vanced class OF children, the Thursday

Mrs. Sphinx. herself, was as In previous
years. the centre of an admiring throng,
and was literally deluged with flowers
by both parents and children.
These flowers making huge Dank OF

The April meeting of the Catholic Wom-
ans club was held in st. Xavier hall. last
evening, with the director. Rev. Father
Clifford of Elmhurst, In the chair and
the usual large and representative audi
once, numbering almost 800 women, in at
tendance
The meeting was called to order at 8
o'clock by Father Clifford after which he
entered at once into the development OF
the subject upon which he was to speak,
viz: Thomas Carlyle. Cardinal Newman
and Walter Pater. three names" he said.
two OF which are very well known to
our generation and the third perhaps will
be widely known in the generation to
come"
The speaker then entered into an am
alytical discussion OF Carlyle, Newman
and Pater as three distinct types or crea-
tive forces I'm the formation or Victorian
prose, which ''sum up so curiously" he
said "the three things which strike us
as being emnently suggestive OF Victor
ian prose-"
Carlyle was characterized as being the
type OF energy and realism" Newman
that of harmony and insight" and Pater
that OF "self-consciousnes working siren
uously and delcately at the business OF
4,
master was compelled 10 work"
Continuing Father Clifford said that he
did not propose to consider these three
men geographically but simply their work
IN literature. He then dwelt In a most de-
lightful and intelligent way upon the pc
ouliar literary style of Carlyle, Newman
and Pater.
In this connection he made very clear.
to his hearers, the literary significance of
style.
Pointing out the fact that style is an
indetinable thing he declared that style,
If IL is anything at all, is personal AS
one writer puts II. IL is the man himself,
the very man. Aristotle has told us that
style is nothing more or less than the
skeleton speech plus the inspiration of the
man.
LET us then consider" continued the
speaker 1.-The mechanical something
which makes Pater what he Is. Newman
what he Is and Carlyle what she Is. In
Carlyle we have the one element I'm VIC
torian prose which we call energy, pict-
uresqueness and love of metaphor. He
first sees "A thing and then he writes IT,
Carlyle had no mud in his eye; he did
have "A great deal OF grim Scotch humor
Carlyle is uncompromisng In his judg-
ments he has scorn for the weak man
and the dull seeing man and an intense
hatred Of shams. In these characteristics
OF his prose we see a certain side of his
nature which shows us the true Carlyle.

I'm several ways. In the first place IL is
by w L. Alden, a bit OF whose writing

joying for many a long day. And we had
not got further than Chapter two, where
in is introduced Gallagher, the retired

we became convinced that this was In
deed the W. l.. Alden whose writings in
one form or another have delighted thou
sands of readers In the past with their
delicious humor and extraordinary phil

1t was something OF a disappointment
10 have the curious episode dropped so
suddenly. wherein Drewitt had met a
beautiful woman In panic stricken
crowd OF Greeks fleeing from the Tur-
kish army, had loved her at once. had
been beloved by her with equal sudden
ness and had taken her up behind him
on his horse for race for life only to
be shot down after "A desperate fight
IL was something OF a disappointment,
we repeat, TO have that episode aban-
doned for the hospital and a lot OF new
people right at it's climax of thrilling
interest. But the new people proved
highly diverting each I'm his or her way

in the novel, and there Is diverting wit

through its pages. Drewitt finds the lady
