CONDENSED NOVEL SERIES
THACKERAY
'In the creation of living charac
ter. Thackeray stands simply alone
among novelists." says Saintsbury.
Becky Sharp, unscrupulous and fas
cinating; Col. Ncwcome. noble and
lovable; Clive and Pendennis. na
tural young men?all, from Barry
Lyndon to Dents Duval, live and
have a being of their own. "Once
created." says Thackeray, "they
lead me and I follow where they
direct. . . I have never seen the
people I describe nor heard the con
versations I put down. . . I am
often astonished myself to read it.
? . . It seems as if an occult
power was moving the pen."
It was this very quality of a life
outside his own mind which made
his characters so vivid to himself
as well as to his readers. He says:
"I know these people utterly?I
know the sound of their voices."
He even visited, after the publlca
tion of "Vanity Fair." the hotel in
Brussels where Becky Sharp had
stopped. He never grew tired of
most of these people who were
born out of his imagination. The
one who bored him was Esmond,
and he lived in the only novel of
Thackeray's which was completely
planned.
Paradoxically enough, while his
people thus lived outside of him
self. settings and episodes through
out his novels are traccable to his
own experience. His school. Char
terhouse. appears as Slaughterhouse
and Grey Friars; " '??ndennts at his
university relived Thackeray's own
life; Grub Street and its inhabi
tant! existed in reality as in "Pen
der.ris." Personalities and scenes,
however, which live again in his
books, are so transmuted by his
genius as to seem absolute crea
tions.
A STATUETTE Mi THACKERAY IN A
CHARACTERISTIO POSE
VANITY FAIR
By WM. M. THACKERAY
(Condensation by Miss Carolyn Wells)
After six years at Miss Pinker-[ dear little creature, all rosy health
ton's school. Amelia Sedley went' and bright good humor, though the
horn*, guaranteed a polished and 1 silly thin? would cry over a de-id
refln*-d young lady. Amelia was a canary bird or a mouse the cat
had seized upon. She wm accom
panied by her dear friend, Becky
Sharp, who was to make a short
visit nt the Sedley home before be
ginning her career of self support
a* a governess.
Becky was small, pale and sandy- j
haired, with eyes habitually cast
down; when they looked up they
were large, odd and attractive. As
Miss Sharp's father had been an
artist and a drunkard, and her
French mother an opera girl, it is
not surprising that Rebecca as
sorted ah> had never been a girl?
she had been a woman since she
was eight years old.
At the Sedley home. Becky met j
Amelia's brother Joseph, a stout,
puffy man. whu^wore buckskins and,
Hessian toots, several immense I
neckcloths, a red striped waistcoat'
and an apple-green coat. He was,
lazy, peevish, a glutton and a hard j
j drinker, but Rebecca decided in- j
| stantly to set her cap for him and j
| began by whispering to Amelia.
| rather ioud, "He's very hands9me!"
Rebecca's plans, however, were
| foiled by George Osborne, an ad-;
! mirer of .Amelia, and Miss Sharp
I took her departure from the Sedley
j house. |
I She went to be governess in the
home of Sir Pitt Crawley, which
I place, in her letters to Amelia, she
j dubbed Humdrum Hall. There were
many Crawleys, the most important
| being Sir Pitt's spinster sister, and
j his second son, Rawdon Crawley,
j The old lady possessed seventy thou
| sand pounds, and had almost adopted
| Rawdon. who was her favorite neph
ew, while several members of the
, family fought to supplant him in her
! favor. Captain Rawdon Crawley was
a large young dandy, who spoke with
a great voice and swore a good deal.
He remarked of the demure Rebecca,
?*Uy Jove, she's a neat little filly!"
and both he and his aunt took a de
cided fancy to the clever and fas
| cinating little governess. Though. In
j deed, she made conquest of pretty
much whomsoever she chose.
Now we must flit back to London
to see what has become of Allss
| Amelia. Far less interesting than
Becky, and with nothing but her wax
; doll face to recommend her, yet all
the young men clustered round her
! chair and battled tor a dance with
; her. She was now engaged to George
i Osborne, albeit his sisters wondered,
; "What could George find in that crea-,
j ture?" So much did they wonder at
I this, that it affected George, and he
concluded he was throwing himseir
away on the chit. But poor little
Amelia adored him. and Captain DoO
bin. who favored Amelia himself,
kept Osborne up to the mark in his
attentions. The infatuated girl cared
Delicate Mechanism
Despite its scope, Swift & Company is
a business of infinite details, requiring
infinite attention.
