BABY OF PUNCH STAFF
It will surprise many of his readers to learn that Mr A. P. Herbert has only just ceased to be the baby of the Punch staff. For the last 12 years that most serious of jesters has been its junior member. Now he will have precedence of two others at the famous Wednesday lunches. These are the black-and-white artist Mr Charles Grave, creator of philosophic sailors, and Mr H. F. Ellis, who, among other things, is Punch’s caustically humoroils film critic. As members of the staff these now join the Punch table. Cabinets have ceased to dine. Punch maintains the tradition —only altered to suit a lunching age.
