s'Ouida's'' Opinion OF Reviewer

The English reviewer, when he is not a

speaking, a London man; generally speaking he
has not been very successful; he lives In cham

Continent in short Autumn holidays, and

Venetian moonlight can give. Il read state

same, this opinion will not change the fact that
Venetian moonlight is something very differ

log cannot understand the Italian glory. What
Is the life or thousands on thousands OF
educated London men? They run In a
groove, whether the groove run down Pail

pleasure sadly; they are pure machines OF irnI-
