Miss Judkin. "Tell your mother I'm very sorry, but the only brandy I've got is very old."

THE FAIR.

Look up, my child, the sirens whoop

Shrill invitations to the Fair,

The yellow swing-boats soar and swoop,

The Gavioli organs blare;

Bull-throated show-men, bracken-brown,

Compete to shout each other down.
