A Colourable Correction.
"Bored to blues by a Blue-Book"? I fear you are not
Up to date in your choice of a tint, my dear fellow.
The type of sheer boredom, and dulness, and rot,
Is not now the Blue of old days, but the Yellow.
As Blue-Stockings now half the sex might be mustered,
The New Woman doubtless wears hose hued like custard.
Next best thing to the Persian Locomotive Carpet of Eastern Fable.—The "Travelling Rug" of Western fact.
