DEAR SIR,

I HAVE PLEASURE IN DRAWING YOUR SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE AFFIXED CUTTING FROM OUR ISSUE OF TO-DAY'S DATE.

WITH COMPLIMENTS.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,

W. POLLOCK WYLIE.

ABOUT BOOKS AND AUTHORS[2].
HARRY QUILTER[3] IS ALWAYS AMUSING. HE IS THE PET AVERSION OF MR JAMES M'NEIL WHISTLER, THE AMERICAN PAINTER, WHOSE "NOCTURNES AND HARMONIES" HE DID NOT APPRECIATE. [...] BUT MR. QUILTER AND HIS VOLUME OF "PREFERENCES"[4] WILL SERVE HIS TURN YET A WHILE, WE HOPE.
