P.R.A.'s "_Perseus and Andromeda_." Allegory, _Andromeda_, Ireland.
_The Monster_, "Parnellism and Crime;" and _Perseus_, BALFOUR.
Marvellous Monster! DRURIOLANUS should at once order a dozen of
'em, hot and strong, for next Christmas Pantomime. Poor Miss ANNE
DROMEDA,--"a dainty morsel _a croquer_," quoth the Monster.
No. 148. No possible doubt whatever about this being A. BERTIE;
FREEMAN-MITFORD, C.B., painted by the President of the Painters, who
has hit him off to the life. B.M. is taken at the moment when, as a
spectator of the Perseus and Andromeda _ballet d'action_, he remembers

No. 232. By the P.R.A. "What's that?" said one well-educated clerical
visitor to his matronly wife. She read it out, pronouncing it thusly,
"_Return of Percy Fone_." "What!" exclaimed the Clergyman. Then,
taking the Catalogue into his own hands, he read "_Return of
Persephone_." "It's pronounced," he informed his help-mate,
"Per-s[)e]ph-[)o]-n[)e]." "Is it?" she returned, in a tone expressive
of unmitigated incredulity. "Then," she asked suddenly, as a
brilliant idea struck her, "why isn't 'telephone' pronounced
'tel-[)e]ph-[)o]-n[)e]'?" And turning her back on him, would not hear
another word on the subject.
No. 283. _Not Crossley, but Kindly_. CLAUDE CALTHROP.
No. 333. _Professor Huxley_. By Hon. JOHN COLLIER. When it isn't the

a picture of Master HUGH BURDETT MONEY
