THIS is not a dissertation on mildew, phylloxera, and other blights of the vine which go to make a mauvaise année, as the wine-growers say in my country.

... Fox populi J\ ?dble Written and Illustrated by R. S. Sherriffs. THE first time Reynard V. Fox, M.P., was offered an intro duction to Lord Lion he was overcome with shyness and fainted on the carpet. The second time he wasn't so shy, but then he wasn't noticed either.

... vOGUES^ AND VANITIES; j K feRMENy (ocKAymJ&t Cutting Them Down. Though women have unanimously decided not to down stockings, it's not to be supposed that they are ashamed of what stockings are supposed-- quite incorrectly in an age of artificial silk-- to hide.
