THE GRANDEUR OF JEAN

There is no author whose
writings r. enjoy more than
Victor Hugo. He seems to
have such a correct sense Of
the elements essential to make
a story both attractive and
fascinating. His books cap
tivate one at the beginning and
hold one spellbound to- the end.
Of his productions, lies
Miserables" is by far my ia
vorite. It is so strikingly like
the, different lives of indi-
viduals in this world, that the
remark which was expressed
in my presence about Lies
Miserables" not being at all
like real life, seemed rather
thoughtless.

is, of course, Jean Vatican.

and grand in his character, and