Experienced men must know livestock buying
with a knowledge of weight, price, the amount and
quality of meat the live animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must be done
with expert skill and scientific precision. A highly
perishable product must be handled with speed and
care to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants, and other
specialists are required to take care of our intricate
problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must be used in
getting stocks of goods into the open channels of
demand through our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must show activity and
energy to sell at the market in the face of acute
competition from other large packers, and hundreds
of small ones.
All these requirements of intelligence, loyalty,
devotion to the task, are met in the personnel of
Swift & Company. Yet the profit is only a fraction
of a cent per pound, with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this delicate human
mechanism be improved upon?
Do you believe that Government direction would
add to our efficiency or improve the service ren
dered the producer and consumer?

PARIS DECREES CRISP ORGANDY
FOR SUMMER AFTERNOON WEAR
I If there is one thing more refresh
j ing than a summer breeze it's a crisp
j organdy frill.
j Dear Paris decrees that the really
smart woman shall indulge heavily
| in crispiness?especially in rulfles!
I To be both picturesque and eool
| looking in summer is the mark of
; the artist in dress?than which there
is no greater art!
As a beginning persuade your
J nothing about the Napoleonic war
; that was raging, the fate of Europe
! was to her only Lieutenant Geor&e
Osborne; while he. often away with
his regiment, the Horse Guards, read
: her letters hastily, murmuring. "Poor
j little Emmy?how fond she is of me:
| and gad. what a headache that
mixed punch has given me!"
j About this time Miss Crawley re
[ turred from visiting her brother and
j brought back with her to her house
i in Park I^ane n) less a personage than
Miss Rebecca Sharp, who. so well had
| she played her cards, was now Miss
! Crawley's much cherished companion.
Whereupon Capt. Rawdon Crawley be
came a frequent visitor at his aunt's
hi.me. Incidentally. Lady Crawley
died?so incidentally that Miss Craw
ley merely said, pettishly, "I suppose
I must put olT my party for the third!"
I Immediately upon the death of his
wife. Sir Pitt came to his sister';'
house and endeavored to retrieve his
lost Becky as governess.
"I daren't?I don't think it would
be right to be alone?with?you. sir,"
she replied, seemingly in groat agita
tion.
"Come as Lady Crawley, then!
There, will ?har satisfy you?" and the
vulgar, ill-bred old M. P. fell down on
, his knees and leered at her like a
I satyr.
| Rebecca, in real consternation at her
lost chance, wept genuine tears, as
!she exclaimed. "Oh. Sir Pitt?Oh, sir
'?I?I'm married already!"
When it further transpired that the
bridegroom of Becky's secret marriage
I was the brass-spurred and lonc
I mustachioed Capt- Rawdon Crawley,
i there were two cataclysms, one in
'which Miss Crawley went from one
! fit of hysterics into another, and one
where the frenzied old Sir Pitt went
wild w|th hatred and insane with
i baffled desire. But the bridegroom \
I captain remarked to his wife: "You're ,
sure to get us out of the scrape. Beck.
! I never saw your equal, and I've met
i with some clippers in my time, too!"
[ George Osborne, though dependent
no his mercenary, low-bred father,
despised him. and when the elder Os
I borne forbade George to marry our
; little Amelia, the young man broke
! over the traces and married her out
of hand. The marriage was egged on
and managed bi- the faithful Dobbin;
and, radiant in her straw bonnet with
I pink ribbons and a white lace veil,
j littl? Emmy went off with her husband
| to Brighton for the honeymoon.
i Here they fell in with the Raw
don Craw leys. Becky, mistress of
| a fine establishment, and surround-!
ed by respectful admirers, was so|
adroit at wheedling tradesman and1
standing off creditors, that she!
made it possible for them to main-,
tain a fine social position on nothing'
a year.
Soon after this, among the bril-1
liant train of camp followers that j
hung around the Duke of Welling-;
ton's army, our friends were all in I
Brussels. George, now desperately
infatuated with Becky, and neglect
ing his six weeks' wife shamefully,
flipped a note in a bouquet at a
ball, begging Becky to elope with ?
him. But before the note was an-1
swered came the call to arms, an?!
Lieut. Osborne, forgetting all love i
and intrigue, kissed his Amelia and!
marched away?marched, alas, to hisj
death on the field of Waterloo.
Col. Rawdon Crawley, promoted
for gallantry, returned in triumph,
and he and his wife passed the win
ter of 1815 in Paris in much splendor!
and gaiety. Becky's salon became
famous, and great people hobnobbed
there. Col. Crawley's dexterity at
cards and billiards became so
I marked that he constantly won from
his guests, and under Becky's tute
lage he became a clever and suc
cessful gambler, and thus aided in
their fortune of nothing a year.
