GALSWORTHY GOOD DEED.
Among the deeds of good men that live after them must be recorded a generous act by John Galsworthy. Moved by the tales that reached him from Hungary, he decided that he would devote the royalties from translations of his books and plays sold in that country to relieving the destitution there. How many Hungarians bless his name cannot be stated, but it has been placed on record that from March to June last over 23,000 destitute men, women, and children were helped with the royalties from the sale of his works.
