The "Spectator" Habit

SIR,—In common with other folk I find it very expensive nowadays to indulge in many habits started in easier times, but the habit of reading the Spectator, formed a great many years ago, still costs me no more than it did. For this I am truly thankful.—Yours faithfully,

Mildura, Cranleigh, Surrey. FRANK H. KNIGHT.
