DEADLINE FOR MATERIAL TO BE ACCEPTED FOR THE FOLLOWING ISSUE IS THURSDAY.

NOTICE - The Czech Play "Virgin In The Castle" at Lodge 88 in Houston has been postponed for the time being because of the serious illness of the main - part actor, Brother Jan Schroif, who has been hospitalized for 10 days or so, therefore, the part is too long for some other person to learn it in so short a time. Director Rose Sicner notified us by telephone Thursday noon asking us to call our members' and readers' attention to this matter.

She will let us know about later developments. We wish Brother Schroif well and a speedy recovery.

Remember, the Czech Play is POSTPONED! ***

In this issue is a list of delegates submitted by SL Secretary - Treasurer Leonard Mikeska; just as he states, the list contains all the information he has in possession. You are advised to also keep this information for future reference in case you need it, and, if there is an error in the list, please notify Brother Mikeska.

There are four more district meetings to be held before the convention; Districts III and VII April 17 and IV and VI - April 24.

All our SPJST members are reminded to make extra efforts to attend them; they are important forums for the exchange of ideas and opinion from which the delegates of your lodges and districts will have rather correct idea how to vote on certain changes and proposals to the By - Laws and other topics which come up for discussion.

Sister Emma Ceska, District III secretary, has a very complete set of minutes from the last District III meeting in this issue which she delivered for printing and she expressed her hope that a very large number of members of the district would turn out for the District III meeting to be held at Lodge No. 84, Dallas, April 17th. That hope is echoed by this writer and all District III officers. District III has had rather poor attendance at recent meetings. Time and time, again, we hear that our SPJST Society "belongs to the members and all have a voice in its affairs" so let us all exercise that privilege and practice it! Seems that too many members feel that others can do their wishes for them. Let us have a good turnout April 17th. It would really be something to admire if all lodges were represented at district meetings!

The agenda for Districts III and VII are in this issue, also. ***

***

Your editor has been studying the recommendations to the By - laws and changes therein and will have more to write in these columns about them in future issues. For the time being, there are some that are somewhat questionable as far as the membership's participation in our "fraternal lodge - system society" is concerned. We must, at all times, remember that our present status as a fraternal tax - free, non - profit, benevolent order, as founded by our founders is being held under careful scrutiny from many sources. The Insurance Department in Austin and other departments stress, continually, that our future is dependent on how our lodge system and membership representation continues as far as they are concerned.

Our By - Law Committee has a very large responsibility to give all these proposals very careful consideration and this writer feels that they will do so, fraternally. For that matter, our delegates also have a sincere responsibility to make sure that they exercise the desires and wishes of the membership of their respective lodges in their votes on the convention floor and must remember NOT to be rushed into sudden decisions at the last moment.

This editor attended his first convention in 1948 -- that is 40 years ago and has attended every convention since then and this will be the eleventh (11th) convention he plans to attend.

In those past 40 years -- 20 years as editor -- there have been many recommendations and changes proposed and many also rejected because they would have led us down a path contrary to the main purpose of our founding as a fraternal, benevolent society which we are. There are many organizations, fraternal and commercial that, very likely, are envious of our reputation that we (the members) now enjoy! ***

April 24 -- there is also a special called meeting scheduled at Lodge No. 21 in Engle to consider merging with Lodge Praha No. 11 in Fayette County. Members from both lodges are urged to attend this meeting, which will begin at 2 p.m. Supreme Lodge President Howard Leshikar will be present to preside at the meeting.

Members be there! ***

Your car payments are becoming a burden. Then you see . the advertisement: "Auto payments too high? We assume." When you call, the promoter offers to take the car off your hands and make the remaining payments in your name. You get no money, but you are free of those monthly payments, and your credit rating is intact. The proposition, known in the courts as an auto - equity scheme, can seem tempting. Once the promoter has your car, it is leased to a third party, typically someone whose credit rating is too low to qualify for regular financing. This third person often pays the promoter a fee of $2,000 to $3,000 to get the car, and he has to make jacked - up payments on the amount still owed on the vehicle.

