fact that he discovered that the simple coun-

Tor more than twenty years Tolstoy had
r. been thorn In the side of the Russian
Government and its subserVient clergy.
Under the ban of the Church, desplsed as an
anarchist and kept under the surveillance OF
the police he was an exile in his own land
yet that discord existed between him and his
family has remained SO far mystery. His
letters to his wife throw new light on those
peculiar relations They reveal startling Sc
crets and show clearly that in spite of all his
love and loyalty to his wife she neither under
stood nor admired his genius nor shared his
phosophic views of life.
In all the 563 letters that he wrote her there
is no hint that the great novelist ever dis
cussed his literary ideas, plots and themes
with her In all the letters that Tolstoy wrote
during his forty-eight years of married life
there is no indication OF her interest In any
thing but purely social, economic or domestic
matters. Tolstoy never mentions his Peace
and War" Anna karenina" and other great
works of his Imagination except in a purely
commercial way.
Judging from the tone of the letters there
is no doubt that Tostoy loved his wife affec-
tionately and Loyalty in spite of the spiritual
stoy felt this dual position keenly is revealed
in the carefully concealed tone of his letters
during the last fifteen years Of his life.
Tolstoy's letters to his wife begin with his
proposal 10 her, September Il, 1862. lie at
that time was thirty-tour she eighteen years
old. Until that age Tolstoy had lived the more
or less dissipated life of a rich nobleman in
big cities, which ruined his health He was
so to say, bored with city women and society
and came to find rest at his country estates
Then he met the idyllic country girl and sine
so greatly fascinated him with her simplicity
that he at once fell in love with her and wrote
his first letter:
1.-THE situation is getting unbearabe. For
every day: Nov | shall tell her everything.

peasants
In 1882 Tolstoy had eight children. four of
whom were in school in Moscow where he had
bought house. While his wife was in the
country he was in the city, and wrote of it:
THE most Objectionable evil of the city to
me and to every one else is that one is always
forced to fight its false judgments or accept
them obedently-which is still worse. But to
discuss tri1es and lies is the most absurd func-
Iion which never may have an end as there are
30 many US in this world
1t about this tine that Tostoy came to
the great turning point in his views and life.
The traditional nobleman and the brilliant
novelist became a peasant philosopher and
prophet There interesting passages in
his letters now and then, as follows:
In any case | am anxious to return from
this absurd city world to myself to read the
opinions of others about religion. not TO listen

as if nothing had happened"
In 1871 Tostoy went to a kumys-cure into
the steppes. where he spent the Summer with
the nomadic Tartars. From here he writes:
I'VE live here in tent-cart and drink the
kumys. The lack of comforts would make your
Kremln heart trem5le There are no bed. no
dishes, no white bread no spoon. sight of us
would be more disagreeable to you than the
taste of a burned turkey"
The letters which Tolstoy wrote during the
period from 1871 till 1880 are OF a purely dome
tic Character, although during this time no
wrote his Anna Karenina" and several 9th, al
masterpieces of fiction. In 1881 he writes sronH
Moscow;

lowing the dinner and inside of twenty-foup
hours each card will be answered by exc
change.
No one asks HOW the cards got there. They
may go by messenger or they may go by mail
1t takes a generation to introduce a reform
in society and both men and women are loath
to be the reformers.
The most needed reform in society is for
tarium for the rest cure.
If she is beautiful and accomplished people
will take her seriously and adopt her sugges-
tions-and whether they do or not is of little
moment. woman has only one life to live
and she owes it to herself to make the most of
it. She owes it to her immediate circle of
friends to make social intercourse easy and
pleasure instead of what it too often is-a
treadmil and an insuferable bore.
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison used to tell story
of going to her own room after long, tedious
reception and finding a fixed smile on her face
when her mind tired and her heart was
sick. She described it as a CLASSY smile and
probably hundred others observed 1t also, but
she went on with the grind and like a stole
stuck it out to the end.
The social treadmill is the slavish subserv-
iency of men and women to an aimless routine
It is the foolish attempt to be all things to al!
~eoo'e and nothing to ones self. 1t is the
squrrenthe-cage procedure-plenty of mo-
$50 progress.
We need revolt. Only brave souls will go
against the current, but reform has always
come by the brave barbarian, and time takes
care that the barbarian has his reward.
The list Of distinguished callers will be
shortened, but life will be lengthened; there
will be less outward show. but there will be a
chance to furnish the mind with choice litera-
ture, and the change from the hurly-burly to
repose and rest will amply repay for any loss
of fashionable folly.
The treadmill must be broken up. We must
use better discrimination in the arrangements.
In all grades and phases we must cut out the
useless and superfiuous and make life more
enjoyable and more worth while.

give US music, make us laugh and make us
think. It is the amount Of twaddle spoken at
dinners that leads color to the assumption that
all social leaders and social functions are
smitten with a sort of intellectual gangrene
This is mistaken idea. Society people
have leisure and opportunity; the younger
generation has the tremendous advantage OF
a college educat OF whose chief value does not
lie in the things mer0riAeC as much as in the
social mixing one is forced into i'll The average
college
The social treadmil is responsible for any
dullness we have. 1t accounts for the strange
phenomenon of leisure class with nothing on
earth to do getting nervous prostration doing
nothing. We have sanitariums for people who
take the rest cure
or course in a sense, these nervous wrecks
worked harder than any navvy-though 1t
might be difficult to so persuade the navy.
The dinner is the centre around which whirls
our social system, and yet the dinner becomes
very often the most tyrannical of all grinds.
1t would be humorous were it not pathetic
to see how people try to escape the treadmill.
In Winter they move to Palm Beach or Pasa-
dena. In Summer they go abroad.
Wherever they go the grind of calls, dinners,
parties and dances goes right on.
They never get beyond the Tuxedo and the
low-necked evening gown.
There is much genuine hospitality in it all,
but there Is also much hypocrisy, sham and
makebelieve. The candle IS being burned at
both ends.
Wall Street has been called 1.-The nursery OF
paralysis" but its effect on men isn't circum-
stance compared to the effect of the social
treadml on women.
There is growing tendency to adopt the
Partisan method OF sending cards. There on
New Years Day one sends by mail a visiting
card to all whose acquaintance one cares to
continue. Who cares how the cards arrive?
They get there and are the silent evidence
that one wants to be remembered
A similar custom pertains when dimes

the dinner. The cards get there the day fol

JUDGE TELLSBOY
THIEF To REFORM
George Wiley Given Year to
Make Man of HimseIf-He
Stole Diamond Ring.

Pleading guilty to charge of having
stolen a diamond ring to give his
fiancee as Christmas present, George
Wiley, an eighteen-year- youth ar
raigned in criminal superior court to-
day, was placed under suspended judg-
ment for twelve months by Judge L. S.
Roam and told to make man of him
self.
Wiley, who, with j. L. Harris, was
accused of entering the residence of M,
Friedman, 271 Cooper street. on De-
cember 19 and looting it of $500 worth
of jewelry, told the court that he was
led to the act by his desire to dover his
sweetheart with a handsome Christmas
present.
Because the Georgia law does not
permit a superior judge to suspend a
sentence, the court suspended judgment
in the case for a period of twelve
months, putting Wiley under the care
of the probation officers.
Harris, who was indicted with Wiley
for completely in the Friedman rob-
berry, was not in court. He is out on
$1,000 bond and will be tried at a fu-
ture term. Virtually all the jewelry
stolen by the youths was recovered by
the police.
