... . Most people have heard by this time of an interesting literary venture-- Cosmopolis, the new international review-- which starts with the new year. 'The review is founded and edited by Mr. Fernand Ortmans, and the publication of it here-- London, so to speak, being its head quarters-- will be in the hands of Mr. T. Fisher Unwin.

After Mr. and Mrs. Norman returned from the Near East, a Sketch representative called upon them at their house in Grosvenor Road, ...
