(line drawings) A novel that comes with a warning: "Men are herewith warned, and women advised, that this is a book for women. Women alone will appreciate it, understand it, love it. [It] is just a joyous, light-hearted account of the holiday trip taken by two young married women both intelligent yet frivolous. Having no men along, they could be wholly feminine in their observations and confidences and renew without reticence the comparing of notes begun years before when they were girls in school together. If you nurse a secret longing -- and who of us does not? -- to 'get away from it all' for a while, this book was written for you." Published the previous year in England by J.M. Dent & Sons.

Saint Bernardine of Siena, (1380-1444; canonised 1450; feast day May 20), Franciscan theologian and preacher of great eloquence who, with Saints John of Capistrano and James of the March, led the growth of the Observants, a strict branch of the Franciscan order that subsequently spread throughout Europe. Bernardine became a priest in 1404 but did not begin his renowned preaching tours through Italy until 1417. Appalled by the breakdown in morals, the lawlessness, and the civil strife that resulted from the Great Western Schism, he strove to restore morals by inculcating a deep personal love of Jesus Christ.
