to glance at it yet. Pray don't let me deprive you of it. I dare say
there's very little in it I don't know already.

_Mrs. Ard._ So I should have thought. (_To herself, after Mrs.
ALLBUTT has retired in disorder._) Fancy that woman trying to take me
in like that, and no more in Society than I am--if so much! However,
I've found her out before going too far--luckily. And I've a good mind
to take in this _Society Snippets_ myself--it certainly does improve
one's conversation. She won't have it _all_ her own way _next_ time!

POPULAR SONGS RE-SUNG.

NO. IX.--"IN THE MORNING."

The Music-hall Muse, if not exactly impeccably moral, is, at least,
good at moralising. Not only to topers, Totties, larky Benedicts and
spreeish servant-maids, is there pregnant meaning in the warning words
"But oh! what a difference in the morning!!!" As may thus--_pace_
"NORTON ATKINS" and "FELIX MCGLENNON"--be made manifest:--

[Illustration: "He curses speculation in the morning!"]

AIR--"_IN THE MORNING!_"

I'd sing of the singular triumphs we see,
At night, at night!
In Politics, Pleasure, Love, Art, L.S.D.,
At night, at night!