Such arrangements have spread across the U.S. in the past four years, and you should steer clear of them. The Council of Better Business Bureaus warns that your original loan or lease agreement almost certainly prohibited assumption by a third party without permission. As the original owner, moreover, you remain legally responsible for the loan until it's paid off. If the third party doesn't make the monthly payments, as frequently happens, you bear the brunt. The original owner is also responsible for the car's operation until it is legally sold. If the new lessee has an accident, the original owner can be held liable for damages. In most states, promoters of auto - equity arrangements can be charged with a misdemeanor, and in two states such schemes are felonies. ***

Dear. Brothers and Sisters: We are preparing for the 1988 Convention to be held in Temple on June 19, 1988 and, as in the past, the convention has provided assistance to members of the SPJST Society who were judged as hardship cases. We would like to continue this policy at the June Convention. The Finance Committee has set a guide for the assistance of judging these cases: 1. The member who needs assistance must submit his/her name to the local lodge officers who, in turn, will review the case.

2. The application must be signed by the local lodge president and secretary.

3. The application must explain why he/she needs assisiance.

4. There is no age limit for the member who needs assistance.

5. It makes no difference where the member is living.

6. The donation is not of a great sum and is for one time only.

7. The application must be mailed to the Finance Committee no later than May 30, 1988. Letters postmarked after May 30th will not be considered.

All cases will be reviewed by the committee before the convention; none will be accepted at the convention.

Please mail all applications to: Rita J. Vanek Finance Committee Secretary P.O. Box 901 El Campo, Texas 77437 - 0901 Fraternally, Rita J. Vanek, Secretary —SPJST--

B-I-N- G-0 After a lot of business meetings, soul searching, planning, discussions, regulation reading, telephone calls, a ton of correspondence, and foot work to get a special election called to legalize Bingo in Houston County, a handful of dedicated, hardworking members of SPJST Lodge No. 74 accomplished a mission that a lot of people said was impossible.

SPJST Lodge No. 74 is now conducting Bingo every Thursday night at the SPJST Lodge 74 Hall. from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. We are authorized to play legalized Bingo on Tuesday and Thursday nights each week from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. under Bingo License Number 1 - 75 - 1052324 - 8. We will be playing Bingo on Thursday nights only until we can get our feet on the ground and make a little money. If we are successful on Thursday nights, then we will also play on Tuesday nights. Your lodge needs your help to make Bingo a success.

Without your help and support, Bingo at your lodge will be a failure. We, the operator and workers of Bingo, are asking you "The Members of SPJST Lodge No. 74" to come out and support Bingo. Help us to help you and your lodge!

Lodge 74 "Your Lodge - Use It Or Lose It" SPJST

The officers and trustees of SPJST Lodge No. 74, Lovelady, Texas, wish to take this opportunity to let all the members of the lodge know the financial crisis your lodge is in. To make a long story short -- "Your Lodge Is Broke."

The officers and trustees of your lodge have been working very hard for over a year trying to keep lodge doors open. We, as officers and trustees, are not magicians or miracle workers.

There is just so much we can do as officers and trustees. Your Lodge 74 and the officers and trustees of your lodge must have your help, support, suggestions, input and cooperation.

Without your help, support, suggestions, input and cooperation, your lodge will be forced to close its doors.

Your lodge has been open every Saturday night for you, your family and your guests' entertainment for many, many years. Many of you joined and have been members ofSPJST Lodge 74 from the first day it was organized. Your children followed in your footsteps. Your children's children have followed in their footsteps -- the list goes on and on.

Over the past few years, for some reason or other, you, your family and your guests have stopped participating in the functions and business meetings of "Your Lodge." Your lodge has a monthly business meeting the first Monday night of every month at 7 p.m. This business meeting is published in the local newspaper, announced on the local radio stations and published in the VESTNIK. It is also made known by word of mouth of all officers and trustees of your lodge.

There is no excuse for you not knowing about your lodge business meetings. What is your excuse for not attending your lodge business meetings? Is it because you no longer care about or love your lodge? Do you want to see your lodge doors closed and locked? Would you rather see your children running up and down the "Drag," parking in dark secluded places, unsupervised and unchaperoned? Do you wish to expose your children to all the drugs, evils and temptations that exist in today's society or would you rather they attend your lodge and their lodge where they are properly and chaperoned and adequately supervised? You have a choice and the

6/VESTNIK—Wednesday, April 13, 1988 choice is yours and yours alone to make.

Your lodge is a family - oriented fraternal organization and is dedicated to the youth of Houston County. In this reporter's opinion, there is no big task or secret as to how to keep your lodge open and financially healthy.

