these days?) an anaesthetic of agreeable nonsense _The Plot-Maker_ is a
medium that I can cordially recommend: one obvious advantage being that

From a publisher's list:--
"Shells as evidence of the Migrations of Early Culture."

"Lady Required to Share Rome with another."
_Staffordshire Sentinel_.

[Illustration: _Eastern Potentate (rusticating)_. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA, MY
DEAR FRIEND, HOW SOOTHING IT IS TO ME TO GET AWAY FROM THE LUXURIOUS AND
ARTIFICIAL LIFE OF THE COURT AND TO SPEND MY WEEK-ENDS IN QUIET
RETIREMENT HERE IN THE COUNTRY WHERE A FRIEND MAY DROP IN FOR POT LUCK
AND TAKE US IN THE ROUGH."]
