Twenty Famous Men
By Thomas Taper
CHARLES DICKENS.

"HROUGHOUT the English-speak-
ing world, Charles Dickens's
birthday was celebrated on Feb
ruary Z, 1912 In England a celebra-
ton by more than one hundred famous
actors and actresses has been given,
IN which scenes from the nOvelist's
DOCKS were represented and performed.
Dickens invented a wonderful gallery
Of characters They are attractive be
cause they seem right and natural, and
they seem right and natural not only
because they are true portraits Of indi-
Vidualss but because they are true
types. The humble Uriah Heep always
ives Every young man IS a David
Every pious humbug is a Mr.. Pecksniff
Any one who knows Of the early
poverty and struggle to which Charles
DICKENS was exposed, allowing him
little schooling, in the strict sense,
must wonder at his uniform fine writ

knack in turning phrases, in saying
things In the most direct way, is re-

MS pages are not as alive as are those

A novel by Dickens is so full Of char
acter that IT reminds US of nothing so
much as crowded street which he
saw and photographed IN words, fitting
everybody in, making every portrait
clear and every habit OF manner and
speech as plain as If the man or Wo-
man were standing before US.
In about thirty years Dickens wrote
nearly as many volumes. Every one
of them IS alive today, and every one
Of them is loved by thousands OF
people.
The secret Of the hold on US that
Dickens has, Is found in the wonderful
power Of observation by which he puts
plainly before us a great host OF char
acters and by his unfailing sympathy
with human nature. He makes US feel

- ONSIDER also woman's lack Of
pride in her work
- The great primal function Of
woman is to be wife and mother. That
is what nature originally created her
for, and the greatest and most i'm
portant work that she can do in the
WOrld-the one vital necessity that she
renders to soctety-is to be a home
maker.
and make q good home is the most stu
pendous, the most complicated, the
most Wearying and wearing job on
earth. Moreover, it is one that calls for
the greatest diversity Of talents ana
abilities, and the exercise Of almost
superhuman powers Of patience and en-
durance.
Amy fairly intelligent person can, by
study and energy, make himself or her
self into a reasonably good lawyer, doc
tor, preacher, diplomat, caterer, dress
maker, milliner, school teacher, nurse,
shopper, financier, entertainer, cook,
cham bermaid or ClairToyaut
But the wife and mother and home
maker has to bunch all Of these pro-
LESSONS and dozen others IN her own
person. She must be lawyer and judge
who can Justly settle all the disputes
that rise among her children. She must
be physician and nurse who can care
for them when they are aihng. She
must be a cook who can get a dinner,
and a society woman who can scintlllate
al the head Of her table. She must be
a clergyman who can direct her chill
dren's feet toward heaven and bridge
a player who can hold her hand with
her circle Of an evening. she must
know how to spend her husbands
money so as to make 81 look like 81
