With princely strut and stiffened spine--
So his, and his alone, shall be,
This fondly foolish heart of mine!

On Remnant Days--from morn till night,
When blows fall fast, and words run high,
When frenzied females fiercely fight
For bargains that they long to buy--
From hot attack he does not flinch,
But stands his ground with visage pale,
And all the time looks every inch
The Hero of that Summer Sale!
For oh! a King of Men is he--
Whom shop-assistants call to "Sign!"
So his, and his alone, shall be
This fondly foolish heart of mine!

MONDAY, _Jan._ 18, 1892. "Bath and West of England's Society's Cheese
School at Frome." Of this School, the _Times_, judging by results,
speaks highly of "the practical character of the instruction given
at the School." This is a bad look-out for Eton and Harrow, not
to say for Winchester and Westminster also. All parents who wish
their children to be "quite the cheese" in Society generally, and
particularly for Bath and the West of England, where, of course,
Society is remarkably exclusive, cannot do better, it is evident,
than send them to the Bath and West of England Cheese School.
