Anna Karenina's intimates were of
this circle in st. Petersburg society.
Practically forced into loveless mar
riago 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 best suited to his
advancement, but his charming and
adaptable wife made friends in all
quarters. While a man of admirable
character, Karenin had an utterly I'M
lovable 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 wife, children,
a salaried official position and some
money, but, being always in debt, this
fact and his little "affaires du coeur'
kept him just sufficiently worried to
enable him to really enjoy life.
While on 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
Stepan's sister-in-law, Kitty. Kitty
was pretty and popular debutante,
daughter Of Prince Scherbatsky Of the
old nobility. Among many admirers,
she was sure Of two serious suitors.
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
the Scherbatskys had appealed to him
strongly. He was now thirty-two and,
although feeling unworthy Of Kitty,
was determined to offer himself to her.
He was really a splendid match. He
had magnificent country estate Of
eighty-one hundred acres, plenty Of
money and his share of masculine at
fractions. He was d thinker, always
immersed In the deepest problems con-
corning the world, everything in 1t, on
