From the report of a Landlord _v._ Tenant case:--

"Mrs. Barkiss said she was quite willing to leave some
day."--_Local Paper_.

"GATWICK MEETING.

Never has this popular rendezvous looked more
beautiful, thanks to the wealth of owers on the members'
lawn."--_Provincial Paper_.

We gather that it had been a bad day for backers.

RECOGNITION A LA MODE.

_(A Romance of False Perspective_.)

The Press, ever anxious, as the guardians of public sentiment, to
correct the reaction that is apt to follow upon any great outburst
of popular enthusiasm, did well to describe the impending arrival of
Prince Ongtong, of the Solomon Islands, with his famous mixed choir,
as the second best news since the signing of the Armistice. We are
glad to think that the reception of this illustrious potentate in our
midst was worthy of the occasion.
