In this excellent small tome F. A. Bell delves into the mysteries of the Masonic Order of the Eastern Star including the role and history of the women who shaped and served the order. "The spirit of modernity now pervades even our Ancient Mysteries, so that they must bear the stamp of recent investigation. Too little has been written about the splendid Order of the Eastern Star. It is almost impossible to find any printed article bearing on its history, which may be used in making an address on the subject. In this little book will be found a concise account of the development of the Order through the ages, from the early Mysteries to the present time."
