that spare jaws and determined minds in

The centenary of the birth of Thackeray
Will fall on July 18th next year, and prep
arations are already being made to cele-
brate the occasion. The Titmarsh club
has taken the initiative In the matter. and
has appointed committee to consider the
form of the centenary celebrations.
1t is proposed that public dinner shall
be held on the anniversary of the birth
day, and it is hoped that some of the most
eminent literary men of the day will be
present The dinner will probably take
place in some building in London which
is associated with Thackeray's career. An
exhibition will also be arranged in a CEN
trail gallery of pictures. portraits, manu-
scripts and personal belongings of the
novelist. Lady Richie, Thackerays
daughter, while she is unable to join the
centenary committee, has expressed her
approval of the arrangements which are
being made.
