A Heady Retort.

The House of Commons was once debating the Civil List—the appropriations for the King and Royal Family—when Lord Evelyn Stuart, who was an officer of the Guards as well as a member of the House, came in, wearing a long moustache. At that time moustaches were worn only by soldiers, and very seldom even by them. “My lord,” said one of the Ministers to Lord Evelyn, “ now that the war is over, don’t you think you had better put your moustache on the peace establishment ? ” “I don’t know whether I shall do that,” said Lord Evelyn, “ But meanwhile I would advise you to put your tongue on the Civil List.”
