From self centered, ambitious young mnnhood, Dickens slipped easily Into the role of public Idol. He set up an extravagant household, entertained lavishly, always with that gooil cheer so Joy In rollicking, middle-clas- s II directed and acted marked In the t'urol." In the most talked-o- f amateur theatricals of the day, and edited papers, made speeches, traveled and produced hooks with unbelievable energy. The role of public Idol Is always a trying one.

His own children he spoke of as the largest family known, with the least disposition to He was seldom do anything for themselves." free from the timitidy of his childhood and success brought him only Increasing restlessness and dissatisfaction.

She had lived with him twenty-thre- e years, had home hint ten children, but she was now dismissed, left only Iter eldest Son, GOO pounds Income and the gracious privilege of seeing her children "when and where she wished." The household passed Into the more welcome care of Georgina. It was Dickens plea that they hml lived unhappily together for many years." that their differences were temperamental. Kate wns.

Kate had endured the trip to America at his wish: had watched hint monopolize conversation at dinner parties; knew Ids Ir responsibility In business dealings; how public approval went to his head and criticism made him restless tyrant, apt to caricature Its au'hor mercilessly In his bok.
