CHARIVARIA.

We gather from a statement of the
FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS that
there is no intention of removing the
barricades from Downing Street at pre-
sent. But surely he must know that
Mr. LLOYD GEORGE escaped from No. 10
many months ago.

Peace has been signed at Lausanne,
and Surrey has at last defeated Kent
at Blackheath. Somebody might now
tell us what else there is to do.

A lady has been appointed Curator
of the Reptile House at the
Zoo. In feminist circles
this is regarded as marking
a splendid advance since
the days of Eve.
