Her ladyship (and ARCHIE) had come back to town, -and the note was to say that I might call, in fact that I _was_ to call, -that afternoon. It so happened that I had two engagements, which seemed -to make that impossible, but I spent a shilling in telegrams, and at -4.30 (the hour DOLLY had named) was duly ringing at the Mickleham town -mansion. - -"I'm delighted you were able to come," was DOLLY'S greeting. - -"I wasn't able," I said; "but I've no doubt that what I said in the two -telegrams which brought me here will be put down to your account." - -"No one expects truth in a telegram. The Post-Office people themselves -wouldn't like it." - -DOLLY was certainly looking at her very best. Her dimples (everybody has -heard of DOLLY'S Dimples--or is it DOLLY DIMPLE; but after all it -doesn't matter) were as delightful as ever. I was just hesitating as to -my next move in the Dialogue, which I badly wanted, for I had promised -my editor one by the middle of next week. The choice lay between the -dimples and a remark that life was, after all, only one prolonged -telegram. Just at that moment I noticed for the first time that we were -not alone. - -Now that was distinctly exasperating, and an unwarrantable -breach of an implied contract. - -"Two's company," I said, in a tone of voice that was meant to -indicate something of what I felt. - -"So's three," said DOLLY, laughing, "if the third doesn't count." - -"_Quod est demonstrandum._" - -"Well, it's like this. I observed that you've already published -twenty or so 'Dolly Dialogues.'" (The dimples at this period were -absolutely bewitching, but I controlled myself.) "So it occurred to -me that it was my turn to earn an honest penny. Allow me to -introduce you. Mr. BROWN, Mr. CARTER--Mr. CARTER, Mr. BROWN." - -I murmured that any friend of Lady MICKLEHAM'S was a friend of mine, -whereat Mr. BROWN smiled affably and handed me his card, from which I -gathered that he was a shorthand writer at some address in Chancery -Lane. Then I understood it all. I had exploited DOLLY. DOLLY was now -engaged in the process of exploiting me. - -"I hope," I observed rather icily, "that you will choose a respectable -paper." - -"You don't mean that." - -"Perhaps not. But if we are to have a Dialogue, perhaps we might begin. -I have an engagement at six." - -"Telegraph, and put the contents down to my account." - -I noticed now that DOLLY had a pile of papers on her table, and that she -was playing with a blue pencil. - -"Yes, Lady MICKLEHAM," I said, in the provisional way in which judges -indicate to counsel that they are ready to proceed. - -"Well, I've been reading some of the Press Notices of the Dialogues, Mr. -CARTER." - -I trembled. I remembered some of the things that had been said about -DOLLY and myself, which hardly lent themselves, it appeared to me, to -this third party procedure. - -"I thought," pursued DOLLY, "we might spend the time in discussing the -critics." - -"I shall be delighted, if in doing that we shall dismiss the reporter." - -"Have you seen this? It's from a Scotch paper--Scottish? you -suggest--well, Scottish. 'The sketches are both lively and elegant, and -their lightness is just what people want in the warm weather.'" - -"It's a satisfaction to think that even our little breezes are a source -of cool comfort to our fellow-creatures." - -"Here's another criticism. 'It's a book which tempts the reader----'" - -"It must have been something you said." - -"'----a book which tempts the reader to peruse from end to end when once -he picks it up.'" - -"'Read at a Sitting: A Study in Colour.'" - -"Please, Mr. BROWN, don't take that down." - -"Thank you, Lady MICKLEHAM," said I. "_Litera scripta manet._" - -"You are not the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. CARTER, and you must -break yourself of the habit." - -"The next cutting?" - -"The next says, 'For Mr. CARTER, the hero or reporter----'" - -"It's a calumny. I don't know a single shorthand symbol." - -"Let me go on. 'Reporter of these polite conversations, we confess we -have no particular liking.'" - -"If you assure me you did not write this yourself, Lady MICKLEHAM, I -care not who did." - -"That, Mr. BROWN," said DOLLY, in a most becoming frown, -"must _on no account_ go down." - -"When you have finished intimidating the Press, perhaps you -will finish the extract." - -"'His cynicism,'" she read, "'is too strained to commend him to -ordinary mortals----'" - -"No one would ever accuse you of being in that category." - -"'----but his wit is undeniable, and his impudence delicious.' -Well, Mr. CARTER?" - -"I should like the extract concluded." I knew the next sentence -commenced--"As for DOLLY, Lady MICKLEHAM, she outdoes all the -revolted daughters of feminine fiction." - -Then an annoying thing happened. ARCHIE'S voice was heard, -saying, "DOLLY, haven't you finished that Dialogue yet? We -ought to dress for dinner. It'll take us an hour to drive there." - -So it had been all arranged, and ARCHIE knew for what I had been -summoned. - -Yet there are compensations. DOLLY sent the Dialogue to the only -paper which I happen to edit. I regretfully declined it.

