its members affect to dcspise, but
whose tastes are precisely similar"
Anna Karenina's intimdtes were of
this circle In st. Petersburg society.
Practically forced into loveless mar
riage with Aleksei Karenin, twenty
years her senior, Anna had been a
faithful wife for eight years. Karenin
held high official position and every
thing in his life was subordinated to
his career. He was a tireless worker
and such social hours as he enjoyed
were spent in circles lest suited to his
advancement, but his charming and
adaptable wife made friends in all
quarters. While man of admirable
character, Karenin had an utterly un-
iovable personality. He was very
calm, cool, absolutely just, but love-
warm, human love-was a stranger In
his household. All the affection of
Anna Karenina's heart was lavished on
her seven-year-old son, Serozha, who
adored his mother.
Into this setting, so cunningly fash
toned for it, stepped Trouble, in the
most attractive person Of Aleksei
Vronsky.
In the city Of Moscow lived Annals
brother, Stepan Oblonsky. Stepan, low
able and popular, had a wife, children,
a salaried official position and some
money, but, being always In debt, this
fact and his little 'affaires du occur"
kept him just sufficiently worried to
enable him to really enjoy life.
While on a visit to Moscow Anna
Karenina met Vronsky.
Count vrOnsky was rich, handsome
loved his regiment and his horses. and
was voted capital good fellow" He
had appeared in Moscow that winter
and had been attracted slightly to
Stepans sister-in-law, Kitty. Kitty
was pretty and popular debucante,

old nobility. Among many admirers,
she was sure of two serious suitora
One was vronsky, the other Levin.
KOnstantin Levin was also of the old
Muscovite nobility and had known
Kitty all her life. As his mother had
died In his babyhood, the family life of
