In the back' garden of my house is a wooden lady, once the figurehead of that fast clipper the Julia Johnson, lifting her sightless eyes to the tiny toque of the fo's which sits precariously or did, suppose, with the pert original Julia-the 30th June, 1907. on her fringe. There is a suggestion of crino line where she breaks off short, and the is palated white, a vague and dreadful apparition at night. Once I suggested to my host, as he pottered about amongst his town shrubs, that the little ha, kept in place by a little, delicate face always upturned, should be taken off with a chisel; really, it looked so uncomfortable, eves on a wooden lady. The frail aid sailor regarded me with horror. He was once (1" judged) a smart and gallant young afficer brass bund; and the original of this effigy was his owner's haughty and usregarding daughter. He never married; and when he left these and his chip was broken up, retired to a life of pure devotion with, all' he would ever gel, Julia's wooden image.