The solution to keeping your lodge open and in sound financial condition is simply for you, your family and your guests to come to your lodge's Saturday night functions. That is all that it will take. There are a lot of other ways to keep your lodge open and operating, but this is the easiest and most simple way.

The elected officers and trustees of your lodge have done all the things possible that can be done at the officer's and trustee's level. The rest is up to you -- "The Member."

Without your attendance,. suggestions, input and support, the next horrifying sound you hear will be

the locking of your lodge's doors. We say to you -- "IT IS YOUR LODGE, USE IT OR LOSE IT." Recently, SPJST Lodge No. 74, Lovelady officers and trustees were installed. They are Don McKenney President and Trustee f3illy Joe Bobalik Vice President and Trustee Selena Cryer - Secretary Joyce Bradshaw - Membership Secretary Theresia Bobalik - Treasurer Sherry McKenney - Youth Leader W.G.

Lodge No. 84, Dallas Dear Members: This is your last reminder to attend the District III spring meeting at Lodge No. 84 this Sunday, April 17th -- doors open at 10:30 a.m., followed by registration, meeting, dinner -- and at 1 p.m., the evening meeting begins.

Come enjoy a fried chicken dinner which will cost $4 per adult and $2 per child, 12 and under. The pastry served will be donated by our members, please! Members who are regulars to the District III meetings, no doubt, will want to compare which pastry tastes the best -- at various lodges; mind you, this is not a contest between lodges, but our members can really make you save room on your plate for dessert.

Should you have visitors, friends or perhaps relatives, friends or perhaps relatives at your home this Sunday well, come on, bring them, it might be the occasion to introduce them to this fine group who are representing SPJST and sit back and let them beg you to join. Remember it's April 17th!

April 16th -- The Mikula's from Ennis play; still another reason to come and bring your friends, relatives, etc.

Then, May 21 -- It's the Softball Dance with music by the Czech Harvesters. See you April 18th -- Lodge Meeting at 7:30 p.m.

Pictured, L to r: W.G. "Win" Bradshaw Joyce Bradshaw and Chester Shmoldas posing after the task was completed.

Lodge No. 74 Spring Gardening Chester Shmoldas is the Number One Sales Representative of SPJST Lodge 74, Lovelady, Texas. He is also a longtime trustee of our lodge. Next to the love of his wife, Mildred, and his children, Chester's next true love is SPJST Lodge 74. Chester was one of the most influential members in getting the present SPJST Lodge 74 from a dream and planning stage to the beautiful building that we now call the "Home of SPJST Lodge 74."

We are pr id of Chester here at Lodge 74. We are also very appreciative of Chester's wife, Mildred. She is understanding of Chester's dedication to his second love, SPJST Lodge 74. We appreciate all his hard work, dedication and long hours he puts in working for our lodge. Along with all the many other duties that Chester performs for Lodge 74, he is also the "Grounds Chairperson." Chester has a natural ability to give the grounds, shrubbery and flowers that professional and beautiful manicured look. Chester is extremely proud of his roses and petunias. Anyone who has visited

SPJST Lodge 74 can see at a glance all the hard work, dedication and care that Chester has put into his gardening work.

Just recently Chester took on the task of pruning his tremendous rose garden and transplanting and thinning out his petunia beds. Chester asked for some membership help on this project and got it. (Refer to accompanying picture.) Chester said the roses may not be as good as he hopes this year, but next year they will be spread out all over the rose garden fence and in full bloom. The petunias are going to do real well this spring. Thanks, Chester, for a job well done. Joyce and I were proud to be a part of your project. Our lodge and our nation needs more men like you You have made all of us better human beings by your fraternal spirit and being our friend.

Play In Houston Postponed Due To Illness

Czech

Please be advised that the Czech Play "Virgin in the Castle" has been postponed due to the illness of the leading actor Jan Schroif. It will be rescheduled for a later date.

Our youth had an Easter egg hunt on the lodge ground Saturday, April 2 and, as usual, it was enjoyed by all The smaller children have a gleam in their little eyes which can't be erased on an occasion like that The youtn leaders did a tremendous job and exemplified lots of patience.

On Saturday night, April 2, Eddie Ray and The Polka Dots played at the dance with Tom and Lydia Marsh in charge, assisted by Arnold Cmajdalka and Pearl Hanka. It seemed like the dance was very enjoyable and the music was good.

