NOT WHAT IT WAS
It is to be feared that the once famous "Silly Season" is no longer ■what it was. The end of September more or less sees the close of that period, but there has been littlo doing in the way of seasonable portents (says the Manchester '' Guardian Weekly"). There have been no Giant Gooseberries: or Monster Marrows— perhaps the drought is responsible for their-failure. The return of the oyster has been, duly celebrated, but there is something a little half-hearted about a welcome which has to bear'in mind the fact that each "native "is nowadays more or less worth its own weight in silver. Even the supply of Channel swimmers seems to have dropped off: this year. And sea serpents arc never mentioned.
