TIME'S new series of hidden art masterpieces derives from many sources, including the travels of Associate Editor Alexander Eliot, who has made four thorough explorations of European painting, sculpture and architecture, quests that uncovered many works of genius not listed in the tourist guides. In Spain last year Eliot visited the monastery of Montserrat. After long discussion with the monks, he was admitted to the cloister, a rare privilege. While his wife waited patiently outside, Eliot studied the monastery's art collection, stood entranced before Caravaggio's Saint Jerome. On his return, TIME got permission...
...thousands who visit Montserrat, only a handful of men (women are forbidden) is allowed to penetrate the monastery cloister, where a splendid art collection has been formed in the Virgin's honor.

...Hand. Last week this half-hidden conflict cracked the disciplined front of Socialism and opened the way for a decisive change in the 90-year-old party's leadership.

Elsa Stanhope who, years before, ran off with a married man, returns to spend one final night in the house. Aunt Agatha dies in Elsa's arms, first giving her a packet containing many previously hidden poems of Alison's. The poems disclose all of the details of the starcrossed love affair, and the father of the family tries to burn them, to "protect my sister." But the sense and compassion of Elsa, who has suffered through the same type of romance that Alison had, saves...
