[To THE EDITOR OE THE " SPECTATOR.") SIR.—IE is not

for me to criticize the conduct of a Fellow of Exeter, old or young; but in bare justice to the young lady mentioned in the Limerick of which two lines are quoted by Mr. L. J. Roberta in the Spectator of the 14th inst., may I suggest that the lines should, probably, run as follows?—

"There was an old fellow of Exeter Who kissed a young lady and vexed her. She at once slapped his face, When he made a grimace And looked, as he felt, quite perplexed at her."