Lady CULVERIN _is alone, glancing over a written list._ - -_Lady Cantire (entering)._ Down already, ALBINIA? I _thought_ if I made -haste I should get a quiet chat with you before anybody else came in. -What is that paper? Oh, the list of couples for RUPERT. May I see? (_As_ -Lady CULVERIN _surrenders it_.) My dear, you're _not_ going to inflict -that mincing little PILLINER boy on poor MAISIE! That really _won't do_. -At least let her have somebody she's used to. Why not Captain -THICKNESSE? He's an old friend, and she's not seen him for months. I -must alter that, if you've no objection. (_She does._) And then you've -given my poor Poet to that SPELWANE girl! Now, _why_? - -_Lady Culverin._ I thought she wouldn't mind putting up with him just -for one evening. - -_Lady Cant._ Wouldn't _mind_! Putting up with him! And is that how you -speak of a celebrity when you are so fortunate as to have one to -entertain? _Really_, ALBINIA! - -_Lady Culv._ But, my dear ROHESIA, you must allow that, whatever his -talents may be, he is not--well, not _quite_ one of Us. Now, _is_ he? - -_Lady Cant._ (_blandly_). My dear, I never heard he had any connection -with the manufacture of chemical manures, in which your worthy Papa so -greatly distinguished himself--if _that_ is what you mean. - -_Lady Culv._ (_with some increase of colour_). That is _not_ what I -meant, ROHESIA--as you know perfectly well. And I do say that this Mr. -SPURRELL'S manner is most objectionable; when he's not obsequious, he's -horribly familiar! - -_Lady Cant._ (_sharply_). I have not observed it. He strikes me as well -enough--for that class of person. And it is intellect, soul, all that -kind of thing that _I_ value. I look _below_ the surface, and I find a -great deal that is very original and charming in this young man. And -surely, my dear, if I find myself able to associate with him, _you_ need -not be so fastidious! I consider him my _protégé_, and I won't have him -slighted. He is far too good for VIVIEN SPELWANE! - -_Lady Culv._ (_with just a suspicion of malice_). Perhaps, ROHESIA, you -would like him to take _you_ in? - -_Lady Cant._ That, of course, is quite out of the question. I see you -have given me the Bishop--he's a poor, dry stick of a man--never forgets -he was the Headmaster of Swisham--but he's always glad to meet _me_. I -freshen him up so. - -_Lady Culv._ I really don't know whom I _can_ give Mr. SPURRELL. There's -RHODA COKAYNE, but she's not poetical, and she'll get on much better -with ARCHIE BEARPARK. Oh, I forgot Mrs. BROOKE-CHATTERIS--she's sure to -_talk_, at all events. - -_Lady Cant._ (_as she corrects the list_). A lively, agreeable -woman--she'll amuse him. _Now_ you can give RUPERT the list. - - [Sir RUPERT _and various members of the house-party appear one by - one;_ Lord _and_ Lady LULLINGTON, _the_ Bishop of BIRCHESTER _and_ - Mrs. RODNEY, _and_ Mr. and Mrs. EARWAKER, _and_ Mr. SHORTHORN _are - announced at intervals; salutations, recognitions, and commonplaces - are exchanged_. - -_Lady Cant._ (_later--to the_ Bishop, _genially_). Ah, my dear Dr. -RODNEY, you and I haven't met since we had our great battle about--now, -was it the necessity of throwing open the Public Schools to the lower -classes--for whom of course they were originally _intended_--or was it -the failure of the Church to reach the Working Man? I really forget. - -_The Bishop_ (_who has a holy horror of the_ Countess). I--ah--fear -I cannot charge my memory so precisely, my dear Lady CANTIRE. -We--ah--differ unfortunately on so many subjects. I trust, however, we -may--ah--agree to suspend hostilities on this occasion? - -_Lady Cant._ (_with even more bonhomie_). Don't be too sure of _that_, -Bishop. I've several crows to pluck with you, and we are to go in to -dinner together, you know! - -_The Bishop._ Indeed? I had no conception that such a pleasure was in -store for me! (_To himself._) This must be the penance for breaking my -rule of never dining out on Saturday! Severe--but merited! - -_Lady Cant._ I wonder, Bishop, if you have seen this wonderful volume of -poetry that everyone is talking about--_Andromeda_? - -_The Bishop_ (_conscientiously_). I chanced only this morning, by way of -momentary relaxation, to take up a