SHAKESPEARE'S ENGLAND

Sta,—Might I add a few more apposite Shakespearean observations to the list sent in last week?

On the Underground at rush hours: "Be, then, desired, A little to disquantity your train."

On a dipsomaniac: "I have yet Room for six scotches more."

On a new motor-car: "Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing."

On Don Bradman: "A century send forth."

On a hair-cut: "This parting was well made."

On the Light Programme: " They have a plentiful lack of wit."

On the " Aveilable Later" cards at "Britain. Can Make It": " How long a time, lies in one little word)" On a London fog: • ".This night, methinks,. is but the daylight sick."

On Montgomery's coat: "This will last out a night in Russia."

On a glamour girl: "God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.

How much more elder art thou than thy looks."

On Mr. Strachey's food inspectors: "He arrests him on it And follows close the rigour of the statute To make him an example."

On Quest;on Time in the House of Commons: "Here will be an old abusing of God's patience and the King's English."

On the Conservative Party: "True it is that we have seen better days, Eating the bitter bread of banishment."

On the Labour Government: "Oft expectation fails, and most oft there Where most it promises."

—Yours, &C., MICHAEL P. CHILDS. 102 Seafield Road, South bourne, Bournemouth.

Su,—May I make an addition?

On general despair: "This was the most unkindest cut of all."

I allude to a certain day recently, when, in an all-electricity flat, we were suddenly left without heat, light and radio service.—Yours 5 Clifton Court, N.W. 8.

E. M. KENNEDY.
