TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW

The Modern Girl Again! Sir Edmund Gosse says: ‘The young man of to-day, being ge1tle and gracious, makes up for the boisterousness of the girls.’ The following verses were evidently written by a "young nian of to-day’? :- When I fare forth with Phyllis Upon her pillion seat, In my poor heart a thrill is For all we pass or meet; In beret, belt, and breeches She scours the countryside, Nor heeds the poor thing which is Her partner for the ride. Upon her T.T. model She roars up every hill, Nou’d think her off her noddle To hear her Kiaxon shrill; And I, poor wretched creature, Bump, jolt, and toss and pitch, And pray the gods to teach her To keep out from the ditch. She takes me to the cricket, And argues with the crowd, I don’t know how to stick it When Phyllis thinks alond. It’s "Well played, sir!" ‘Oh, splen- " did!" "Go on, man, run!" she cries, And, ere the inning’s ended"Wil Unipire! where’s your eyes?’’ Sometimes a game of Soccer She’ll take me out to see, And some "fan" tries to shock her With forceful repartee ; But Phyllis leaves him dumb, too, Tho’ it often seems to me She’s really only come to Abuse the referce. And, strange, I love her dearly, Just why [ cannot tell; Her boisterous ways are clearly Beyond my power to quell. And yet I faney Cupid, Who pierced me with his dart, Will help me, tho’ I’m stupid, To rule her by her heart. Vamb Croquettes. Slice up cold lamb and put through th. mineer. ‘To two cups of mince add ealf a cup of breaderumbs, one tablespoon chopped parsley and thick white pauce to moisten, seasoning to taste. Mould the mixture into round nests, fill with left-over eookcd green peas, and cover over with tle meat. Dip in ege and breaderum!'ss and fry in deep boiling fat. Beetroot Cups, An appetising salad can be made with apples and celery, beetroot and lettuce. Cook some small beetrvots, scoop out centres. Vill with equal quantities of chopped apple, chopped celery, and chopped beetroot moistened with salad dressing. Serve on individual plates lined with crisp lettuce leaves.

Typist’s Genius." Two water-colour drawings executed by yet another untaught artist have made Miss Christine J. Hearn, a shorthand typist, somewhat of a celebrity among her colleagues at a branch of the Midland Bank, London; and have placed on record her preference for clinoline days. The drawings, entitled ‘‘Yesterday" and ‘"Io-day,"? proved one of the "big hits" at the ‘Midland Bank Art Club’s exhibition. "Yesterday" pictures a demure damsel in a pink crinoline and poke bonnet, looking out of a lattice window at a rese-garden. ‘To-day’? shows an ultra modern shingled flapper, wearing a green jumper suit, and smoking a cigarette in a loug holder. The lady in the crinoline is Miss Hearn’s ideal. She herself has never smoked a cigarette in her life. The modern lady is a portrait of her sister. A Fart He Knew. A Hampstead family was discussing a ‘play tea.’ in which every man and woman has to represent the title of a play. "Tn just going as myself,’? said the small son, "IIe who gets slapped."
