Facts for Females
HE information to be won from the "For My Lady: Information Corner" session at present running from 1YA is of an ornamental rather than a useful ‘nature. Some remarks about a man called Snow, an early chronicler of London, set the ball rolling the other day; and some--how or other’ Sir Walter Raleigh soon came into the conversation with mention of a little trouble he got into over
an acrostic he wrote to one Bess Throgmorton, maid-in-waiting of Queen Elizabeth. It fell into the good Queen’s hands, and she took it hard when she found it was not for her. Somebody then sang a song from Merrie England, and within a few seconds we were hearing about fleas and Louis XVI. There was a good opening here for the "Song of the Flea" which was duly sung, thence . to golf and the original, meaning of the term "getting into a scrape," with Clapham and, Dwyer to bring the session to a conclusion. Never, outside my dreams, have I known a quarter-hour packed so gloriously with incdénsequential images.
