Lectures of Ivan Turgener.

In his lecture on Ivan Turgenev"
before the New-Century Club on Sat
urday afternoon, Umfreville Wilkin-

tween the writings OF this great Rus
sian writer and those Of Tolstoy, that
that Tolstoy wrote with a purpose of
teaching moral, while Turgenev
wrote merely to paint an artistic pic
mre. Mr.. Wilkinson said that Tur-
genev's work made as great a plea
for the poor aud down-trodden as
did Tolstoy's, because his art was
realisis. AS points Of style he men
toned Turgenev's grace and sim
plicity, and his keen epigrams.
