I disagree with many viowa
you hold;
But yet I'd like to smack you
of the back
And call you" comrade," might,
I mako so bold,
For I have found, there is one
common spor
Where I and you can toe a
mutual line;
"Tis this (believe me or believe)
me not):
Your handicap at golf's the

I am eagerly looking forward to the Lord Mayor of London's banquet. Not that I shall be there as unfortunately I have to have a singing lesson that even-
ing, quite apart from the fact that at the moment of going to press niy invitation hasn't arrived. But I do like reading about all the nobe. who will be there, and specu- lating as to how I should get on if I were u guest and found my
elf sitting between, say, the Prince of Wales and the Countess of Oxford and Asquith. I'd love to be able to swank when I got home that H.R.H. had said to me, "After you with the pickles," and that I had pulled a wish-bone with Margot.
Talking about food, did you read that some eminent. gentle- man at the recent Medical Con- gress declared that we ale too much salt with our meals? As I understand the matter, it would appoar that wo take salt in order to replace the natural salts in our food which disappear in the cook- ing, and that in order to derive the full benefit from these natural salts we ought to eat our meals raw. At any rate, this is the:
view held by that famous djete.
Welcome, welcome, little blain Here you are thon, once again Harbinger of winter's snow, Snugly porched on my big too! Though you look so smooth and
pink,
You would drive a chap to
