ANTON, CAL. _The Private Life of a Strip Tease Girl._ pbo, Beacon 1959, scv. Just what it sounds like. Among her many “affairs” is a brief episode with another girl.

BALDWIN, MONICA. _The Called and the Chosen._ Farrar, Straus _&_ Cudahy, N. Y., 1957, pbr Signet 1958. A good study of repression and frustration in convent life, containing passim the story of Sister Helena, novice-mistress; although her behavior was strictly correct even for a nun, she once inspired such violent passions in her juniors that she was removed from this office. The heroine refers to Sister Helena, after her death, as “the one human being I ever loved”.
