Christmas is of Ye Olden Times, and the

Hqrper's Magazine is therefore most appro-
priately of Ye Olden Time, too. "The
Last Mass" is the title and Walter Besant,
the writer, puts the narrative in the mouth
of sweet English girl, who tells Of her
love and lover, of Queen Bess, the Spanish
Fleet, and an old Roman Catholic abbess,
relic Of England under the Papacy
Those acquainted with Mr.. Besant's style
need no assurance that he has written de-
lghtful sketch; those who do not know Mr..
Besaut in his books ,if any there be- will
be Of this opinion as soon as they have read
the story. There are many illustrations in
it, and they are charming.
