SOME PLEASANT TATTLE.

"Some men," says a writer in a borne journal, in disclosing 'tricks' of the I furnishing trade, 'can take new furniture and make it look as if it was made a century ago.' But there Is nothing remarkable in this. An intelligent * child . can do the same. "I believe," says Mr. William Poel, "that in 300 years Mr. Bernard Shaw's writings will still interest people." Mr. Shaw himself, however regards Mr. Poel's estimate as an absurdly moderate one. "All a woman asks is to be loved," Bays a poet. Then all those tales about her wanting new frocks, motorcars, and unlimited jewellery « v are a vile slander, "Take away woman," says an ardent "votes-f or-women" eupporter in; one of the dailies, "and what would follow ?" Why, man, of course. An Irish M.P. is well remembered for his first and only oratorical effort in the House. On rising, he declared with due solemnity. "Mr. Speaker, I cannot sit still here and keep silent without rising and saying a few words." n 'l know now," sorrowfully remarked the young man who had been sued for breach of promise, "why they eall it eoorting." All that man wantß here below is a little more then he's got. Is the nose placed in the middle of the faee because it is the scentrepiece. The theatrical manager is known by the company he keeps. A contemporary is worrying its readers with the question, *What becomes of aged domestic servants ?" One thing is certain, however, they can't all become musical-comedy actresses. Trouble is about the only thing m this world that can be picked up for nothing.—' 'Tatler.''
