Vol. X. No. 244 Social Salad PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR THE EVENING CALL. A Masquerader. Love that came in Pity’s guise, Could I say him nay? Down he dropt his radiant eyes, Veiled in his pinions gay 'Neath a mantle gray; Hid his bow and arrows, too. What was the poor maid to do— Love that came in Pity’s guise, Could I say him nay? Softly knocked he at the door, So I looked to see ; Love I knew had knocked before But this was not be— Pray, who might it be? “Pity is my name I” he cried ; So the door I opened wide— Love that came in Pity’s guise, Could I say him nay? In my empty heart he came, Filled each corner, too, Till one day, with look of flame, Off his cloak he threw, And Love’s self I knew, With a laugh of cruel glee, “I am master here,’’ quoth he Love that came in Pity’s guise,' Could I say him nay? Love that comes in Pity’s guise, Who can say him nay? Maidens, an’ ye would be wise, Turn the rogue aw<y, Lest ye find some day, Cruel love your tyrant grown, And like me, ye make your moan— Love that comes in Pity’s guise, Must as master stay. * ♦ ♦ The old question of realism in fic tion seems to have still the ear of the public. The following exhaustive ed itorial appears in the New York Com mercial Advertiser: Are new tests to be applied in determining the admiss ibility of realism in fiction? Perhaps the battles of the critics and develop ment of taste in the reading public have combined to produce a more ra tional standard. Just now Tolstoi’s new novel, which is being published in different countries in serial form, is reviving discussion of this point. Having discarded sermonizing and tract-writing for a time, the great nov elist has returned to that marvelous delineation of character which marked Anns Karenina. The character paint ing in bis new book has, like that of the former, more than the accuracy of a photograph, for it has lifelike color ing also. But there is strong objection made to the portrayal of certain phases of life. It is noteworthy that be is defended strongly by some who are prominent in Russian official life. The tenor of the discussion seems to be that in this age of publicity a balance has been struck between temporary harm ar.d the ultimate good resulting from the exact representation of life. A certain type of novel is a sort of dose in literary homoeopathy. But the analogy holds Only in part. Novels of pious commonplace will not cure a reading constituency such as that which feasts upon the works of the late E. P. Roe. “For those who like that sort of thing, that is about the sort of thing they like.” It is when the issue of moral health in literature is distinctly raised that your novel writing homoeopath raises his voice. “All that can be written.” be says, “about the evil side of society is trifling ( compared with the gravity of the actu al facts Here is a book, true to life, and telling you something that you ought to have brought home to you with ail the force ot realism. It is told by an artist” It is difficult to decide whether he is right or not, but the question seems to be working itself out slowly. The moral sense of socie- No Hight to Ugliness. The woman who is lovely in face, form I and temper will always have friends, but one who would be attractive must keep her health. If she is weak, sickly and all run down, she will be nervous and irrita ble. If she has constipation or kidney trouble, her impure blood will cause pim ples, blotches, skin eruptions and wretch ed complexion. Electric Bitters is the best medicine in the world to regulate the stomach, liver aud kidneys, and to purify the blood. It gives strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich complex ion.

THE EVENING GALL. ty is quick enough to distinguish be tween the disagreeable, though sane and medieval realism of Z >’a and Tol stoi, and the neurotic vagariee ofd’A n ounzio. Pity it is that literature should have its morbid anatomy ; but its only justification, if such there can be, is the curative power of its painful truths. The marriage of Miss Eva Mitchell and Mr. Lucius William Goddard will be solemnized June 27th, at noon, at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mitchell, in Quincy, Florida. It will be a social event of much interest to their many friends. The beautiful home will be handsome ly adorned for the occasion.
