IV.—Petticoat Lane.
Up the Lane and down the Lane and all round about
The Petticoats on washing-day are all hanging out;
Some are made of linsey-woolsey, some are made of silk,
Some of them are green as grass and some are white as milk;
Frilled and flounced and quilted ones in Petticoat Lane,
Some are worked in coloured nosegays, some of them are plain,
Some are striped with red and blue as gaudy as can be,
And one is sprigged with lavender, and that's the one for me.
"Sir A. Mond said that the married men's grievance was that they might be called up before the tooth-combing process of which the right hon. gentleman had spoken had been carried out."—The Times.

"Mr. Lloyd George, replying to Mr. Cowan, said the total salary received by Lloyd Kitchener was £6,250."

This is the first we have heard of this highly-remunerated official. We hope it is not a case of nepotism.
