  (By the Expert Wrinkler) Where to spend Saturday to Monday is, of course, the prevailing and stubborn problem in many of the stately homes of England. What then must be the difficulty when the question to be answered is where to spend the Easter holidays? The reply depends, of course, very much upon the time that can be expended upon the vacation. If, to take an example, a gentleman has only a week at his disposal, it is little use his thinking very seriously of India or the Cape; but Paris is, of course, well within his power. Given a fortnight he might get as far as Rome if he wished to, although for my part I prefer Monte. On this favourite resort, however, I need not dwell at present, as my readers will remember a paragraph on Monte and suitable costume there which I wrote some two or three years ago on the occasion of one of the infrequent breakings of the bank.

So they are after the unsuspecting criminal! 'ARRY'S AND 'ARRIET'S 'OLIDAY TRIP 'ARRY'S AND 'ARRIET'S 'OLIDAY TRIPScene--Hotel in Cologne Scene—Hotel in Cologne Fidgety English Party.
