Lines to A Londoner.

On reading of the efforts of the L.C.C. evening institutes to encou rage the study of modem langų- ages.

Herbert, I hear that you intend

To occupy your leisure hours Till "winter-time" comes to an end By testing your linguistic powers: I've lately learned, in fact, by

chance.

That you propose to stuff your

brain

Full of the facile speech of France And the smooth tongue of Spain,

Hearty congratulations, Herb!

And though the grammars prove

a bore

I trust no force majeure will curb

Your hunger for this allen lore. Rather, I hope your latest splash

May aid you in your job ere long, And help you in some future dasht

Off to the continong. Forgive me here if I reflect

That there's one language in your

reach

Well worth your trouble to select And stick to also like a leech. So if of foreign talk you tire,

Might I suggest that you arrange In your odd moments to acquire King's English for a change?

-ARTHUR KIDD.

The Wedding Garment,

At a recent wedding sweets were used instead of confetti.

Bring me a top coat of armour,

See that the chain mail is stout, Bring me such boots as are worn

by a farmer,

Fetch my old cricket pads out; These will forbid me to falter, Driving my tremors away, Sending me free from alarm to the

altar-

I'm to be married to-day.

Not in the orthodox topper,

Not in the frock coat of yore F'd be apparelled, but rather the

proper

Wear for the waging of war; Though, when the word has been

spoken

And in the porch we appear, Friends begin flinging their luck-

bringing token,

I shall have nothing to fear.

Happy I'll be at our splicing,

Once I'm prepared for the shock, Caused by bombardment with

coconut icing

Mingled with peppermint rock; Nothing shall cause me to grumble,

Smiling Tll go through it all, Girt in apparel that beats off the

jumible,

Baffles the aniseed ball.
