Why should not some of the other people, who also enjoy life, have
their movements recorded too? Like this:--
During Mr. William Sikes' visit to the Devonshire moors Mrs. Sikes
will remain in town.
* * *
Mr. and Mrs. James Harris have arrived in London from Southend.
* * *
Miss Levi, Miss Hirsch and Master Isaacson are among the guests at
Victoria Park, where some highly successful children's parties have
been given.
* * *
Epping is much in favour just now, and a large number of (public)
house-parties have been arranged. Among those entertaining this week
are Mr. Henry Higgins, Mr. Robert Atkins and Mr. John Smith.
* * *
Mr. Henry Hawkins, Mrs. Hawkins, Mr. Henry Hawkins, junior, and Miss
Hawkins left town on August 2nd for Hampstead Heath, for a day's
riding and shooting. A large bag of nuts was obtained. Mr. Hawkins has
not yet returned.

"LITTLE PROGRESS MADE.
KING STILL DEFIANT."
_Daily Paper._
Oh, dear! Another complication!
Who is the monarch? Which the nation?
We breathe again. The Leicester pro.
Kept up his end four hours or so.

"Another of the big round landlords of London is selling his
estate.
Sir Joseph Doughty Tichborne is selling his Doughty Estate of 14
acres."--_Evening Paper._
It recalls the famous case. "The Claimant" would certainly have made
"a big round landlord."

"Here then is a new development of serious local journalism. Just
an unpretentious but exceedingly well-printed village sheet,
breathing local atmosphere, emitting nothing that can possibly
interest the natives."
_Local Paper._
But we seem to have seen journals like this before.
