JUST when I had given up hope, Mary Davies comes to make a third to myself and Geor Washington. For on p. 2 she says, "More than forty years ago . . . Ι was a girl of seven years old."

And accordingly we get a simple, charming, old-fashioned motherly book, full of kindly thought and real…

Chief of these kings is the O.H.O. (Outer Head of the Order, or Frater Superior), who is an absolute autocrat. This position was at this time occupied by Theodor Reuss, the Supreme and Holy King of Germany, who resigned the office in 1922 in my favour. The O.H.O. put the rituals of this Order at my disposal. I found them of the utmost value as to the…
