Grant Allen, in the “ European Tour,” says: —“ I once asked my friend Mr Herbert Spencer how it came about that a. man who had thought so much and so deeply as he should have no wrinkles on his forehead at over seventy. ‘ George Eliot: asked me that,’ he said, with a smile; ‘and I answered at once, I suppose it is because I never worried oyer anything. I let my thinking come of itself. Never in. my life did I sit down deliberately to get up a subject. I read, observed, and thought, when I liked and where I liked, and allowed my ideas to frame themselves naturally.’ ” The past holiday season has been the hnsiest ever experienced in Hanmer Plains. There are still a large number of visitors -there.
