One ought never to say what one thinks about people until one has made a kind of survey of all one has thought of them, say, in the course of a year. Perhaps if we re garded our weather in a similar man- ner the memory of the glorious sunny days would quite offset the bitter storms. ‘ VICTORIA SQUARE j VOLLVL CAPITO YIgi‘EzéasfliE M0. 2172 300 SEATS ALL EVENING 27c.