journal containing a notice of that -work, with copious extracts. The impression left on my mind -was--ah--unfavourable; a certain talent, no doubt, some felicity of -expression, but a noticeable lack of the--ah--reticence, the discipline, -the--the scholarly touch which a training at one of our great Public -Schools (I forbear to particularise), and at a University, can alone -impart. I was also pained to observe a crude discontent with the -existing Social System--a system which, if not absolutely perfect, -cannot be upset or even modified without the gravest danger. But I was -still more distressed to note in several passages a decided taint of the -morbid sensuousness which renders so much of our modern literature -sickly and unwholesome. - -_Lady Cant._ All prejudice, my dear Bishop; why, you haven't even _read_ -the book! However, the author is staying here now, and I feel convinced -that if you only knew him, you'd alter your opinion. Such an unassuming, -inoffensive creature! There, he's just come in. I'll call him over -here.... Goodness, why does he shuffle along in that way! - -_Spurrell_ (_meeting_ Sir RUPERT). Hope I've kept nobody waiting for -_me_, Sir RUPERT. (_Confidentially._) I'd rather a job to get these -things on; but they're really a wonderful fit, considering! - - [_He passes on, leaving his host speechless._ - -_Lady Cant._ That's right, Mr. SPURRELL. Come here, and let me present -you to the Bishop of BIRCHESTER. The Bishop has just been telling me he -considers your _Andromeda_ sickly, or unhealthy, or something. I'm sure -you'll be able to convince him it's nothing of the sort. - - [_She leaves him with the_ Bishop, _who is visibly annoyed._ - -_Spurr._ (_to himself, overawed_). Oh, Lor! Wish I knew the right way to -talk to a Bishop. Can't call _him_ nothing--so doosid familiar. -(_Aloud._) _Andromeda_ sickly, your--(_tentatively_)--your Right -Reverence? Not a bit of it--sound as a roach! - -_The Bishop._ If I had thought my--ah--criticisms were to be repeated--I -might say misrepresented, as the Countess has thought proper to do, Mr. -SPURRELL, I should not have ventured to make them. At the same time, you -must be conscious yourself, I think, of certain blemishes which would -justify the terms I employed. - -_Spurr._ I never saw any in _Andromeda_ myself, your--your Holiness. -You're the first to find a fault in her. I don't say there mayn't be -something dicky about the setting and the turn of the tail, but that's a -trifle. - -_The Bishop._ I did not refer to the setting of the tale, and the -portions I object to are scarcely trifles. But pardon me if I prefer to -end a discussion that is somewhat unprofitable. (_To himself, as he -turns on his heel._) A most arrogant, self-satisfied, and conceited -young man--a truly lamentable product of this half-educated age! - -_Spurr._ (_to himself_). Well, he may be a dab at dogmas--he don't know -much about dogs. _Drummy_'s got a constitution worth a dozen of _his_! - -_Lady Culv._ (_approaching him_). Oh, Mr. SPURRELL, Lord LULLINGTON -wishes to know you. If you will come with me. (_To herself, as she leads -him up to_ Lord L.) I do _wish_ ROHESIA wouldn't force me to do this -sort of thing! - - [_She presents him._ - -_Lord Lullington_ (_to himself_). I suppose I _ought_ to know all -about his novel, or whatever it is he's done. (_Aloud, with -courtliness._) Very pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr. SPURRELL; -you've--ah--delighted the world by your _Andromeda_. When are we to look -for your next production? Soon, I hope. - -_Spurr._ (_to himself_). He's after a pup now! Never met such a doggy -lot in my life! (_Aloud._) Er--well, my lord, I've promised so many as -it is, that I hardly see my way to---- - -_Lord Lull._ (_paternally_). Take my advice, my dear young man, leave -yourself as free as possible. Expect you to give us your best, you know. - - [_He turns to continue a conversation._ - -_Spurr._ (_to himself_). _Give_ it! He won't get it under a five-pound -note, I can tell him. (_He makes his way to_ Miss SPELWANE.) I say, what -do you think the old Bishop's been up to? Pitching into _Andromeda_ like -the very dooce--says she's _sickly_! - -_Miss Spelwane_ (_to herself_). He brings his