POPULAR SONGS RE-SUNG.

Great is the might of the Meaningless! Especially in a rattling refrain
or a rousing chorus. Big drum effects are always popular. What wonder
clever Miss LOTTIE COLLINS'S "_Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay_!" is all the rage?
"Her greatest creation" (_vide_ advertisements), "sung and danced with
the utmost _verve_," has taken the town. Will it "mar its use" to
attach a meaning to it? Let us try:--
