A vitilo note is struck by "Rock- bound Bill, writing from "one- when in the Kinta Valley," who unburdens his soul as follows:

I thought it was only effeminates who had forgolten how to be chivalrous. Maybe I'm right. "Three Bachelors' should have signed themselves "Three Cads'-- It suits them just right.

"If 'Daring Daley is short of someone to trample her, corns on Wednesdays, let fier send an.S. 0. 8. to Rockbound Bill."

Three bachelors have evidently had a twinge of conscience; for they issue a public invitation to "Daring Daisy" and "Fed-up Florrie" to dine at their mess, accompanied by their husbands.
