.-Mr E. V. Lucas makes the uneiepted confession that his t favourite street in London is the Buckingha m Palace road, —largely because the bands march along it to the Palace and back again, says London ‘ Observer.” Perhaps the reason goes deeper than that, for even to the deaf it is a pleasant enough thor- | oughfare ,airy and central , and ,com- | mcdious, and, like the Princes street iof Edinburgh, with rf only a*e side/* One with less enthusiasm for military mu&ic might weigh the brass bonds against the engine whistles of Victoria —and decide to more a little further away. I do not suppose any half-dozen people would agree about the best street in London, though it might be possible ho agree on the half-dozen best streets. The Strand, the Embankment, Piccadilly, and Regent street would certainly be of the number. Whitehall is too starched and official* and Kingswny is hardly yet hatched. But as to the most unpopular road there can be no doubt whatever; it is the Cromwell road. Every really up-to-dftte author has his g’bc at it; and did not Mr Glutton Brock, only the other day, locate his hell there?. .