literary disappointments -to _me_, not MAISIE! (_Aloud, with the sweetest sympathy._) How -dreadfully unjust! Oh, I've dropped my fan--no, pray don't trouble; I -can pick it up. My arms are so long, you know--like a kangaroo's--no, -what _is_ that animal which has such long arms? You're so clever, you -_ought_ to know! - -_Spurr._ I suppose you mean a gorilla? - -_Miss Spelw._ How crushing of you! But you must go away now, or else -you'll find nothing to say to me at dinner--you take me in, you know. I -hope you feel privileged. I feel----But if I told you, I might make you -too conceited! - -_Spurr._ Oh, no, you wouldn't. - - [Sir RUPERT _approaches with_ Mr. SHORTHORN. - -_Sir Rupert._ VIVIEN, my dear, let me introduce Mr. SHORTHORN--Miss -SPELWANE. (_To_ SPURRELL.) Let me see--ha--yes, you take in Mrs. -CHATTERIS. Don't know her? Come this way, and I'll find her for you. - - [_He marches_ SPURRELL _off._ - -_Mr. Shorthorn_ (_to_ Miss SPELWANE). Good thing getting this rain at -last; a little more of this dry weather and we should have had no grass -to speak of! - -_Miss Spelw._ (_who has not quite recovered from her disappointment_). -And now you _will_ have some grass to speak of? _How_ fortunate! - -_Spurr._ (_as dinner is announced, to_ Lady MAISIE). I say, Lady MAISIE, -I've just been told I've got to take in a married lady. I don't know -what to talk to her about. I should feel a lot more at home with you. -Couldn't we manage it somehow? - -_Lady Maisie_ (_to herself_). What a fearful suggestion--but I simply -_daren't_ snub him! (_Aloud._) I'm afraid, Mr. SPURRELL, we must both -put up with the partners we have; most distressing, isn't it--_but_! - - [_She gives a little shrug._ - -_Captain Thicknesse_ (_immediately behind her, to himself_). Gad, -_that_'s pleasant! I knew I'd better have gone to Aldershot! (_Aloud._) -I've been told off to take you in, Lady MAISIE, not _my_ fault, don't -you know. - -_Lady Maisie._ There's no need to be so apologetic about it. (_To -herself._) Oh, I _hope_ he didn't hear what I said to that wretch. - -_Capt. Thick._ Well, I rather thought there _might_ be, perhaps. - -_Lady Maisie_ (_to herself_). He _did_ hear it. If he's going to be so -stupid as to misunderstand, I'm sure _I_ shan't explain. - - [_They take their place in the procession to the Dining Hall._ - -[Illustration: "I'd rather a job to get these things on; but they're -really a wonderful fit, considering!"] - - * * * * * - -RATIONAL DRESS. - -(_A Reformer's Note to a Current Controversy._) - -[Illustration] - - OH, ungallant must be the man indeed - Who calls "nine women out of ten" "knock-kneed"! - And he should not remain in peace for long, - Who says "the nether limbs of women" are "all wrong." - Such are the arguments designed to prove - That Woman's ill-advised to make a move - To mannish clothes.

BELINDA, after a year's hard writing, had -completed her self-appointed task. _Douglas the Doomed One_ had grown by -degrees into its present proportions. First the initial volume was -completed; then the second was finished; and now the third was ready for -the printer's hands. But who should have it? Ah, there was the rub! -BELINDA knew no publishers and had no influence. How could she get -anyone to take the novel up? And yet, if she was to believe the -_Author_, there was plenty of room for untried talent. According to that -interesting periodical publishers were constantly on the lookout for -undiscovered genius. Why should she not try the firm of Messrs. BINDING -AND PRINT? She made up her mind. She set her face hard, and muttered, -"Yes, they _shall_ do it! _Douglas the Doomed One_ shall appear with the -assistance of Messrs. BINDING AND PRINT!" And when BELINDA made up her -mind to do anything, not wild omnibus-horses would turn her from her -purpose. - -[Illustration] - -VOLUME II.