Come, Nora, Nance and Nellie,
Let us study BOTTICELLI
When we feel the gnawing craving to be smart;
If we want to be _de rigueur_
We must educate the figure
To show the downward trend of "plastic art."
The outline should be slack,
Slippy-sloppy, front and back,
Till bodice, skirt and tunic--every stitch--
Seems to call for the support
Of the handy-man's resort--
That naval gesture termed the "double hitch."
The shoulders must be drooping.
The knees a trifle stooping,
And the widest waist, remember, takes the prize;
When motoring or shopping
The _coatee_ must be flopping
Through a belt that's sagging downward to the thighs.
But the evening toilette scheme
Shows the opposite extreme,
And, when for dance or dinner you're equipped,
A clinging "mermaid's tail"
The nether limbs must veil,
While the corsage is the only part that's slipped.

"At the close of the match, Mr. Burnett, Kenmay, announced the result
and called for cheers for the winners. Mr. J. Fulton, President
English Province R.C.C.C., responded."--_Field._
We are sorry that Mr. FULTON was the only one. After his opening
"Hip--hip--hip" even the most timid or indifferent should have joined in.

"Tickets purchased before the date will admit holders at 2 p.m. to
view the machine used when 'looping the loop,' and the passenger
carrying machine."
_Advt. in "The Varsity."_
At the risk of embarrassing this anonymous Samson we shall go early and
view him.

"Councillor Johnson said the Bye Laws wore not in a satisfactory
state, and suggested that Councillor Bayman be added to the number."
_Mossel Bay Advertiser._
Henceforward the penalty for breaking Councillor BAYMAN is forty shillings.
