THE ROMANCE OF FITZROY.
To the Editor. Sir, —The poet "Boz," in his (lowing stanzas on the past and his glowing vision of the tramear future for the Fitzroy suburb, published in the issue of the News of Monday last, seems to have adopted for the headlines of his verses some .parody of the words of the old song, '"I remember, I remember, when my little lovers came.'' Whether or not the sequel of the poem is as instinct with the romance that the reminiscence of those lines might conjure up, might pardonably bi ar.otnei qnestim. t'hougn I can quite sympathise with the sigh of the author of the "Sign of the Lyre" in looking forward for the quiet and retired j times before the .advent of the crowded and rushing tram, and before the storeyed and gaudy palcees eclipse the less pretentious trade repositories, and when the heart of Fitzroy might be as preferable a term as the more commonplace "centre" or even possibly the. "heart of Midlothian." —I am, etc., C.W.W.
