troduced by the leading-scamay the course of a very correct evening ending at the "Admiral Benbow." Mr. Eton's interest in committee mectinss libeld to discuss the spending of the Tegacy rather militates against the brightness of the book—for even Lady Seestey's selfish reasons for preferring & public recreation ground not quite bacanee the seriousn: ss fof the rector and a. public-spirited doctor. But on the whole the story amusing and the end surprising.
