FROM OUR PARISIAN CORRESPONDENT I have not the pen of your grandmother, Nor yet the hat of your friend ; No idea where the gardener is, either; Heav ' n knows when this business will end. But in spite of all this, I endeavour To speak as much French as I can, And I always reply to whatever I ' m asked : Oui, nous n ' avons pas de bananes. M. A. E. SEMI-DETACHED Adamson became attached To sleeping in the Games Room, And there repaired ' most every day With forty winks the aim ; some Seccotine unnoticed lay Upon the floor there one fine day — Not only metaphorical his Attachment to the Games Room.

An unaccompanied quartette gave pleasure for the rea- son of the parts being sung in tune, which is no easy matter where the parts are moving slowly. Bishop sang a Metropolitan Boat Song with a clue ap- preciation of the rhythm which gave the character to the song. He took his notes simply and without strain. Other numbers on the programme were performed with equal merit ; in each case the leads indicated by Miss Lons- dale were taken up with a quickness and precision which spoke of the thoroughness of their studies. The careful and musical accompanying of several items by Bishop were also deserving of great praise. Mrs. Baiss very kindly played several pieces for us dur- ing the afternoon, while Commander Kingscote must have derived a good deal of satisfaction from the excellent display of his P. T. Team.
