Charity at christmas.

There can be no holier sentiment at

than charity. for charity combines all

ideal, impulse and emotion. There Is
a double Joy In charity. for 1t blesses

DREW NO STRONG HYP0CRITE
Absence Of Such a Dominating Char
acter From Shakespeare's Pages
Explained by English Novelist.

Material for discussion among those
who more or less know their Shake
speare has been provided by Sir Wal
ter Raleigh's suggestion on the lecture
platform that Shakespeare created no
complete and carefully drawn figure
of hypocrite because the dramatist
had had free and happy childhood.
1T is the child" says Sir Walter, "who
sees hypocrites;" and so, as one fol-
lows the argument at second hand In
the column of newspaper, Dickens,
who had harsher childhood, was
more impressed by hypocrisy, and later
wrote about hypocrites. One suspects,
however, that there may be readers
who will deny that Shakespeare failed
to include the hypocrite in his remark
able gallery of dramatic portraits.
Hypocrisy certainly figures; one has
only to recall the behavior of Gloster
or Iago to find the characteristic, but
Sir Walter no doubt has ground for
his conviction that the plays contain
no figure dominated by it.

Then. realizing that he had been