--_Wide Awake._ - -Messrs. BINDING AND PRINT had received their visitor with courtesy. They -did not require to read _Douglas the Doomed One_. They had discovered -that it was sufficiently long to make the regulation three volumes. That -was all that was necessary. They would accept it. They would be happy to -publish it. - -"And about terms?" murmured BELINDA. - -"Half profits," returned Mr. BINDING, with animation. - -"When we have paid for the outlay we shall divide the residue," cried -Mr. PRINT. - -"And do you think I shall soon get a cheque?" asked the anxious -authoress. - -"Well, that is a question not easy to answer. You see, we usually spend -any money we make in advertising. It does the work good in the long run, -although at first it rather checks the profits." - -BELINDA was satisfied, and took her departure. - -"We must advertise _Douglas the Doomed One_ in the _Skatemaker's -Quarterly Magazine_," said Mr. BINDER. - -"And in the _Crossing Sweeper's Annual_," replied Mr. PRINT. Then the -two partners smiled at one another knowingly. They laughed as they -remembered that of both the periodicals they had mentioned they were the -proprietors. - -VOLUME III.--_Fast Asleep._ - -The poor patient at Slocum-on-Slush moaned. He had been practically -awake for a month, and nothing could send him to sleep. The Doctor held -his wrist, and as he felt the rapid beats of his pulse became graver and -graver. - -"And you have no friends, no relatives?" - -"No. My only visitor was the man who brought that box of books from a -metropolitan library." - -"A box of books!" exclaimed the Doctor. "There may yet be time to save -his life!" - -The man of science rose abruptly, and approaching the casket containing -the current literature of the day, roughly forced it open. He hurriedly -inspected its contents. He turned over the volumes impatiently until he -reached a set. - -"The very thing!" he murmured. "If I can but get him to read this he -will be saved." Then turning to his patient he continued, "You should -peruse this novel. It is one that I recommend in cases such as yours." - -"I am afraid I am past reading," returned the invalid. "However, I will -do my best." - -An hour later the Doctor (who had had to make some calls) returned and -found that his patient was sleeping peacefully. The first volume of -_Douglas the Doomed One_ had the desired result. - -"Excellent, excellent," murmured the medico. "It had the same effect -upon another of my patients. The crisis is over! He will now recover -like the other. Insomnia has been conquered for the second time by -_Douglas the Doomed One_, and who now shall say that the three-volume -novel of the amateur is not a means of spreading civilisation? It must -be a mine of wealth to somebody." - -And Messrs. BINDING AND PRINT, had they heard the Doctor's remark, -would have agreed with him! - - * * * * * - -All the Difference. - - "THE SPEAKER then called Mr. LITTLE to order." - Quite right in our wise and most vigilant warder. - He calls us to order! Oh that, without fuss, - The SPEAKER could only call Order to us! - - * * * * * - -[Illustration: RES ANGUSTA DOMI. - -(_In a Children's Hospital._) - -"MY PORE YABBIT'S DEAD!" - -"HOW SAD!" - -"DADDA KILLED MY PORE YABBIT IN BACK KITCHEN!" - -"OH DEAR!" - -"I HAD TATERS WIV MY PORE YABBIT!"] - - * * * * * - -"A LITTLE TOO PREVIOUS!" - - ["I desire to submit that this is a very great question, which will - have to be determined, but upon a very different ground from that of - the salaries of the officers of the House of Lords....

I'll go stalking of the deer!" - For this little cove was slightly off his head, head, head. - - This ambitious little lad was a Paddy and a Rad, - And himself he rather fancied as a shot, shot, shot; - And he held the rules of sport, and close season, and, in short, - The "regulation rubbish" was all rot, rot, rot. - - He held a "bird" a thing to be potted on the wing, - Or perched upon a hedge, or up a tree, tree, tree; - And, says he, "If a foine stag I can add to my small bag, - A pistol _or_ a Maxim will suit me, me, me!" - - And so upon all fours he would crawl about the moors, - To the detriment of elbows, knees, and slack, slack, slack; - And he says, "What use a-talking?

My doctor's fee - Absorbs too much. Alas! I cannot be - An inmate there myself; he comes to me - At home. - - Do not suppose I have too close a fist. - Rent, rates, bills, taxes, make a fearful list; - I should be homeless if I did assist - That home. - - I must--it is my impecunious lot-- - Economise the little I have got; - So if I see you coming I am "not - At home." - - My clothes are shabby.

