Whenshegrewupandbeganwritingpoetry,ashersisterbeganpainting,hergreatestsorrowwasgivingup atriptoGermanyandgoingtoadull countryplace.

Alice'sdescriptionofthistroublein herdiaryis,perhaps,thesaddestpassageinthewholebook."Wehavehad agreatdisappointmentto-dayinthe matterofmoneyaffairs,somemistake ofthelawyers,soinsteadofhavinga jollyfortnightinLondonandthen goingtoGermany,wemustretireinto acheapcountryplaceto-day.ILave shedmoretears,Ithink,thanIhave beforeinallmylife,Iwentroundthe gardenandintoeverynook,andwateredthe.grasswithmytears.Tearsto mearemostpoignantagony,amark ofthealmostextremityofpain,they donotcomeintorrents,butbytwos andthrees,andeachoneseemsto break.myheart.Nowitseemstome thatImustliveonmemories,thatthe sunofmylifesetbehindthedown whichhidBonchurchfrommyaching eyes.Thesorrowinmysoulisbeyond words,beyondallexpression,beyond thecomprehensionofhappyspirits. Thatmylifecaneverbehappyagain Icannotbelieve."Butshewasseventeenandwrotepoetry!Happythe girlwhohassuchtears,forsuchasmall trouble.

asperfecthusbandsaseversteppedout ofromance.

TheonedrawbacktoAlice'shappinesshadbeenherfather'sobjectionon thequestionofmeans.Thatdifficultybeinggotover,Aliceandher husbandstartedtheirhappylifetogether.Itwasalifeofconstantwork, butworktheybothloved,anditabsorbedthem.Theyhadchildren,they hadmanyfriends,successcametoMrs. Meynellbeyondherexpectations.She wasgreat,bothaspoetandasprose writer,andtherecognition,givenher bythefirstcriticsofthedaywassuch asleftnothingtodesire.

Whilewritingworksthatwilllive, shegavetopotboilingpartofher time,helpingherhusbandinhismany occupations,andsharinghisenthusiasms.Theyhadeachageniusfor friendship.Mr.Meynells'sfriendship forthepoet,FrancisThompson,whom herescued,nursedandtookintohis home,assomethingofatenderpoem inreallifethatnothingcansurpass. Hehadanotherfriend,whobrought ardourandcolourtoallthosewho cametoknowhimintimately,Wilfrid Blunt,thecharmingpoetanderratic dreamer.Heappearsathisbestin MissViolaMeynell'spages.

AliceMeynellhadherowngreat friends,chiefamongthemCoventry PatmoreandGeorgeMeredith.She hadagreatgiftforfriendship,aswell asherhusband,perhapswithalittle lessofhisself-forgettingmagnanimity. Asoftenhappenswithintimatefriend'ships,cloudscarte.Inthecaseof caseofCoventryPatmore,thefriendshipneverrevived.InsomeofCoventryPatrnorecletterstoMrs.Meynell'shusband,hehintsthathisvisits haveceasedtobewelcome."The truthisthatCoventryPatmorewantedtobefirst,andhehadheardthat GeorgeMeredithhadtakenthefirst place.ToasuggestionofMr.Meynell thatheshouldassistMrs.Meynellin someundertaking,hewrites:"Itmay seemveryabsurdtoyouandherself, butmypowerofdoinganythingmore inthatoranyothermatterhasbeen paralysedbymyfindingfromherown wordsandactsthatmyprimacyinher friendshiphasbeensuperseded.I shallbemuchpleasedasIcanbeat anythingbymeappearinginthenew Anthology,and,asIgetnonewsfrom hernow,Ishallbeverygratefulfor anythingyoucantellmeabouther."

Hersister'spaintingmetwithrapid success.The"RollCall"madeherfamousfromonedaytotheother.Alice hadlongertowaitforfame.Her poetry,verysadpoetryatfirst,was writtenalmostforherselfalone.At thattimeshebecameaCatholic.Her motherbecameoneafewyearsearlier.

