VANISHED LONDON DAYS.

MEMORIES OF A "PINK UN ** HUMOURIST.

Old Pak 7 Days. By J. B. Booth

(Grant Richards).

Mr. Booth has written entertainingly ad sometimes pathetically-of the years when he and a cheerful band of companions filled the columns of the Sporting Times with wit and humour. Not many of that band are left, and London which knew them so well bas changed almost beyond imagination? but the younger generation will be glad ip have this record of them, and such a feast of good stories as Mr. Booth pro- vides in his pages.

The motto of the paper was a com mendable on High Toryist. High Churchism, High Farming and Old Port for ever-and the Pink Un runde his tory

We are told how Nyllie Farren went to deliver an ultimatum to John Hol lingshead, of the old Gaiety, for her salary. It was to be a case of No pay, no play." Referring to this meeting, Bill asked her how she had got on.

My dear boy, she replied, with a pathetic smile, John is quite hopeless. Not only did he get me to postpone my demand for arrears, but be per- suaded me to buy the piano in the green-room

Mr. Booth notes the far greater vogue of music-hall songs in those times and the singular hold which the Vances and the Leybornes had on the public.

Competition was vastly keener. In apy one year of, the 'seventies there were on the list of London music-hall artists at last 250 comic singtrs. the same number of serio-comics.forty Irish comic singers, and a couple of hundred of sentimental singers, and ut least a hundred well-known duet Lista.".

SHINGLING IN 1857.

AND BOBBING IN 1750.

WHAT THE WORDS REALLY MEAN,

"I wonder how many women whose hair is either hobbed or shingled know the real meaning of these words " writes a correspondent in a London paper.

Contrary to popular belief, neither of tbeth is a product of twentieth-century shaug.

The verb to shingle " was known as long ago as 1562. but it meant to roof a house with singles or tiles...

The word as applied to burnu kair originated in America and dates back to 186. Au meriem barber that year declared,1, warrant I can shingle hair better than anyone in the town,"

Murray's dietionary, where this burber is quoted: the proper definition is given in these words:"To cut hair pro- perly, so as to give the effect of over lapping shingles, by exposing the ends of hair all over the bead."

To bob means to cut short, as a saine horse's tail," according to the authority, while à further explanatory uote 'says that a "bob" is "a kaut or

of hair, such

it women do up their back hair. Hence, bob-peruke, a wig having bottom locks turned up into bohe, or short curls, as opposed to a full-bottomed wig."

.In Freneb there are two words to de- note bobbed hair, neither of which is a word with a true 'derivation.. Both are adapted for the purpose.

A babbed girl has hair "à la Ninon," which term originates from the "fashion set by Mlle Ninon, a French actress of the middle 18th century, who did her hair in this way." In small children bobbed hair is often called "A in Jenang 'd' Art, ant

There is no-special word in the French language to denote shingling,

In German the usual slang expression for bobbed hair is bubenkopf," which means boy's head."
