Extract from "Notes from an Alsatian Valley" in _Chambers' Journal_:--

"As a last word about this charming country, may I point out its

advantages as a holiday playground? It offers attractions of many

kinds to the sportsman.... The climate ... remains singularly warm

right up to the end of October."

Rather _too_ hot a playground for holiday-makers just now.

DISTANT RUMBLING THAT I HEAR? DOUBTLESS THE PLAUDITS OF MY PEOPLE!"

motorist's name and address, etc., and received, in answer to his

further question, "And is this lady your wife?" a torrent of oaths very

much in the vernacular)._ "OH! PASS ALONG; YOU'RE A BRITISHER ALL

RIGHT."
