in his novels. Just because he believes
SO strongly in the redemptive power Of
love and faith, he is inclined to depict
in the darkest colors the souls that arc
given over to the pride OF intellect and
the lusts Of the flesh.
With one or two exceptions the sto-
fes included in the present volume are
worthy Of the authors genius, although
none Of them reaches the tremendous

The element of humor that Is almost

suing an unknown person. But this
story, which is characterized by a quail

Translated By Wolf Won SchierbrHnd

There seems to be no end to the
arrival Of great foreign authors The
publishers have favored us recently
with works by the leading writer's of
pain and Holland. AND now another
neutral bids for apDlaqsc-Switzcrlan
which enters The literary arena in the
shape Of Gottfried Keller.
Keller has been dead these thirty
years, but "Seldwyla Folks" marks his
irst appearance in English. 1t is odd
that keller's writings have not been
translated hitherto. for even in the
particularly clumsy translation now be-
fore US it is evident that the Swiss
poet, painter and novelist was crafts
man Of rare charm. The three novel
cites which make up "Seldwyla Folks"
are the wcA OF a skillful literary art
tst who has observed his own people
keenly but tolerantlv; satirist who
never exercises his powers merely to
exhibit himself as sapstick virtuoso;
and poet who is able 30 trace without
excess sentinentality the romance Of
the commonplace.
The Three Decent Com bmakers," the
first story in the book, is racv satiri-
cal tale Of three remarkably upright,
chaste, virtuous, correct-the German
word includes all of these-young men
whose uprightness, etc, was destroyed
by their madiy cautious competition

The much abused word dramatic is
peculiarly applicable 10 Dostoevsky's
literary style. His action, rapid and i'm

themselves easily to the stage, and it
is easily understandable that drama

created unforgettable pictures of great
power and beauty. Any one who has
felt the magic OF Dostoevsky's style its

 WEBSTER ENTERTAIN

The Minson home was the scene of an evening bridge party given by Mrs. R. K. Minson and Mrs. John Webster last Monday evening. The rooms were decorated in honeysuckle, roses and sweet peas and presented a most re- freshing appearance. Twelve tables of bridge were placed conveniently about the rooms and before S:30 four dozen ladies were busily bidding their various hands. Five games were play ed and at the end of that time the f. nal tallies showed Mrs. Kelly had won first prize, a handsome pair of cut glass bud vases, and Mrs. Gordon Bull lock stood second winning a cut glass vase. Supper was served at eleven o'clock and consisted of creamed chicken in patty shells, Saratoga pc tatoes, sandwiches, cheese strawa olives and an ice, cake and coffee.
