LOVE LETTERS OF DICKENS

Two Amazing Interludes in a Gi'eat Artist's Life — BY H. H. HARPER

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE Th* prfviotM rpisodr* prmnl th* im*iin* "First Interlude" In the dramatic life f Dirkrn*. a pxvert y-trirken hut brilliant London youth. He captivated Maria Readnell, beautiful daughter of a well-to-do hanker. After three year* of ardent courtship Maria rejecUd him. The "First Interlude" a* ended. Heartbroken and despondent, he ImpulMvelv married Catherine Hojarth. Tear*, of unhappiness followed. Twentytwo year* later began the -'Second Interlude." Dickens wa* now 11. and the father of nine rhildren. Maria had been married for year* to a staid, small business man and had two children. She wrote to Dickens. He responded with an ardor which reflected the love he had felt in hi* heart all hi* life for Maria Beadnell. yesterday we *rinted one of the letter* of the "Second Interlude'- which has been pronounced lhe "greatest love letter ever ifritten." Today we present the famous "camouflage letter." THE years had indeed “vanished like a dream;’’ The remembrance of his old love was upon him and his pen ran on with the abandon and indiscretion of youth, combined with the eloquence of mature years. Carried away by the vision of his first sweetheart, he wrote with the power and pathos of one who looks back longingly from the dismal prison house he had built for himself, walled in by the social barriers and responsibilities that he had somehow accumulated while striving for success and happiness. Maria’s letters, reaching him in this uncongenial state, suddenly opened a door that he had thought closed for ever. Through thus opening he looked back upon the hardships of hi? unhappy childhood, "so long, so bare, so blank;” and thus he reviewed the dreams of his youth—his long lost hopes of a happy marriage with the only girl he had ever really loved —a train of memories that might well have unsteadied a pen in the sturdiest hand. The strange part of it all is, that the charity of his heart was such that he imputed no blame to the one who had destroyed all his youthful illusions. The years had softened his resentment that one might easily suppose he was unburdening his soul to some fairy queen to whom he all the triumphs of his life. tt u u IT is easy to see how fortunate it was for Dickens that Mrs. Winter kept these letters inviolate during his lifetime; but now when the world reads them in their entirety, and with a complete understanding of the circumstances under which they were written, this love story will lend an added charm to everything JJickens ever wrote. * No character in all his books is so vividly interesting as he made himself; in no book that ever he wrote did he place the leading character in such peril ps he unwittingly created for himself; and no love story in history is more filled with pathos and drama than his own life experience. If any one should find it difficult to reconcile the above impassioned letter with the one he then had in mind to write—and did write two days later—to Maria's home, it may be explained by saying that Dickens was nothing if not humanly impulsive and romantic. But in his exuberance he had brought on a situation could easily have been used to checkmate his whole career; for it would have been quite possible, even for a fair-minded person, to suspect dishonorable motives in a man who wrote two such letters to a married woman, the first to a private address, and the second to her home. a a a HERE follows the deceptive letter he intended to be read by Maria's husband, or any one else who might see it. It will be seen that the endearing opening. "My dear Maria” and the affectionate

closing in the spontaneous love letter of Feb. 22. have given place to "My Dear Mrs. Winter,” and Very faithfully yours.” And true to his promise he tells her—in order to forestall any suspicions in others who might read it—that Catherine (his wife) would see her, etc. It is a cordial, harmless little missive, quite a platonic affair, compared to the one two days previous, “all to herself.” The Deceptive Letter— Tavistock House, Saturday, Twenty-fourth, February, 1855. My Dear Mrs. Winter: I have had fearful suspicions on my way home from Paris, that those little bits of velvet which are worn around the neck ought to fasten with a sort of clasp; but the disinterested merchant with whom I executed your commission, assured me that the little ornaments I inclose were the right things, and wquld adjust such bits of velvet, "Os a manner very ravishing.” He was so rapturous in the expression I translate—so excessively voluble on the subject, and so injured in his honor by my harboring the least doubt, that I meekly submitted to him. a a a ' IN her letters Maria had very adroitly succeeded in setting all things “right” by her “earnest words, so courageously, so delicately and gently” expressed; she had established “a confidence, which still once more” was to be between themselves alone. Dickens had written her from Paris that her handwriting had “not in the least changed." Perhaps that's why it never occurred to him that she had changed. She must have warmed up considerably in at least one of her letters for he answered —“If you had ever told me then what you tell me now . . . the simple truth and energy which were in my love would have overcome everything ... All this mist passes away upon your earnest words.” Which shows that she was then as ingenious in clearing up mist as she had been in spreading gloom over his boyhood hopes. It will be seen that letters received at Dickens’ home were not under the restraint of domestic censorship—for he assured Mrs. Winter that he could be nowhere addressed with stricter privacy than at his own house. The exemption. however, seems not to have included this feminine caller, since he took the precaution to suggest that she ask first for Mrs. Dickens, who with all the household—excepting only himself—was sure to be out at the time appointed. We can easily picture the effect of all this on the feverishly expectant Maria, who was going to meet, secretly and intimately, the devout lover of her girlhood days, who had given her every reason to believe that he was now more susceptible than ever. a tt WHAT could she do to exercise the old charm? What would he expect? Could she enchant him once more? We do not think of four and forty as old nowadays, and it would not be strange if Maria had retained some of her old fascination; indeed she probably wrote him that she was "toothless, fat, old and ugly,” with a view to giving him a happy surprise. But with all the youthful attractions she could possibly have retained, it would have been difficult to fulfill the expectations of a man who visualized her only as the beautiful young creature who was “always the same” in his remembrance the idol of his

