This being the centenary year of the great moral reformer, Josephine Butler, some observation by her grandson, Mr. xV. Butler, may be of interest. “My grandmother never seemed quite old ; she was- too vital always. That is still my impression of her, and the effect of her interesting personality is now almost as strong as it was over twenty years ago when she died. It was my privilege at school and university to receive letters from her onco or twice a week." She was a tremendous letter writer, he points out, and her letters showed her great love of beauty and art, she herself being nn artist of ability. His words prove the greatness of the sacrifice Mrs. Butler made when she chose to spend her life for the good of humanity amidst what was ugly.