"The fate of this fair realm of England depends upon the -promptness with which you assume command." - -OLIVER CROMWELL paused. He had laid aside his buff doublet, and had -donned a coat of a thinner material. His sword also was gone, and -hanging by his side was a pair of double spy-glasses--new in those -days--new in very deed. - -"I cannot go," cried the Lord Protector at last, "it would be too great -a sacrifice." - -"You said not that," pursued IRETON--for it was he--"when you called -upon CHARLES to lose his head." - -"But in this case, good sooth, I would wish a head to be won, or the -victory to be by a head;" and then the Uncrowned King laughed long and -heartily, as was his wont when some jest tickled him. - -"This is no matter for merriment," exclaimed IRETON sternly. "OLIVER, -you are playing the fool. You are sacrificing for pleasure, business, -duty." - -"Well, I cannot help it," was the response. "But mind you, IRETON, it -shall be the last time." - -"What is it that attracts you so strongly? What is the pleasure that -lures you away from the path of duty?" - -"I will tell you, and then you will pity, perchance forgive me. To-day -my horse runs at Epsom. With luck his chance is a certainty. So -farewell." Then the two old friends grasped hands and parted. One went -to fight on the blood-stained field of battle, and the other to see the -race for the Derby. - - * * * * * - -ON A CLUMSY CRICKETER. - - At TIMBERTOES his Captain rails - As one in doleful dumps; - Oft given "leg before"--the bails, - Not bat before--the stumps. - The Genevese Professor YUNG - Believes the time approaches - When man will lose his legs, ill-slung, - Through trams, cars, cabs, and coaches; - Or that those nether limbs will be - The merest of survivals. - The thought fills TIMBERTOES with glee, - No more he'll fear his rivals. - "Without these bulky, blundering pegs - I shall not fail to score, - For if a man has got no legs, - He _can't_ get 'leg-before.'" - - * * * * * - -SITTING ON OUR SENATE. - -SIR,--It struck me that the best and simplest way of finding out what -were the intentions of the Government with regard to the veto of the -Peers was to write and ask each individual Member his opinion on the -subject. Accordingly I have done so, and it seems to me that there is a -vast amount of significance in the nature of the replies I have -received, to anyone capable of reading between the lines; or, as most of -the communications only extended to a single line, let us say to anyone -capable of reading beyond the full-stop. Lord ROSEBERY'S Secretary, for -example, writes that "the Prime Minister is at present out of town"--_at -present_, you see, but obviously on the point of coming back, in order -to grapple with my letter and the question generally. Sir WILLIAM -HARCOURT, his Secretary, writes, "is at Wiesbaden, but upon his return -your communication will no doubt receive his attention"--_receive his -attention_, an ominous phrase for the Peers, who seem hardly to realise -that between them and ruin there is only the distance from Wiesbaden to -Downing Street. Then Mr. MORLEY "sees no reason to alter his published -opinion on the subject"--_alter_, how readily, by the prefixing of a -single letter, that word becomes _halter_! I was unable to effect -personal service of my letter on the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, possibly because -I called at his chambers during the Long Vacation; but the fact that a -card should have been attached to his door bearing the words "Back at 2 -P.M." surely indicates that Sir JOHN RIGBY will _back up_ his leaders in -any approaching attack on the fortress of feudalism! Then surely the -circumstance that the other Ministers to whom my letters were addressed -_have not as yet sent any answer_ shows how seriously they regard the -situation, and how disinclined they are to commit themselves to a too -hasty reply! In fact, the outlook for the House of Lords, judging from -these Ministerial communications, is decidedly gloomy, and I am inclined -to think that an Autumn Session devoted to abolishing it is a most -probable eventuality. - - Yours, - - FUSSY-CUSS EXSPECTANS. - -SIR,--The real way of dealing with the Lords is as follows. The next -time that they want to meet, cut off their gas and water! Tell the -butcher and baker _not_ to call at the House for orders, and dismiss the -charwomen who dust their bloated benches. If _this_ doesn't bring them -to reason, nothing will. - -HIGH-MINDED DEMOCRAT. - - * * * * * - -IN PRAISE OF BOYS. - -(_By an "Old One."_) - - ["A Mother of Boys," angry with Mr. JAMES PAYN for his dealings with - "that barbarous race," suggests that as an _amende honorable_ he - should write a book in praise of boys.] - - In praise of boys?

Isn't the old good enough? My -connection--as a shareholder--with one of our leading gas companies, -enables me to state authoritatively that no new gas is required by the -public. I am surprised that a nobleman like Lord RAYLEIGH should even -attempt to make such a thoroughly useless, and, indeed, revolutionary -discovery. It is enough to turn anyone into a democrat at once.