On Friday night, April 1, The Texas Brew, a well - known orchestra, played at Lodge 88. Roy Stonaker was in charge with his wife, Shirley, and Dorothy Pflughaupt assisting.

If you check your monthly calendar you will notice that April 9 was Al Pierson night and they are a Big Name Band. When you observe your dress code, it adds so much glamour to your dance. Our Chandelier Ballroom is such a beautiful and elegant place to spend your evening away from this troubled world.

The Knights of Dixie dance on March 26 was great. Chuck and Jane Custard were in charge of the dance, and many of us had a good time, and

birthday parties were all around the hall.

On one occasion recently, L.A. Mikes introduced his beautiful daughter, Laurie Fisbeck, but to his surprise I remembered her for one special reason and that was when she was a little child, I was cutting cake for the. Birthday Club and she came to me and pointed to a certain cake and asked me to save her a piece of that cake. She said, "My mama baked it."

I'm sure she still likes her mother Marian's baking and cooking.

My 5 - year - old great - grandson, Adam Marshall, called my attention to my purse. He said, "Memmie, you have an amazing purse, 3 zippers and all zip in a different direction."

On March 25 the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home No. II had a Birthday Party for all the March birthdays, so Grandma Hanka, whose 93rd birthday was on the 20th, was included. I had a big cake baked, which she shared with all the rest. Her nephew and wife, Roland and Becky Hanka, came to celebrate their aunt's day. She also had a few more guests.

To Editor

12111 Pebblebrook Drive Houston, Texas 77024 April 2, 1988 Mr. R.J. Sefcik Editor, Vestnik P.O. Box 85 West, Texs 76691 Dear Mr. Sefcik: We have received permission from Mr. Antonin Hora, Czechoslovak Embassy of Washington, D.C., to release for publication the attached information pertaining to the university scholarship program for degree studies at Charles University, Prague CSSR. I am also enclosing the English translation of this letter from Mr. Antonin Pelikan, director of the Czechoslovak Foreign Institute.

Sincerely, Charles J. Heyda ***

4. In the case where the applicant has not as yet completed the last year of high school and, therefore, cannot furnish his university qualifications (finishing grades), as an exception the grades for first half of this final year can be sent and the certificate of graduation must be submitted later.

5. In the case of application for admission at art school, the questionnaire must state an alternative branch of study, that is, a course of study that does not require a talent test in case of failure in the talent examination in the art school: This alternative study, however, does not have to be in the field of art.

We believe, that among our compatriots in the United States, primarily in Texas, there will be found persons interested in studying in the

"old country," who, by this means, can attain higher qualifications for subsequent positions as teachers of the Czech language in our compatriot organizations.

We beg you to let us know as soon as possible whether you have anyone interested in taking up these scholarship positions. In case you have no applicants for this school year (1988/89), we will offer the scholarships to compatriots in other countries; however, you can now propose applications for the next year (1989/90).

With compatriot greetings, Ing. Antonin Pelikan Director, Czechoslovak Foreign Institute —SPJST-

In Prague 16 Feb. 1988 Association of Czech Ex - Students of the State of Texas (CESAT) Texas U.S.A Esteemed Countrymen, As we previously informed you, the recently signed cultural agreement between the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the United States opens up the possibility for the exchange of students and scholarships between both countries. The Czechoslovak Foreign Institute (CSUZ) received for its disposal for the 1988/89 school year several scholarships for our countrymen for formal university study in Czechoslovakia.

We know that in the last period there has developed an interest even among our countrymen in the United States for study, primarily Czech language, in our universities. At the present time your first countrywoman from Nebraska, Miss Alena Bodlak is successfully studying at the Philosophical Faculty at Charles University in Prague.

We are offering you by this means two or three scholarship positions for university study in Czechoslovakia in the following divisions: Agriculture or veterinarian medicine, technical subjects, medicine or pharmacy, social science (now including language studies), economics, natural science, chemistry and food production.

Necessary information will be found in the information brochure included with this letter.

We remind you of the following most important points: 1. All of the documents of the applicants for study - questionnaire filled out in duplicate, biography, document of completed studies, birth certificate, medical record and personal photograph must be sent through the medium of our Embassy in Washington, D.C. no later than April 30, 1988.

