"Required, very small nicely Furnished House or Cottage.
Bathroom and good private girls' school within easy walk
essential."--_Daily Paper_.

There is nothing so invigorating as a little walk before one's bath.

_SEMPER EADEM_.

A prisoner, Gunner Grogan, E.,
To-day will be brought up to me
For impudence and sloth;
_Reveillé_ only made him sneer;
Aroused, he lipped a Bombardier
(And very natural--both).

And I shall counter, with disdain,
His feeble efforts to explain
Or justify such deeds.
It will be funny if I fail
To twist young Gunner Grogan's tail,
That being what he needs.

I know he isn't really bad;
Myself, I rather like the lad.
(And loathe that Bombardier!)
Beneath his buttons--none too bright--
