We are asked to deny that, following upon the publication of _Mirrors of Downing Street_, by "A Gentleman with a Duster," Lord KENYON is about to dedicate to Sir CLAUDE CHAMPION DE CRESPIGNY a book entitled _A Peer with a Knuckle-Duster_. * * * "Mr. Lloyd George seems to have had his hair 'bobbed' recently," says a gossip-writer in a Sunday paper. Mr. HODGES still sticks to the impression that it was really two-bobbed. * * * "Cigars discovered in the possession of Edward Fischer, in New York," says a news item, "were found to contain only tobacco." Very rarely do we come across a case like that in England. * * * "Water," says a member of the L.C.C., "is being sold at a loss." But not in our whisky, we regret to say. * * * What is claimed to be the largest shell ever made has been turned out by the Hecla Works, Sheffield. It may shortly be measured for a war to fit it. |
