SIR,

We should be glad to know if anything can be done to stop the
public nuisance in the shape of the amalgamation of two members of
the party, who are obviously descended from some long ago Christy
Minstrels. We believe that, taken separately, one at a time, at
long intervals, the aforesaid members can be tolerated for a few
minutes (personally, we find them nauseating to a degree, under the
most favourable circumstances), but together, when they attempt to
be bright and amusing, and fancy they have a sense of humour and
intelligent wit, they are absolutely impossible. They might have
been useful (say in 1500) as the final torture decreed by the
Inquisition, but in this year of grace of 1910, they are
unwarrantable, and we shall be grateful if immediate steps can be
taken for their separation, if not for their entire suppression. We
are, Dear Sir, still suffering from violent headaches, caused by
being shut up in the same coach for three hours with these
imbeciles.

Yours truly,

T.D. and M.L.

HARD CASE No. 1.

The prize of five cents has been awarded to a correspondent O.G. (who is
requested to forward his real name and address as soon as possible) for
the best solution to the Hard Case we published yesterday. He says that
in those circumstances the lady should undoubtedly allow herself to be
fed, and should do all in her power by opening her mouth widely, and
turning her head slightly in the direction of the gentleman on her
right, to assist him in his self-imposed task, and thus to avoid giving
him the impression that he had committed an unusual social solecism in
commencing to feed her.

Numerous correspondents have sent in solutions, but we consider the
above the best. Several answers have also been sent to the second part
of the question, and all agree that the gentleman on the left had no
shadow of excuse for causing the lady's nose to rest in the jelly. Such
a proceeding is totally without precedent in the highest circles.
