IN announcing their production as "One of those musical things," the
authors of the new Comedy revue have given a lead which it is hoped may
end in the establishment of happier relations between the advertiser and
the consumer. For a long time signs have not been absent that the star
of the mere hustler is set, and that the public are no longer to be
cowed into obedience by the Prussianism of Blank, who commands, "Buy my
soap and step lively about it. You'd better!"

clock.

Another Candid Objector.
"The doctor stated he might have to go himself, but the position
just now was that he was not allowed to go until he could find
someone to undertake his work. Personally, he would far sooner join
the colours than keep on with his present work, which was 'simply
killing.'"--_Birmingham Daily Post._

"A graduate in Divinity in these days ought to have sufficient
acquaintance with Hebrew to be able at any rate to hold the word
with one hand while he looks it out in the lexicon with the
other."--_Guardian._
The B.A., like the A.B., has to be a handy man nowadays.
