Of him Sir William Robert~ son wrote: `The time has come to recognize Dickens as the greatest hum- orist of all times, . . his humor has never been defined; it is sort of an intoxicating nonsense, as was instanc- ed in the pure fun provided in the character Sam Weller. Humor runs through all his books like a little mountain stream, always pure and re- freshingly bright. That a humorist such as Dickens might have been also careless. thatll i n "minor defects might be found in the books, would naturally be exoected," said Mr. McFadden.

They are better known to us than the men and women with whom we were brought up. They are used on brew- ers advertising, on whiskey bottles, on stoves and what not; these characters are part and parcel of our English tongue.

'Mr. McFadden. who is assistant crown attorney of the city of Toronto, is a native of Dublin, Ireland, and his por- trayal of the well known Dickens char- acters was given an added zest by his Irish brogue. Miss Helen Ross, who. moved the vote of thanks, perhaps voiced the sentiments of many present.` She frankly admitted she had not been a rabid Dickens fan; she had looked upon Dickens subjects as car- icatures rather than characters. The: latter had never appealed to her as; being human, Miss Ross said, but she] revelled at the good Mr. McFadden had succeeded in taking out of the` great novelist's books and had deter-g mined during his address to re-read`. many of the works of a man of whom-, Carlyle had written Here s'a man forf i you to emulate. in order that she tooi might see them in the same light as. had Mr. McFadden.
