MRS. M.-J. I--I wasn't giggling, Monarch dear, only----

_The Sequel._

"The judges appointed by the spirited proprietors of _All Sorts_ to

decide the 'Model Husband Contest'--which was established on lines

similar to one recently inaugurated by one of our New York

contemporaries--have now issued their award. Two competitors have sent

in certificates which have been found equally deserving of the prize;

viz., Mrs. Cornelia Galahad-Green, Graemair Villa, Peckham, and Mrs.

Griselda Monarch-Jones, Aspen Lodge, Lordship Lane. The sum of twenty

pounds will consequently be divided between these two ladies, to whom,

with their respective spouses, we beg to tender our cordial

felicitations."--(_Extract from Daily Paper, some six months hence._)
