"A LADY would like to let her beautifully furnished HOUSE or
part, or three or four paying guests; from L2 10s. each."
_Bournemouth Daily Echo._

"Notice.--Found, a Broadwood Piano. Apply, Barrack Warden,

_Letter in "The Times."_

We suppose the manual kick, as described above, is the non-party hack.

history of the Corps to which I have the honour to belong, and this
will give you some cause for mirth. Its members are of all sorts, ages
and origins, and they have had between them some odd experiences since
that first day when, parading hastily in Kensington Gardens, they
wished they hadn't been quite so glib, in their anxiety to get to war,
about professing full knowledge of the ways and wiles of the motor
bicycle. One at least of them paid the price of inexactitude then and
there; he still shudders to think how, put to the test, he
unintentionally left the Park for a no less fashionable but much more
crowded thoroughfare, to arrive eventually, in the prone position, in
a byway of Piccadilly, where small fragments of the machine may sti