2. Previous studies directed toward the study of medical science is an excellent advantage and also a very good benefit for the rest of the branches of study. For the other individual studies the age limits of the applicant have to be observed as stated in the information brochure.

3. Your application must include the numerical code of the branch of study, which you will find in the brochure.

The 15th Class Of The Czech Language At Alief The spring semester of the Czech language class in the community of Alief in southwestern Houston was highly successful. Besides the usual lessons covered by the assigned textbook and by the useful handouts this class spent some of its time singing Czech songs. (No wonder, because besides the faithful regular students, four talented ladies of the Czech Singers group from East Bernard and their escorts took Czech in this 15th anniversary class.)

To enhance the quality of this particular course several pages of the poem Vodnik from the excellent collection Kytice (Bouquet) written by the great Czech classicist Karel Jaromir Erben were introduced to the enthusiastic students.

All of the participants of the 15th Czech class at Alief are to be commended for their effort to learn Czech and perpetuate thus this way our Czech heritage. One of the enclosed pictures was taken during the class; the second picture in front of the blackboard was taken after the class.

The group picture with blackboard in the background has the following people: (Front Row, Left to Right) Henry T. Hlavinka, Teacher John J. Karas, Margie Hlavinka, Margie Vacek and Michelle Stryk. (Back Row, Left to Right) Carl F'dl, Frank Kramr, Martha Viktorin, Joseph Pe gl, Birdie Hlavinka and John Kramr. --Leonard Sumbera and Darell Sumbera were not present when the picture was taken. Another student not on the

picture is Daniel Hrfia, area vice president of the Czech Heritage Society of Texas. Mr. Hrfia, enrolled also in the previous Czech class at Alief, is a dedicated Czech - Texan seriously studying the Czech language.

CESAT Scholarship Awarded The Czech Ex - Students Association of Texas (CESAT) through its Texas Council for Higher Education (TCHE) recently awarded a $3,000 scholarship to Andrew Drozd, 23, who is a graduate school student at the University of Texas - Austin, presently working for his MA degree in Slavic languages.

Mr. Drozd was born in Richmond, Texas to James and Glenda Drozd. At age 11, his family moved to Louisiana where he completed his high school education. He graduated from Louisiana State University with a BA in history in May 1984. He entered the Graduate School at the University of Texas in the fall of 1984 and received his MA in history in December 1986.

After he receives his MA in Slavic languages in May this year, Mr. Drozd plans to continue his studies and work for a PH.D. degree in Slavic languages, concentrating on Czech. He hopes to teach Czech at the university level in Texas.

In order to further his studies in Czech this summer, Mr. Drozd has made application for the Czechoslovak Foreign Institute 1988 summer studies program at Charles University in Prague, Czechoslovakia which will be held during the month of July.

The officers of CESAT and its Council for Higher Education are happy to make this scholarship award to Andrew Drozd, and hope that he will attain his goal as a professor of Czech in the university field of education.

and 2 walks. Tommy Yates had a single, Clyde Wilsey had a walk, Roger Little had a walk, Jim Zoller had a walk and Mike Funk, a walk.

Our fourth game was against foe unknown; we lost by a score of 5 to 3 and according to the scorebook, no one kept score so no results. The opinion was that we should have won the game.

We will be playing on Tuesday nights at Samuel Grand Diamond No. 2 in Dallas at Tennison Park.

Our league will open play on Tuesday night, April 12, game time 8:10 p.m. opponent Trans - Con and on Tuesday, April 1.9 -- 8:10 p.m. opponent Oak Cliff Saints, Diamond No. 2 Samuel Grand.

There are 7 teams in our league and we will play 8 games in our league.

I plan to give the full schedule of all games in my next article.

My apology for such a long article but, hopefully, it will be shorter next time.

Please keep in mind our annual Team Benefit Dance on Saturday, May 21 and do come out to this event.

SPJST Softball Team, Lodge 84, Dallas Dear Brothers and Sisters: Our Softball Team at Lodge 84 has been working out and getting ready for this coming season, our 35th consecutive year of having a fast pitch team. The players are all excited and hoping to have a good season.

Mike Funk will be the team field manager along with Paul Bartos assisting him on team matters and coach will be the business manager and correspondent. The team roster will be made up of a majority from last year's team, plus some new team members.

