BEAUTIFYING.
Sir*—The other day I happened to drop! into Mr Pip Beer, the dentist’s, for my usual cup of afternoon tea, which is always kept in readiness for all the stray dogs of the town, and as I passed the surgery where a little gill was reluctantly parting with one of her molars, I heard Pip remark: “Now if you squawk you’ll not be allowed to join the Beautifying Associtation.” Now thik homely little incident has given me a suggestion. Why not allow the young people to join at, say* Is instead of the 5s for grown-upk. The young people are the coming citizens, and if they could join for a nominal fee I feel sure you would get quite a large membership, and this would give them an incentive to compete in the garden coinpetitions and also to protect the trees that are planted.—l am, etc., MOKEPOKE.
