Richest mar- riage prize of the Middle Ages, she Was Queen of France as the wife of Louis VII, and went with him on the exciting and disastrous Second Crusade. Inspiration of troubadors and trouveres, she played a large part in rendering fashionable the Courts of Love and in establishing the whole courtly tradition of med- ieval times. Divorced from Louis, she married Henry Plantagenet, who became Henry II of England. Her resources and resourcefulness helped Henry win his throne, she was involved in the conflict over Thomas Becket, and, after Henry's death,4she handled the affairs of the Angevin empire with a sagacity that brought her the trust and confidence of popes and kings and emperors. Having been first a Capet and then a Plantagenet, Queen Eleanor was the central figure in the bitter General.

But the, dynastic struggle of the period was accompanied by other stirrings; the intellectual revolt, the struggle between church and state, the secularization of literature and other arts, the rise of. the distinctive urban culture of the great cities. Eleanor was concerned with all the movements, closely connected with all the personages; and she knew every city from London and Paris to Byzantium, Jerusalem and Rome. Miss Kelly's biography of Eleanor brings together more authentic in- formation about her than has ever been assembled before and reveals in Eleanor a greatness of vision, an intelligence, and a political sagacity that have been missed by those who have dwelt on her caprice and friv- olity. FIFTH CHINESE DAUGHTER by Jade Snow Wong At the age of twenty-seven, Jade Snow Wong has a surprising and fascinating story to tell of growing up between the Old World and the New World in San Francisco's Chinatown. Today she is one of Am- erica's leading artist-ceramists. But before she achieved professional prominence she was her father's fifth daughter, born into a house- hold where propriety and decorum reigned, where only Chinese was spoken, where family life went hand-in-hand with the manufacture of overalls, where the birth of a boy was occasion for very special rejoic- ing. These are charming memoirs with a distinct and unusual flavour, M. A.IVIc DONALD FARMERS' SUPPLY CENTRE TEESWATER PHONE 4w G. ALAN WILLIAMS Optometrist In former office of Dr. R. C.

They give not only the portrait of an indiYiduall young woman and her unique fam- ily, but they are rich in the details which light up a world within the world of America. First the child narrowly confined by the family and factory life, bound to respect and obey her elders while shouldering responsibility for younger brothers and sisters, a solemn child well ver- sed in the proper order of things, who knew that punishment was sure and certain for any infraction of etiquette. Then the school girl caught in confusion between the rigid teaching of her forefathers and the strange ways of her foreign classmates. After that the college student at Mills feeling her way to- ward personal identity in the face of parental indifference and out- right opposition. And finally the artist whose early triumphs were doubled by the knowledge that she had at long last won recognition from her reluctant family. Miss Wong's story simply told and flecked with delicious humor, is one of struggle and achievement. Throu- ghout its course are wonderful glimpses of the colourful life of Chinatown and the people along its streets; Father Wong, who ruled his family with firmness and justice, never doubting the validity of the old precepts, although as a Christian he made certain concessions to for- eign ways; Uncle Kwok, the factory worker and inveterate hand-washer; the herb merchant; the shoemaker; the watch repairer; and the shop owner who was not a Christian but would do a good deed if it came to the door and asked.
