Can young ladies who now lace so tightly be considered staid ? A provincial paper, criticising a concert, says of one gentleman who attempted to sing : — " Absence of voice and unacquaintance with music are bad enough ; but when to these is added a forgetf ulness of words, the thing becomes almost unbearable." What a lively performance it must have been ! Frenchman : " Madame, you charge ver mooch too price for zat room." Landlady : " Oh, you know, we at tbe watering-places must make hay while the sun shines." Frenchman (indignautly) : " Madame, you shalt never make ze hay of me. You must not zink because all flesh is grass zat you can make hay of me."
