Charles Dickens' life was vastly dif- ferent from his writings, according to Mr. Roberts. His treatment of his wife, his publishers and the poor with whom he came in contact, leads one naturally to suspect that Dickens may have been hypocritical. After Mrs. Dickens had given birth to ten chil- Evanston Shop Open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Evenings Henry C. Lytton & Sons dren, she and Dickens were separated. CHICA GO~--State and Jackson EVANSTON --Orrington and Church That fact is well known. The reason for the separation, according to " " - Forster, the biographer of Dickens, was that Mrs. Dickens became insane. Such was not the case, the reader gathers from the novel, "This Side Idolatry." Dickens, always extrava- gant, urged petty economics on his wife; his attention to other women hurt her; and his irresponsibility wor- ried her constantly. With his pub- lishers, after he became popular, he was unscrupulous and broke oral and written contracts with seemingly no thought of ethics. He who had visited his own father in prison and had written so feelingly about the horrors of English jails, once sent a young girl to prison for using coarse language. Many charac- ters in his books were taken from his own circle of relatives and friends, who were often hurt and angered by his exaggeration of their charac- teristics. This and much more new knowledge about Dickens is revealed in "This Side Idolatry," all of which cannot fail to interest Dickensians every- where.

Not the dark pictures whose blood runs in my veins, Nor the vines that I trained round the windows, Nor even the books. But the curve of a shabby armchair that molded itself on your body, And the echoes of songs that you sang, And the square of sun That comes as it came, first in the morning, When you had opened the window.
