tempered by the rare gift of genuine sympathy with
the foibes and weaknesses Of human nature and
he does not paint life harshly or bitterly as most
of his noted German contemporaries do hut with
all the charity and kindliness of a genuine hu-
morist.
The comedy Of "LumpengesindeT' hovers between
gayety and tears. II tells the story of two brother
writer's. devoted to each other and inseparable In
their work and lives. One has married a Young
girl and brings her to live in their former bacbaIor
quarters. 1t is triple partnership which greatly
lrks the young wife, whose conscience is also ten
der because she has concealed a relationship which
she has had with former associate of her hus-
band Viennese sculptor. The sculptor comes to
Berlin accidentally, visits his friend, and has an
embarrassing encounter with the wife The latter
is annoyed by the bohemian ways Of the author
brothers and by the bOsterOus guests whom they
entertain. and says that she will go home to her
rather rather than remain a superfuous third
partner in the establishment. She goes and the
husband who dimly suspects her relations with the
sculptor, follows her. and extracts the secret. The
unmarried brother persuades the married one to
forgive his wife, and says he will insure their
future happiness by Withdrawing from the tri-
angular domestic arrangement.
IL is hard to convey in a brief summary the
mingled humor and pathos of the situations Fin

father-in-aw. and Eva Speier, as the wife, brought