Amelia, now the widow Osborne,
and with a small son, Georgy. was ?
in sad penury; her father-in-law j
refusing to see her at all, and heri
modiste?or your own clever fingers J
to create one of these prize confec
tions?the first a delicate English |
pijnt in black and yellow on a white
ground, fashioned dlvertingly like an
apron, and stitchcd about with black j
and yellow wool. Behold the perky
organdy guimpe with its woolly edge.
And, of course, never neglect the |
mere frothy frill of dawn pink or- I
gandy. ruffled in cascades and touch-'
ed up with black satin ribbons.

own father and mother dependent
upon her. Becky, too, was the
mother of a son. but she cared
nothing for her child. Nor for her
husband; indeed, she so far for
got her wifely duty as to be
guilty of an intrigue with the rich
old Lord Stevne. Col. Crawley dis
covered this, thrashed the nobk? j
man and left his wife. Then.
Becky, following her own devious j
ways, became an undisgu^ed ad-J
venturess and neglected to care for
her reputation. She bobbed about!
from one city to another; now I
hounded by creditors; now cared for
by some rich admirer. |
At last, when poor Becky had I
fallen very low in funds and in:
repute, she was found by Josoph
Sedley and his sister Amelia. The
old acquaintance was renewed, and
gentle, generous Amelia took her
onc-ttme besom friend into her
heart and home. MaJ. Dobbin
strongly disapproved, and denounced
Becky for what she was in her
very presence. Amelia resented
this, and Dobbin then begged
Amelia, once again, to marry him?
a plea he had often before made.
On her refusal. Dobbin went off
vowing never to return, leaving
Amelia alone with her fealty to her
dead George. Whereupon, Becky,
learning the state of things, told
Amelia of George's note to her. ask
ing her to elope with him, and con
trasting the faithless George most
unfavorably with the patient and
long-suffering Dobbin. So Amelia
recalled Dobbin, married him, and
they lived happy ever after.
Mrs. Rawdon Crawley then at
tached herself to Joseph Sedley,
though not by any legal bonds. He
was her utte.r slave, and insured1
his life heavily for her benefit?j
and benefit she did. for he died
soor alter.
Rawdon Crawley died, too. and
the son Rawdon refused ever to see
his mother again.
Rebecca lived at Bath or Chelten
ham. where some excellent people
considered her a most injured wo-1
man. She devoted her life to works'
of piety and charity, and though
when she met Amelia and her hus
band cn?te, they turned quickly
away, Becky only cast down her
eyes demurely and smiled.
Vanitas vanitatum! Which of us
is happy in this world? Let us shut
up the box and the puppets?our
play is played out.

fa ?
One day Uncle Wiggily went over
In the field, and there he saw
Johnnie and Billie BuShytail. the
squirrels; Jackie and Peetie Bow
Wow, the puppy dogs, Sammie Lik
tletail, the rabbit boy, and many
others, jumping around. ?houting
and laughing.
"Did you find the ball. Bully No
Tail?" asked Jimraie Wibblewobble,
the duck.
"No," croakcd Bully. "I didn't.
Sammie knocked it so far, when he
m&Je his home run. that It rolled
in the deep grass and, though I've
looked all over for it I can't find
the ball."
"Dear me!" said Uncle Wiggily.
"I want to see a ball game. You
stay here. boys, and I'll hop over
to the 5 and 10-cent store and buy
another ball."
In a little while the rabbit gen
tleman came hopping back, and he
had a large bap in his paws.
"My! You must have bought a
very big baseball. Uncle Wiggily!"
said Sammie.
"Well, I bought a lot of balls,"
answered the rabbit gentleman. "So
if you lose one I can toss you an
other, and still another, and the
game can go on. All ready now,
play ball!"
He tossed a ball to Jacko Kinky
tail, the monkey boy pitcher, and
no sooner did Jacko have it in his
paws than he gave a joyful cry
and began taking big bites from it.
"Here! Stop that!" cried Jackie
Bow Wow. "Don't eat the base
ball! You'll get indispepsia. and.
besides we want to have a game
with the ball!"
"This isn't a baseball, it's a pop
corn ball!" cried Jacko. and surely
enough it was.
"I couldn't find any baseballs."
explained Uncle Wiggily. "so I
bought you each a popcorn ball
and one for myself. We'll sit here
in the shade and have an eating
ball game." And they did, and it
was lots of fun.
So li the apldfish doesn't try to
get under the umbrella plant out
of the wet when it rains. I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily and