Inthatcuriousself-repressedfamily, themother'sentryinherdiaryisilluminating:"Returnedhomeandtold noone."Alice'ssisterfollowedtheexampleofhermotherandsister.Alice's religionwaspartofherlife.Her daughtertellsus:"Alreadyardently aChristian,inCatholicismshesawthe logicaladministrationoftheChristian morallaw;andasthatsheadoptedit withadeliberate,rationalchoice Andnever,surely,wassorationala choiceashersmoreabsolutelyembraced initsfurthestimplications.No'single actofherlifeorliteraturewasnot pledgedandboundbyherwhenshe chosethatlaw."ThepriestwhoreceivedherintotheChurchencouraged 'hertowritepoetry.Itwasthought wiserthatheshouldcease-toadvise her;theynevermetagain.Hersonnet.,pnRenouncementwaswrittenat thattime,andtellsthestoryofherregret. AubreydeVerewasanearlyconfidantofAlice'sverse,s,andhenotonly expresedhisownadmiration,butgave herencouragingmessagesfromTennyson,LordHenryTaylor-theauthor ofPhilipvonArteveld-andCoventry Patmore,towhomhehadshownthe poems.ItwasRuskin,however,who gavethegreatestpraisetotheyoung girl'sfirstvolumeofverses,Preludes (1875)."Threeofitspoems,7he wroteonreadingthebook,'TheLetter fromaGirl,'TheSanLorenzo,'andthe 'SonnettoaDaisy,'havedoneme moregoodthan'Icanwellthankyou for."

Ruskin'spraiseatthattime-was enoughtoturnapoet'shead.B'ut Alicewasnotonetobeintoxicatedby success,perhapsbecauseshehadso muchofit.

AfterapleasantvisittoFlorence,the twosistersreturnedtoLondon,toa delightfulwinter,whichendedintwo happyengagements.OnesistermarriedMajorWilliamButler,inJune, 1877,theotherMr.WilfredMeynell,in theautumnofthesameyear,andthe twosisterswereblessedwithhaving

"Booksandpapersbecamebetter sorted"--inthenewlibraryinthe country--"thoughsearchingforlost lettersandmanuscriptsandbookswas still,asalways,afeatureoffamilylife.

Allthroughthisbusy,happy,overfulllifeMrs.Meynellhadthesympathy andhelpofthehusband,whogavethe touchofhumourrequiredbyhersomewhattooseriousoutlookpnlife. Therewerepleasantjourneysabroad, therewasalongtourinAmericaand theattempttogivelecturesintheUnitedStates,whichsomeowoneguesses wasnotaltogetherasuccess,asitwas notrepeated.Foryearsshehadbeen workinghard,toohard,tryingtounite dutyandpleasure,towrite,.tomeet people,toreceivestrangersaswellas friends,andherhealthbegantogive way.Shehadhelpinsicknessthat madgupforfailingstrength.Herreligiousfaithwasgreat,thoughshekept itsecret,asherwaywaswithher deeperfeelings."Tobewithherin churchwastoheawareofherbreathlessadoration,"writesherbiographer. Shehadacuriousshrinkingfromthe mentionofdeath.Shewasanxious thosewholovedherdearlyshouldkeep therecollectionofheratherbest.

Iflettersceasedbetweenthepoets,his publicpraisesofherwritingscontinued ashighasever-perhapsalmostbeyondthelmitatwhichcriticismstops. Inthis,asinotherfriendships,the daughterremarks:"Mymotherdid failtosomeextenttomakeherlove felt,shewasselfless,compassionate, andonewouldhavesaidwasmadeof love,butshecouldfailtosatisfythe friendsshelovedmost,himaboveany other.Andthatthisparticularkind offailureformedafeatureofherlife isclearlyrecognisedinaletterwritten byherinherlatestyears.Itwas writtentoanunofextraordinaryholinessandintelligence,towhommy motherturnedforwisdom,andto whomshebroketheunhappysilences.

"Probablysomeexplanationissimply thatshewassoprovidedwith'love withinherfamily,sosatisfiedwithher happyoccupationofwritingthatshe didnotmakethosewholovedherfeel herneedforthem."Indeed,hers wasafulllife,familyaffectionshared withherhusband,whowasherprop andstaythroughallthoseyearsand onhimsheleaned,sothathispresence atapartymadetoherthatpartya pleasureorthereverse.Astheyoung peoplegrewupandhadtheirindividualtastes,theirfriendsjoinedtheother membersofthefamilycircle;weare toldofconstantmeetingsandreunions.

SOMEFREEMASONPRESERVES.

Ifcuriosityoranyhighermotive shouldpromptyoutoscanthelistof officialsoftheRoyalCollegeofPhysiciansofIleland,and.thecorrespondinglistofmandarinsoftheRoyalCollegeofSurgeonsofIreland,youmust braceyournervoussystemforacouple ofunpleasantshocks-thatis,ifyou areabelieverintolerance,justice,and fairplay.Thetwinlistsartsetforth inThom's"Post-OfficeDirectory"for thecurrentyear,pp.155-157,andin Thom's"Directory"(thelargevolume) onpp.816-818.

