Skipper Norwood was born in a lit

warm and comfortable and tride
drowsy Norwood senior would make
up his mind the fire was getting low
and send his son out into the snow to
bring In a backlog from the wood pile.
Eventually these nocturnal pilgrim
ages got on young Bills nerves. and
one night when his father sent him
out after the backlog the son contin-
ued on past the wood pile and across
country to the nearest seaport. where
he shipped on a whaler.
Nine years later Bill came back. 1t
was a bitter winter night. and the snow
was falling. Bill sneaked up to the
window and looked into the old sitting
room. The fire was burning in the old
fireplace. and Bills father and mother
were seated in front Of it. He noticed
that the fire was q trife low. So he
went to the wood pile, selected a big
backlog. carried it into the house and
stood for a moment by the fire with
the log on his shoulder.

once recognized in the most mixed O,
audiences.
This was illustrated last summe,
here in Richmond at the Chautauoua
where some excellent impersonations
Of Dickens characters were given.
Although the plays made from his
! novels have never been regarded as
dramatically, successful-that is in the
ability Of the playwright to present a
coherent picture-they have had enor
nous popularity.
Great actors and actresses are asso
ciated in the minds of the theater-go
ing public of the past and present
with certain of the characters of Dick
ems. as Joseph Jefferson in "Calet
Plummer." Sir Henry Irving appeared
in a play made from THE Pickwicl
Papers" and the older actors known
only to this generation by reputation
Brougham. Fanny Davenport, Janau
scheck, 'Lotta," who played Little
Nell" Stoddart, and many others were
notable in their respective days FOL
their Dickens roles.
Elita Proctor Otis, of the contempor
aneous stage, has made Nancy
Sykes" distinguished place in he1
repertoire.
And not long since. a version OF
"Pickwick" was presented successfully
on the French stage.
No matter what may or may not be
written of Dickens style, of his arts
tic merits or defects. of his caricatures
for he was an adept in caricaturing
of his place in English literature and
that Of the world, the one. great, insup
perable obstacle that his critics en-
counter is his hold on the reading pub
lie
And this hold is that of the great
to tell story.
For above, beyond, every other con
sideration, this is the quality that il
the vital one in the art of fiction.
However crude the manner, if the
matter has an alluring narrative form
success follows.
The world is great child.
1t loves a story.
And it loves to have a story told it
1t is the story-teller, in whatever
artistic form, that goes down the ages
What is Raphael, or Michael Angelo
or Da Vinci, or Rembrandt-but a
prince of storytelling through the me
MUM of paint and marble?
What is Wagner but a wonderful tel
Ter of tales through the combination
of sound and action?
They tell story and they drive ii
home.
So with Dickens.
Every child should be turned loose

sweet will. His instincts will never
lead him astray. He will be just as safe
with Rousseau's "Confessions'' as
with a Rollo book. The
OBJECTIONS in book. or lit
erary work of art-those things that
may be accounted such but which real
ly may be not-win be to the child as
water of a ducks back
The classics and the standards
should be given to child for con-
sumption-the earlier, the better.
Children delight in Dickens.
The writer remembers her introduc-
ton to this fascinating author, when
little girl-through finding a paper
backed copy of Nicholas Nickelby,"
on the top shelf of an old bookcase in
which she was rummaging.
She read day and night-play or
dolls or other children could not lure
her

this day she never hears things bang

Dickens is a wizard who charms,
fascinates and hypnotizes the world
Not only the world of his day but as
long as the English language remains.