Our annual Team Benefit Fund Raising Dance will be held Saturday night, May 21st at Lodge No. 84, 2625 Floyd Street, Dallas, Texas. We appeal to all our lodge members, sponsors, all ex or former ballplayers and friends of the team for your support and your presence at our dance. Last year we held our team fund - raiser in April on a Saturday night before Easter Sunday; this was a near disaster, needless to say, and our team suffered financially the rest of the year. This year we moved the dance to a later date and, hopefully, we will draw a real large crowd. Please make plans now to also bring friends and neighbors, the more the merrier. We also appeal to as many as possible former team members to come to our dance. It would be nice to get - together and

swap old tales and renew fraternal friendships. We direly need the funds, uniforms and other necessary equipment, so please help us with our efforts to raise enough funds to have a financial success for this season. The very popular Czech Harvesters orchestra will be playing for our dance.

Our team played their first games in a tournament Saturday, April 2 in Denton, Texas. It was a round - robin tournament of 8 teams and we got to play 4 games, winning 2 and losing 2.

To say one likes someone, or something, "miti" plus "rad" is used.

Learn Czech With Us 43rd Lesson.

Possessive Ajectives.

1. Possessive adjectives are formed from masculine nouns by means of suffixes -iiv, -ova, -ovo, and from feminine nouns by means of suffixes in, -ina, -ino.

Notes: 1. The meaning of a possessive adjective is that of English Peter's, sister's.

2. We cannot form possessive adjectives from neuter nouns. The possessor must be a person, rarely an animal, never a thing.

The possessor must be a definite, single person denoted by a single noun, otherwise we must use the genitive.

E.G. Smetanovo divadlo v Praze or Divadlo Bedficha Smetany v Praze, pfitelav syn or syn meho dobreho pfitele, bratrav klobouk meaning my brother's hat.

3. All hard consonants preceding the suffix-in (-ina, -ino) soften: babiekababietin, Olga— 012in, sestrasestfin, etc.

4. Nouns ending in -y, -a, -e, -i (pan Novy, miij znamY, pruvodei, krejei, Jifi, cestujici, vratnY and all feminine surnames like pani Novakova, Vavrova, Jiraskova) cannot form possessive form and are treated like normal adjectives.

5. Possessive adjectives are also used in the names of places, streets, squares, institutions. E.G. Karl& most, Karlova univerzita, Karlovo namesti, Karlovy Vary.

A A SKUTECNOST Tydfil' se, jako by vedeli v gechno, a ve skute6nosti nevedeli nic — nic o pfirode, o umeni nebo o citech . A to byli ti, ktefi meli na starosti stat, zakony, vedu, armadu a naboienstvi. Tuto kritiku anglickeho metfaka nenapsal zadny socialista ani anarchista. Vyfkl ji podatkem na§eho stoleti spisovatel, kterY se sam „narodil se stfibrnou Iiiakou v Crstech" — to jest mel to ttesti, ie pied sto dvaceti lety pHna svet jako dite rodiaci z vyHi stfedni vrstvy.

John Galsworthy — zakladatel a prvni piedseda PEN klubu, anglickY romanopisec, dramatik a basnik, byl nejstartim synem bohateho podnikatele staveb. Detstvi profit v idyle venkovskYch sidel, byl iakem yzne§ene soukrome §koly Bournemouthu, proslul jako vynikajici sportsman na exkluzivni stfedniskote Harrow. V Oxfordu piatil potom za nejlepe obledeneho studenta, a ie by mei intelektualni sklony, nikoho nenapadlo. Absolvoval ovSem s yyznamenanim, stal se doktorem pray a stal pied skvelou karierou.

Zdalo se, le nic nernide zabranit, aby se stal oporou spoteCnosti a statu. A pak se nevhodne zamiloval a poprve narazil na hradbu piedsudki, a pokrytectvi. Zasahl jeho otec, a aby mu to fenu vyhnal z hlavy, postal syna do Kanady. Ale ten se zahy vratil ke sve lasce a byl znovu odestan, tentokrat na cestu kolem sveta.

Cesty mu byly prvni inspiraci. Ve veku dvaceti osmi let zadal J. Galsworthy psat, ale prvni pokusy, svazek bezvYznamnych povidek a nezdafily roman o lasce a povinnosti Jocelyn, nestaly za mnoho. Teprve v roce 1900 vydal prvni yyznamnej'ai dito Vila Rubein.