] youth, in the raspberry colored dress, who sang and played on the harp, and captivated his "boyish heart.” It was a rather bold experiment; and yet she must have felt reasonably sure of herself, for it seems perfectly obvious that in making so many tender apologies for her former conduct, her purpose was to establish an intimacy closer than that of mere platonic friendship. Otherwise she would hardly have ventured to “enlighten” him as to how much her thoughts had dwelt on him during some “crisis" in her early life; nor would she have appealed to him to “treasure” what she told him in his “heart of hearts.” His ready acceptance of her “explanations” undoubtedly reassured her, and it is not to be doubted that she felt more or less confident of her latent ability to attract. Should she ignore the intervening years apd assume the role of the coquettish ingenue of nineteen. That seems precisely what she attempted to do; and such frivolity proved to be unbecoming to her advanced age. Tomorrow's episode tells all that Is known of the lovers' secret meeting.

Tugwell Talk on Wine Draws Many Rebukes

Kansas Drys Take Lead in Bringing New Woes to Brain Truster. By Scrippn-Hoicard Xe’jcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. May 15.—His advocacy of the “conventional trinity of wine, women and song” piled up new troubles today for Professor Rexford Guy Tugwell. handsome assistant secretary of agriculture and leading prize of the anti-ad-ministration head-hunters. From all sections, but chiefly from the area once described by Henry L. Mencken as the “Bible belt,” are coming protests against the address in which the “brain truster” declared that “one of the oldest and quietest roads to contentment” lies through the wine, woman and song trinity. The address was delivered some weeks ago before the Women's National Democratic Club of Washington. It excited nobody until it was published in the organization’s magazine, the Democratic Digest, at about the same time the “rgd” charges of Dr. William A. Wirt were being aired before a house committee. Since then copies of the address have been widely circulated among religious and prohibition organizations. Now, when Professor Tugwell's nomination as undersecretary of agriculture is before the senate, his views are being used to oppose his confirmation. The first demand for Professor Tugwell’s resignation came from the Rose City Park Methodist church of Portland, Ore., which termed the educator's utterances as “un-American.” Later protests have come from midwestern states, including Kansas, notoriously dry and home of the house’s most consistent Tugwell-baiter, Representative Harold McGugin. The speech, as printed in the

youngsters, but she has developed a true maternal passion for the little fellows. ''Maggie'’ is shown (above) in the role of playing "mother” and “cafeteria" to her strange breed. The cat is owned by Mrs. Margaret Harrington of 201 South Grace street. The pups' mother died several days ago.

Democratic Digest, advises American women to “follow the example of Mrs. Roosevelt and serve wine in their homes.” “They should favor American wines as much as possible,” he said, “choose them with regard to their flavor, bouquet and price and associate their use with food. American wines are good enough to stand on their own feet without imitating standard European wines.” Swinging into the defense of the wine, woman and song trinity. Professor Tugwell remarked that “we have a chance, now that repeal of the eighteenth amendment is an accomplished fact, to establish a tradition of wine, used as a mild social stimulant, together with good food, good talk and good company and, let me add, good song.”

May 15.—President Roosevelt today asked congress for supplementary appropriations of $1,322,000,000 to complete his national recovery program for the fiscal year 1934.
