Your banquet to refuse;
But if you fear not _mal de mer_,
Pack up your _malle de mer, mon cher_,
And join us in a cruise.

_From My Lor' Maire to Admiral Gervais._

_Mon cher_ GERVAIS,
Can't say "_Je vais_,"
Except "_Je vais
L'autre cote._"
GERVAIS, _tu vas,--
Moi--je ne vais pas._

HYJINKS AND HYGIENE.

Hygiene and Demography! Never before
With such wonderful names has a Conference met,
With statistics by thousands and papers galore
As to what Demos wants, as to what he's to get.
It's not always perfectly clear what they mean.
Yet, perhaps an outsider is right when he thinks
Though no doubt they would die for beloved Hygiene,
As a matter of fact they indulge in High Jinks.
