Mr. Punch has great pleasure in commending to his readers two volumes
of verse--_Rhymes of the Red Ensign_ (HODDER AND STOUGHTON), by Miss
C. FOX SMITH, and _The Poets in Picardy_ (MURRAY), by Major E. DE
STEIN--in which they will recognise many poems that have appeared in
his pages.

[Illustration: _Master_. "BUT, JENKINS, THE NAME OF THE COMPLAINT IS
NOT PEWMONIA. SURELY YOU'VE HEARD ME AGAIN AND AGAIN SAY 'PNEUMONIA'?"
_Man_. "WELL, SIR, I 'AVE; BUT I DIDN'T LIKE TO CORRECT YOU."]

HOW TO SOLVE THE FOOD PROBLEM.
"Superior Working Housekeeper and young Maid for Ladies' College.
No cooking; students sleep only."--_Church Times_.
* * * * *
COMMERCIAL CANDOUR.
"The interesting announcement is made that a regular air service
for perishable goods and passengers is to be established at
Edinburgh."--_Scotsman_.
* * * * *
"The London season has begun with its usual extensive programme of
religious services in various London churches."--_Scots Paper_.
The best comment that we have yet seen on this statement occurs in the
following (also from a Scots paper):--
"The Commander-in-Chief has borne testimony on behalf of the Grand
Fleet to the work that the Scittish Bishops have done for the Navy
during the War."
