Ollidu. the pseudonym of the novelist LoriSE 

 DE LA ItAME, who was IMIHI about 1840, and who 

 HiH-nt part of her girlhood with her mother at 

 Bury St F.dmunds. Alx)iit 1874 she was living 

 in London at the, Langham, and since then Flor- 

 ence has been her chief alnxle. She was writing 

 for Colbttru't A'rir .Monthly and Bcntley's Mtii/n:inf 

 as early as 1861 ; and among more than a score of 

 novels by her may be mentioned Stratlitnore ( 1805), 

 Idalia (1867), Under Two Flags (the best, 1868), 

 Puck (1869), Folle Farine (1871), Ptucarel (1873), 

 Ariadne (1817 ), Mutlis (1880), Princess Nnpraxine 

 ( 1884), Santa Barbara ( 1891 ), The Xrw Priesthood 

 ( 1893), The Silver Christ ( 1894). Toxin ( 1895), The 

 Massareenes (1897). Muscular heathenry, nuture- 

 worship, and an encyclopedic ignorance are pre- 

 vailing notes of these books, which are clever but 

 unreal. There is a dash and go about them, a 

 'glamour' and glitter, and withal a singular same- 

 ness one wearies of their courtesans and blase 

 aristocrat*, and ceases to lie amused with their 

 classical and cosmopolitan inalupropisnis.

 known on account of the very line etching from it

 of his different methods.
