SUMMARY:

I'm fact, all sports, professions etc. are represented, & I, who spend so much of my time at the Zoo, crave to have you, the head Curator of such a splendid group, of it - as representative of the animals I love so much.
Please will you write your name on the enclosed piece of paper for me? I shall be so grateful.
The Cloth is on pure white Linen with handsome border of drawn thread work all round - the autographs in scarlet letterings in the centre. It has been all over the world nearly for signatures, but some names I have to ask for over myself. Otherwise the Cloth could not be filled up, or worked by me in time for December this year. It is, of course, going to be sold - for the same 'Cause'. The B. & Bleach Linen Co. have me the linen to make the new one of - & it is to be exhibited in several of their windows as soon as ever it is finished.
Trusting you will grant me this favour.

Yours faithfully,
(Mrs) R. Barrington-Hertz.

This J. B. Procter.

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.
