lector who has bound up his Fors believing he had

another missye from his idol, and much grief at the
proved incompleteness of series of books be had
fondly believed perfect. But then the Ruskin col
ector is any case. perfectly certain to die IN

notion of possessing faultless set of this writer's
productions. / myself once collected Ruskins, and

The girl shonld tell her father everything. The
lover should tell the girl everything, at once and
