ROSSINI was once asked by a young man who aspired to be a composer, to listen to a funeral march he had written inspired by the death of his Uncle Meyerbeer. Asked for his opinion, Rossini replied, “ Well, to tell you the honest truth, I think it would have been better if you had died and your uncle had written the funeral march.” The LEGATION Lion wonders what retort Rossini would have made to-day, if offered a substitute for a Legation Ivory Tipped Cigarette. Legation Ivory Tipped Cigarettes are made in New Zealand and at 10 for 8d they cost you less.
