too, that others are firing of these ephe
neral books. A young friend recently
expressed disgust with the quality of
these so.called "hlstorical novels"
which fill the market. It's Il wholesome
reaction to find publishers and public
turning toward Dickens works, and
who knows but that Scott, Thackery,
George Eliot and Hawthorn may, be-
coming popular, take the place of the
light trash now being read. Yet even
the best of fiction should be, not the
bread, but the spice of life, not the con-
tinual diet but rather the occasional {;

cal, scientific, philosophical and histori-
cal be the lines Of reading TO which we
devote the major part of our reading
hours.
Then for wholesale seasoning let us
read Adam Bede or John Halifax, Gen
tleman, those excellent portrayals of
the true gentlemen; or Kingsley's Hy-
patia, with strong, thoughtful wOmanly
character; or Thackery and Dickens,
with their pictures of England's country
life. Where else do we find New England
life better described than in Hawthorne
and Mrs. Stowe? Certainly not in the
the morbid works of Miss wilkins.

How clear our conception of Palestine
becomes through reading Ben Hur or

we are determined to read fiction then
do let us keep to the masterpieces.
