O "Ministering Angels," ye

Who yet are mobile as the breeze,

Have you alone the right to be

"Uncertain, coy and hard to please?"

Our Ministerial Angels (GEORGE and kind)—

Aren't they allowed, poor males, to change their mind?

O.S.


THE SPOIL-SPORT.

Mr. Phillybag was demobilised. The Day had come. For months he had dreamed of the possibility—had imagined the joy and alacrity with which he would doff his cap, tunic and trousers, service dress, one each, and resume the decent broadcloth of a successful City solicitor. Strangely enough, however, once he was actually demobilised he found himself in no hurry to lose the garb which showed that he, Mr. Phillybag, had helped, you know, to put the kybosh on the KAISER. He was proud too of the corporal's stripes which he had gained in a very short Army career.