(so a worthy Baronite reports) comes a second -edition of _Game Birds and Shooting Sketches_, by JOHN GUILLE MILLAIS. -Every sportsman who is something more than a mere bird-killer ought to -buy this beautiful book. Mr. MILLAIS' drawings are wonderfully delicate, -and, so far as I can judge, remarkably accurate. He has a fine touch for -plumage, and renders with extraordinary success the bold and resolute -bearing of the British game-bird in the privacy of his own peculiar -haunts. I am glad the public have shown themselves sufficiently -appreciative to warrant Mr. MILLAIS in putting forth a second edition of -a book which is the beautiful and artistic result of very many days of -patient and careful observation. By the way, there is an illustration of -a Blackcock Tournament, which is, for knock-about primitive humour, as -good as a pantomime rally. One more by-the-way. Are we in future to -spell Capercailzie with an extra l in place of the z, as Mr. MILLAIS -spells it? Surely it is rather wanton thus to annihilate the pride of -the sportsman who knew what was what, and who never pronounced the z. If -you take away the z you take away all merit from him. Perhaps Mr. -MILLAIS will consider the matter in his third edition. - -THE BARON DE B.-W. - - * * * * * - -WET-WILLOW. - -A SONG OF A SLOPPY SEASON. - -(_By a Washed-Out Willow-Wielder._) - -AIR--"_Titwillow._" - - In the dull, damp pavilion a popular "Bat" - Sang "Willow, wet-willow, wet-willow!" - And I said "Oh! great slogger, pray what are you at, - Singing 'Willow, wet-willow, wet-willow'? - Is it lowness of average, batsman," I cried; - "Or a bad 'brace of ducks' that has lowered your pride?" - With a low-muttered swear-word or two he replied, - "Oh willow, wet-willow, wet-willow!" - - He said "In the mud one can't score, anyhow, - Singing willow, wet-willow, wet-willow! - The people are raising a deuce of a row, - Oh willow, wet-willow, wet-willow! - I've been waiting all day in these flannels--they're damp!-- - The spectators impatiently shout, shriek, and stamp, - But a batsman, you see, cannot play with a Gamp, - Oh willow, wet-willow, wet-willow! - - "Now I feel just as sure as I am that my name - Isn't willow, wet-willow, wet-willow, - The people will swear that I don't play the game, - Oh willow, wet-willow, wet-willow! - My spirits are low and my scores are not high, - But day after day we've soaked turf and grey sky, - And I shan't have a chance till the wickets get dry, - Oh willow, wet-willow, wet-willow!!!" - - * * * * * - -INVALIDED! - -_Deplorable Result of the Forecast of Aug. 23 on the "D.

All but he have fled. Now his -opportunity; will show jealous colleagues, watchful House, and -interested country, how a party should be led. Had an innings on -Saturday, when, in favourite character of Dompter of British and other -Lions, he worried Under Secretaries for Foreign Affairs and the -Colonies. Didn't get much out of them. In fact what happened seems to -confirm quaint theory SARK advances. - -Says he believes those two astute young men, EDWARD GREY and SYDNEY -BUXTON, "control" the Sheffield Knight. They are active and ambitious. -Still only juniors. Moreover, things are managed so well both at -Foreign Office and Colonial Office that they have no opportunity of -distinguishing themselves. The regular representatives on the Front -Opposition Bench of Foreign Affairs and Colonies say nothing; -patriotically acquiescent in management of concerns in respect of which -it is the high tradition of English statesmanship that the political -game shall not be played. In such circumstances no opening for able -young men. But, suppose they could induce some blatant, irresponsible -person, persistently to put groundless questions, and make insinuations -derogatory to the character of British statesmen at home and British -officials abroad? Then they step in, and, amid applause on both sides of -House, knock over the intruder. Sort of game of House of Commons -nine-pins. Nine-pin doesn't care so that it's noticed; admirable -practice for young Parliamentary Hands. - -_Invaluable to Budding Statesmen._] - -This is SARK'S suggestion of explanation of phenomenon. Fancy much -simpler one might be found. To-night BARTLETT-ELLIS in better luck. -Turns upon ATTORNEY-GENERAL; darkly hints that escape of JABEZ was a -put-up job, of which Law Officers of the Crown might, an' they would, -disclose some interesting particulars. RIGBY, who, when he bends his -step towards House of Commons, seems to leave all his shrewdness and -knowledge of the world in his chambers, rose to the fly; played -BASHMEAD-ARTLETT'S obvious game by getting angry, and delivering long -speech whilst progress of votes, hitherto going on swimmingly, was -arrested for fully an hour. - -_Business done._--Supply voted with both hands. - -_Tuesday._--A precious sight, one worthy of the painter's or sculptor's -art, to see majestic figure of SQUIRE OF MALWOOD standing between House -of