SUSAN SIMPSON.
A correspondent sends in the following which is cut from a "Graphic" of 1907. In view of our recent alliterative sentence competition, this makes interesting reading. Unfortunately our correspondent could not recollect lines three and four of verse four. Sudden swallows swiftly skimming Sunset's slowly spreading shade, Silvery songsters sweetly singing Summer's soothing serenade. Susan Simpson strolled sedately, Stifling sobs, suppressing sighs, Seeing Stephen Slocum stately, She stopped, showing some surprise. "Stay," said Stephen, "sweetest sigher, Say, shall Stephen spouseless stay?" Susan, seeming somewhat shyer, Showed submissiveness straightway. Summer season slowly saunters, Susan Simpson, Slocum she, Six September Susan sweltered, Six sharp seasons snows supplied, Susan's sofa snugly sheltered Six small Slocuins side by side.
