idea how
their information was going
to be adapted to the uses
of his story. There must be
quite a collection of google
eyed anthropologists around
the country. now that publ
cation day has come and gone.

Be He God or Devil,
Cat Is Mans Friend
CULT OF THE CAT. By Pa

CULT OF THE CAT. By Pa
tricis Dale-Green. though
ton Mifflin; So
OF the mum erous books
about cats which have been
published in recent years
and, as an ardent admirer of
telts domesticd I've read
many Of them-this is the
only one I've ever seen which
is scholarly, even profound.
Since the revival Of the cat
as a worthy companion, a
subtle and unorganized mo-
ment which has lifted It above
a mere hearthside appurte-
nance and a buffer against TO
dents, most Of the books have
been on the cute or whimsical
side, often accompanied by
photographs or drawings bet
ter than the texts.
Varied Feelings
Mrs. Dale-Green has delved
into anthropology, mythology,
legend and come up with a
fascinating account of what
the cat has meant to man
ever since it was domesticat-
ed, to a certain extent, by the
ancient Egyptians. The cat
has been, variously, in the
course Of the recorded centu-
ries, a sacred animal, even a
goddess, a consort of witches
and d e m ons, a form into
which sorcerers and witches
could turn themselves with
the magic Of the Devil. 1t has
been treated with lavish care
and butchered barbarously to
ward off evil spirits.
No animal intimately asso-
ciated with man has been so
closely woven into his folklore
or inspired such contradictory
opinions and feelings.
The author points out that
1--WE love cats because they
are good companions and use
full mousers or that we (say)
we hate them because they
kill or MAIN birds and are
ungrateful or sly. But both
these statements are rational
izations, for it is obvious that
cats excite irrational feel
ings." She adds that "the cat
has always stimulated peo-
pies imaginationS, attracting
to itself a colorful and lively
stream Of myth, folklore, leg
end and fairy tale. 1t has
had fantastic powers attribut-
ed to it which have resulted in
its being used in secret rites
of both white and black magi-
Clans" (She means benevo-
lent high priests or witch
craft. } "Cats have never been
ignored; people have always
felt something about them"
People may feel Indifferent
about dogs, horses or Gagged
birds, she explains, but sell
dom about cats.

right, even to the taper of the

which she possesses without
owning by merely saying the
exotic names of the stones,
peridor, tourmaline, spinel,

about dogs and cats and all
other kinds of animals and
birds without repeating what
she has written all her life,
for unlike other writer's about
animals, her creatures are
never types; if she were alive
now, the dog she saw today
she would draw in phrases as
different from her old ones as
the old dogs were different
from the new.

Christian AIIegory
In q Giddy Comedy

Leary'S comic imagination
and ingenuity make 1t partly
successful. Although at times
his literary and theological
sophistication do not quite
ring true, his sense of the ri
diculous is genuinely acute. It
is in his attempt to elevate
the ridiculous to the sublime
that he is least successful.
Scenes such as the one in
which the Devil in the form of
a professional fund raiser, is
exorcized by one of the dow
ayers authentic medieval rel
les are maSterful, but when
Leary relinquishes the comic
he loses a sense of proportion
as well, and what is intended
as pathos b e c ON e S merely
turgid.
