Tonet sat down with his back to his brother and uncle, so as to follow the fast game of dominoes that was rattling in a lively fashion at the next table. At times his eyes would wander off through the smoky atmosphere toward the bar, where the pretty daughter of tio Carabina for him the principal attraction of the café was serving drinks under a line of marine chromos.
November ninth and not a Christmas thing begun. Yet a few days and the news-stands would have apprised her that Christmas was coming, for by the middle of November all the magazines put on their holly and their chromos of the three Magi and their Santa Clauses, as women put on summer straw hats at Easter. Mrs. Budlong's hands sought and wrung each other as if in mutual reproach.
Cheap chromos, lithographs, and woodcuts have small excuse for being in these days of fine reproductions in photographs, photogravures, and engravings, and their presence in a home indicates not only a lopsided development of the artistic sense, but an indifference to that beauty of which art is but one of the expressions.
They reached the corner by the provision shop with the pink and orange chromos of jellies in the window. "Lise, has anything happened to you?" demanded Janet suddenly. "I want you to tell me." "Anything happened what do you mean? Anything happened?" "You know very well what I mean." "Well, suppose something has happened?" Lise's reply was pert, defiant. "What's it to you?

The glass-blower was grieved at being taken for a peddler.
She folded her hands more primly and waited. Her victim glanced along the chromos on the wall. "It's been very warm for November, has it not?" she said at last. "Yes, very warm," said Elizabeth, also examining the chromos. "I suppose you go to church regularly?" "Yes, quite regularly." "Dr. Harrison is such a clever speaker, isn't he?" "Yes, very clever."
Cheap prints, chromos, and other deadly things are ground out by the million and sold, to clog still deeper the art sense of an inartistic people.

One is called Impressionist Art.

These dreadful chromos which he takes for old masters; these villainous portraits which to his frantic mind represent Rossmores; the hatchments; the pompous name of this ramshackle old crib Rossmore Towers; and that odd assertion of his, that I was expected. How could I be expected? that is, Lord Berkeley. He knows by the papers that that person was burned up in the New Gadsby.
