HER NOVELS.
That Jane Austen had a thorough knowledge of women but did not know enough about men to trust herself to let them have more than a few words in conversation with each other was one of the points made by Mr. A. B. Walkley in a lecture on behalf of the Joint This Parliamentary Advisory Council. left sotue of his audience, wondering what Jane Austen would have said had she listen to what the two, gentlemen, her devgat lovers-Mr. Walkley hithself and Mr. Augustine Birrell, who presided,--- had. to say about her and their conjes, tures about her love affairs.
Mr," Walkley began by appraising the value of Jane Austen to the world of. 1920, where we lived in such n'hublub that i was a voligf to, esengo into her quiet realm. For us, he said. her norels were more than mere novels: they be banged to the literature of consolation. They were a refuge not only from the madding crowd. but from andding works. She was nothing if not a realist. an anti-sentimentalist, and an anti- romantic. She was as hard as a kind woman could be to Marianne Dashwood.

He thought it needless to waste too much pity on her uhemancipated women, for they got a good deal of fun out of life. The pity was that their interests were so restricted. Marriage was the only career open, to them, had so the mothers and aunts were all matchmakers. Harriage and giving in marriage were Jany's one perpetual theme, She knew her women intimately, but the men zhe Hustruts only knew from the outside.. were presented through the eyes of their wives, brothers through their sisters.
