➡KIPLING

The Antediluvinu and Extraordinary Order ‚of the Oos-a new and staggering Society craze held a very special meeting in a private room of the Royal Palace Hotel, Kenslegton, yester day (26th Nov.) aftomacon. Admission was seven and sixpence par head, including tea and bread and butter, jam, and Mysticism. Several titled ladies, and at least one countess, were present; and to see that all was fair and proper a real clergyman of the Church of England was Accommodated with a seat on a gilt-edged chair in a far corner of the room. The rever end gentleman looked rather scared—but it' was all right in the end; and never a' blush mantled his pink cheeks. From time to time, however, he wiped his spectacles and gasped!

The special attraction which called togerber this tremendously fashionable assembly of the Cos was the first of a series of lectures by His Magnificence, Iba Chatir, Assyrian Fakir and High Adept," who was announced: by the Lady Secretary as the newest Mystic with a Mission.

And "We are all going On!" she cried,
