"Books of the Month"

R. WILTSHIRE, in his ‘talk on books, given from 3YA. on Monday evening, proved most salutary, for it was only last week that I appended to my notes a pat on the back to speakers in general, and, in a misguided moment, allowed myself a place in their resected glory. It was foclish and presumptuous. and Monday evening’s speaker reminded me quietly, but forcibly, of several of those old saws to the tune of "Pride goes before.a fall," until, more in sorrow than in anger, I dejectedly cut the speaker off in search of somethinz.a little less trying. He reviewed, quite tonelessly and equally dispassionately, three or four books which he assured tus will suit the taste of the "ladies." If men are men, why are women ladies? The speaker’s English requires careful watching; his enunciation is weak and unfinished, and the delivery is unimpressive.
