Advice to an Author,

"In spite of the acid criticism of superior people, a good love story with a happy ending will always remain the most popular type of novel."

-LADIES' PAPER, If you're starting as an author, And you're anxious to succeed, You must write the sort of novels Which the Public like to read. It is quite a simple business, You can take the fact from me;

My advice is worth attention, And I do not charge a fee.

But now we hate you to a finish: May you still mare and more din Your hero to the heroine

In a little green lane, where the

wild roses blow, There's a cottage I'm longing to

600;

At the window, I know, are two

fond eyes aglow With a welcome that's only for

me,

There's dear little garden, so trim,

and so neat,

Where I'm longing to wander

again And I've ne'er heard a carol so

clear and so sweet As the birds sing in Apple Tree

Lane.

Refrain.

By the high-brow falk-in-Chelsea, Where such products freely grow, You'll be bitterly derided, But you needn't mind the blow; With whatever caustic brilliance They may exercise their wits, While they're eating eggs and bacon You'll be dining at the Ritz.

Lower Army Pay.

Reduced pay for the Fighting Services and longer hours for Civil Servants are the main recom- mendations of the committee ap- pointed to inquire into the pay and conditions of State servants. It is suggested that initial rate for an Army recruit be reduced from 25. gd. to Is. éd., pay of corresponding ranks appointed in future also to be reduced. The Committee is of opinion that far too many Govern ment inspectors are employed in
