Not long since a gathering of young
people were discussing the books. pa.
pars, magazines etc.. that make up our
literature. said one young fellow:
“Well. i only read the race track

of a paper is for women. and as for as
book reading is concerned, 1 don't
out of ten
who reads a book." , .
its too bad that young man confines}
his reading to the department he-quotq
ed. ,There are thousands of mean
however, who read books. and no more
pleasurable or profitable relaxation
on rustling is self explanatory, and
goes to show that one should read, and
try to read profitably:
Novels are educational that is when
they are true to life and are written
by men and women blessed with com-
mon sense as well as literary and fic.
tional talent. When they are concoct-
ed by writers destitute of those es-
sentials they are far from being a be-
nefit to their readers. Given a woman,
young or older, who has a strong tie-
sire to experience everything possible.
and the light novels of the day are
dangerous. We compare the books
which lead our bookshelves the much-
advortised. machinemade books, the
products of ambitious girls and young-
ago, and it is to the discredit of our
own day‘s output. The novels of the
eighteenth century offend ears polite.
but (they are far less dangerous than
are the open and halfvcilod immorali-
ties of modern novels.
They call a spade a spade. instead of
angagricultural implement. but they
teach truth and honor in the family.
In the mad hunt for new sensations
the charming and clean novels of
Trackerary and Dickens, Mrs. Gaskell
and Miss Burney are overlooked. The
reason is because there is not an in-
decent sensation to be found in them.
The novel reading public knows what
it wants and gets it. it gets filth tires.
and in the latest mode. ltgeta deser-
tions and divorces, it gets abduction
and sedimtions. it. gets dishonor and
suicide. it gets murder and its penalty.
The record of sucha conglomeratlon
of misery ought not to be allowed in
a. dece house. it works day and
night in polluting the women of this
fair land. i any women because i
write for women. Men read novels,
but that is their own lookout. we wo-
men must take heed for ourselvas and
our children.
i knew a girl, who made an extend-
ed tour in Europe and she read novels
in every train and steamer all of the
time possible, she sat in every hotel
wrfippcd in a novel, she read while
her companions wandered entranced
through picture galleries, she sat in
bliss on vsrandaa reading. while the
famed wonders of scenery were view-
ed. She had a charming time. but
she might have had a better time at‘
home and a cheaper one. she could ,
have found novels more to her lilting
in her home city. -l saw a woman
the other day "arrive." open her bag
and bury herself in a novel. The ocean
spread before her, but she turned her
back and read her book. Nothing Ill"
verted her from her delightful occupa-
tion. For four of minimising the we-
man. i glanced at her book and
it was written .by “The Duchess."
isn't it a pity that the» good things
of life are wasted on those incapable
' of appreciation? Many of us would
be carried in a dream of happiness. if
a trip through Europe were among
our possibilities. sortie effus. would
not think of a novel. if the aver-chaos-
iug. grand ocean roiled at our feet.

Quoting a few lines of Mr. Dun-

“Conflicting reports have come to

What right has the author of the. let-

of. a‘ priest‘dn addressing a Catholic
Order on the Sabbath day?
Do the Catholic clergy express their

non-Catholic friends or ministers? Has
it ever been known in the history of
The Norwalks where a. Catholic priest
published anything in the papers per~
iaining to the city officials who are
chosen by the people to govern our
city? Common sense teaches them that
their mission on earth is to take care
of souls and let the mayor and his stat!
take care of the city. and see that the
Sunday law is not violated, which they
are capable of doing without calling
on the churches. or heads of churches
for their counsel or assistance. and if
i am not too radical In my statements,
l venture to say if i was mayor. and
anybody came to me stating that paid
religious entertainments or lectures
were a. violation of the Sunday law 1
should politely tell him. with all due
respect to the cloth. that l was mayor