Lords and imminent destruction. Irish members and Radicals opposite -have sworn to have blood of the Peers. SAGE OF QUEEN ANNE'S GATE is -taking the waters elsewhere. In his absence do the best we can. Sat up -all last night, the Radicals trying to get at the Lords by the kitchen -entrance; SQUIRE withstanding them till four o'clock in the morning. -Began again to-night. Education Vote on, involving expenditure of six -millions and welfare of innumerable children. Afterwards the Post Office -Vote, upon which the Postmaster-General, ST. ARNOLD-LE-GRAND, endeavours -to reply to HENNIKER-HEATON without betraying consciousness of bodily -existence of such a person. These matters of great and abiding interest; -but only few members present to discuss them. The rest waiting outside -till the lists are cleared and battle rages once more round citadel of -the Lords sullenly sentineled by detachment from the Treasury Bench. - -When engagement reopened SQUIRE gone for his holiday trip, postponed by -the all-night sitting, JOHN MORLEY on guard. Breaks force of assault by -protest that the time is inopportune. By-and-by the Lords shall be -handed over to tender mercies of gentlemen below gangway. Not just now, -and not in this particular way. CHIEF SECRETARY remembers famous case of -absentee landlord not to be intimidated by the shooting of his agent. So -Lords, he urges, not to be properly punished for throwing out Evicted -Tenants Bill by having the salaries of the charwomen docked, and BLACK -ROD turned out to beg his bread. - -Radicals at least not to be denied satisfaction of division. Salaries -of House of Lords staff secured for another year by narrow majority -of 31. - -_Business done._--Nearly all. - -_Wednesday._--The SQUIRE OF MALWOOD at last got off for his well-earned -holiday. Carries with him consciousness of having done supremely well -amid difficulties of peculiar complication. As JOSEPH in flush of -unexpected and still unexplained frankness testified, the Session will -in its accomplished work beat the record of any in modern times. The -SQUIRE been admirably backed by a rare team of colleagues; but in House -of Commons everything depends on the Leader. Had the Session been a -failure, upon his head would have fallen obloquy. As it has been a -success, his be the praise. - -"Well, good bye," said JOHN MORLEY, tears standing in his tender eyes as -he wrung the hand of the almost Lost Leader. "But you know it's not all -over yet. There's the Appropriation Bill. What shall we do if WEIR comes -up on Second Reading?" - -"Oh, dam WEIR," said the SQUIRE. - -JOHN MORLEY inexpressibly shocked. For a moment thought a usually -equable temper had been ruffled by the almost continuous work of twenty -months, culminating in an all-night sitting. On reflection he saw that -the SQUIRE was merely adapting an engineering phrase, describing a -proceeding common enough on river courses. The only point on which -remark open to criticism is that it is tautological. - -_Business done._--Appropriation Bill brought in. - -_Thursday._--GEORGE NEWNES looked in just now; much the same as ever; -the same preoccupied, almost pensive look; a mind weighed down by -ever-multiplying circulation. Troubled with consideration of proposal -made to him to publish special edition of _Strand Magazine_ in tongue -understanded of the majority of the peoples of India. Has conquered -the English-speaking race from Chatham to Chattanooga, from Southampton -to Sydney. Now lo! The poor Indian brings his annas, and begs a boon. - -Meanwhile one of the candidates for vacant Poet Laureateship has broken -out into elegiac verse. "NEWNES," he exclaims, - - "NEWNES, noble hearted, shine, for ever shine; - Though not of royal, yet of hallowed line." - -That sort of thing would make some men vain. There is no couplet to -parallel it since the famous one written by POPE on a place frequented -by a Sovereign whose death is notorious, a place where - - Great ANNA, whom three realms obey, - Did sometimes counsel take and sometimes tea. - -The poet, whose volume bears the proudly humble pseudonym "A Village -Peasant," should look in at the House of Commons and continue his -studies. There are a good many of us here worth a poet's attention. SARK -says the thing is easy enough. "Toss 'em off in no time," says he. -"There's the SQUIRE now, who has not lately referred to his Plantagenet -parentage. Apostrophising him in Committee on Evicted Tenants Bill one -might have said:-- - - SQUIRE, noble hearted, shine, for ever shine; - Though not of hallowed yet of royal line." - -_Business done._--Appropriation Bill read second time. WEIR turned up. -Sir WILFRID LAWSON and others said "Dam." - -_Saturday._--Appropriation Bill read third time this morning. -Prorogation served with five o'clock tea. - -"Parleyment!" said one of the House of Commons waiters loitering at the -gateway of Palace Yard and replying to inquiring visitor from the -country. "Parleyment's horff."
