"Joan is pretty, and Stewart Austen ... asks her to marry
him. Joan refuses indignantly on the ground that his views
and conduct are opposed to those which as a member of a
Suffrage Society she is pledged to eradicate."--_The
Saturday Westminster_.
Why the lady should resent her lover's endorsement of her own opinions
is just one of those things that no fellah (unless he is a reviewer)
can understand.

"Besides being Paul Von Hindenburg's second self, Ludendorff
is the transportation expert of the Central Powers. He was
ordered to go to the industrial cities along the Rhine and
the Rhone rivers."--_Evening Paper_.
It is a pity that the second part of this enterprise had for
geographical reasons to be abandoned, for we understand that Lyons
would have given him a particularly warm reception.

"The Canadian Club gave a luncheon to-day in honour of the
Canadian Highlanders, who have been a picturesque feature
of the British recruiting week in New York....
"An exciting incident occurred during the luncheon, when two
German waiters were ejected from the room. The Highlanders
now go to Chicago to make a similar demonstration."--_Morning
Paper_.
As nothing more has been heard of the matter, it is supposed that the
Germans in Chicago prudently refused to wait for them.