Whenyoustudytheselists,thefirst thingthat''leapstotheeyes,"asthe Frenchsay,isthefewnessofCatholic names,andtheoverwhelmingpredominanceofalienpatronymics."Turk, Jew,orAtheistmayenterhere,but scarceaPapist":thiswouldseemto be,ineffect,themottoofthesetwo ,r"RoyalColleges,"whicharesupposed torepresent,andcontrol,thetwo wingsofthehealingprofessioninIreland.

TheRoyalCollegeofPhysiciansis considerablythemoreilliberalofthe two.ProbablynotmorethanonefifthofitspublishedlistofFellowsare Catholics:themajorityareProtestants,withastrayJeworHinduamong them.Needlesstosay,thenamesof atrustybandofwell-knownadeptsof thesquareandcompassareprominentinthelistofFellowsandofficialsof thisRoyalCollegeofPhysicians,which appearstobeacomfortablepocketboroughofProtestantsandFree. masons.

TheRoyalCollegeofSurgeonsis,in onesense,notquite_soobscurantist, reactionary,andintolerant;itshows anelementarysenseofdecencyinadmittingacertainnumberofdistinguishedCatholicsurgeonstoitsFellowship.ButtheMasonicandAscendancybrandisplainlyvisibleon thelistofofficials,councilmembers, andexaminersofthisRoyalCollegeof Surgeons.Aboutfour-fifthsofthe officialsandcouncilmembersofthis reactionarybodyareProtestants,and someofthemaredemonstrablyFreemasons.

Thetruthappearstobethatthis preciouspairof"RoyalColleges"are merelyannexesofTrinityCollege,Dublin.Comparethepersonnelofthe professorsintheTrinityCollegeschool ofmedicinewiththepersonnelofthe twosoidisant"RoyalColleges,"as giveninThom'stwo"Directories"ut supra,andyouwillreadilyseehow masterfullyTrinityCollegedominates boththeRoyalCollegeofPhysicians andtheRoyalCollegeofSurgeons.

ThisegregiouspairofRoyalColleges, immersedintheirtraditonalAscendancynotions,seemtobescarcely awareofthefactthattheCatholic EmancipationActbecamelaw,ahundredyearsago,neitherofthemseems tohaveawakenedtothefactthatwe havejustbeencelebratingthecentenaryofCatholicEmancipation,andthat theCatholicsoftheIrishFreeState form93percoltofthepopulation.In pointoffact,thepersonnelofthe bead-menofthisdelectablepairof RoyalCollegesisprettynearasProtestant,Masonic,andanti-Catholicin thisyearofgrace,1929,asitcould wellhavebeeninthedarkdaysbefore CatholicEmancipation.Astrangerin Ireland,scrutinisingthenamesofthe leadingmenintheseimmenselyimportantColleges,mightreadilyimagine thatCatholicEmancipationhadnever takenplaceatall;thatitwasnierely afigmentofthehistoricalimagination.

Yesterday,bythemerestaccident,1 chancedtocomeacrosstheAnnual ReportoftheMaterHospital,Dublin, for1928.TowardstheendIfounda list,carefullycompiledbyDr.MacErlain,ofsome750medicalmenandsurgeons,trainedintheMaterHospital, andstillinpractice.Ofthese,asI ascertainedbyactualcount,about1f redomiciledinDublinand.itsimmediatevicinity.St.Vincent'sHospital couldprobablyshowanequallyproud andcopiouslist:andJervisStreetHospitalwould-scarcelybefarbehind.

Ifthiswereafreecountry,notdominatedbyFreemasonandAscendancy cliques,youwouldexpecttofinda verylargenumberofthedistinguished andsuccessfulphysiciansandsurgeons,whohavebeentrainedinthose threegreatCatholichospitalswithin thelastfiftyyears-youwouldnaturallyexpecttofindthemasprominent astheirnumbersandtheirtalentsdeserve,intheRoyalCollegeofPhysiciansandtheRoyalCollegeofSurgeons.Notabitofit.Thetwo RoyalCollegesaforesaidarenestsof theFreemasonandAscendancyclique. Catholicdoctorsareexcluded,toa Fcandalou-i-andintolerableextent,from thegoverningcirclesofthesetwo
