Underneath all that light-hearted and

sense Of propriety, justice, honor, IN

existed in any one.
BY those who know him well he Will

one. and was handled with a comprehen-

intellectual and illustrated in Stendbal
ana Tourgenier. The former Graves sem
sation, the latter demands ideas. was
the contention. Mrs. Tutwiler touched
upon the materalism OF Stendbal and the
spirituality Of TOurgenier. who, taken
singly and together typify the intellec-
tuql and social inherencies Of the
age-the elemental conditions Of which
contemporary fiction is the inevitable and
involuntary Outgrowth, and 10y these
standards tried the most noted writer's of
the day. The charm Of the lecture was
I'm its clear-cut differentiations its tho
rough exposition OF the more subtle mean
ines Of the authors-its artistic analysis
and the wealth Of information regarding
contemporary writer's that was impaired.
II was a comparative study Of authors.
