e Master of Bushey has dealt with the Hair! As might be
expected from a Hair-comber with a brush in his hand. Will be remembered
as "_Burke and Hair_."

No. 411. _Mrs. Arthur Sassoon._ Charming. Sweet simplicity.

You'll say this _as soon_ as you see it. HUBERT HERKOMER, A(ngcore).

[Illustration: No. 361. Scene at Dollis Hill.]

No. 463. _Sir Oscar Clayton, C.M.E._ Bravo Mr. F. GOODALL, R.A. Good
entirely. Artist was thinking of adapting refrain of popular comic song,
"_Ask a P'liceman_," and writing under portrait legend--

If you want to know who's this,--
"OSCAR CLAYTON."

But it was unnecessary, as the portrait speaks for itself.

No. 473. _D-T-erioration;_ or, Sir EDWIN ARNOLD, K.C.S.I., commencing as
a book-maker, and laying "two to one bar one." "ARNOLD'S first exercise"
in this character is depicted by JAMES ARCHER.

No. 600. _Tum-Tum The Melancholy_, By JOSEPH MORDECAI. Is HAMAN hung
too?

No. 703. "_Nobody looking, Mother, You can prig something out of the
Money-box._" But the vigilant Verger has his eye on them. Such is the
story told by BLANDFORD FLETCHER.

No. 744. Coming home late in the Olden Time. By RALPH HEDLEY. No
latch-key. Rousing the neighbourhood with pantomime door-knocker.
Situation graphically depicted.

No. 759. _By the Linn Pool._ By NOBLE. Charming. Must be of course;
_Noblesse oblige_.

[Illustration: No. 487. Primrose Dames.]

No. 794. "_Out shooting._" Very much out, shooting. Nothing to CROWE
about.

No. 886. _A Smile._ Delightful. This Miss is as good as her smile. JAN
VAN BEERS.

No. 1028. "_Please to remember the Ninth of November._" Lord Mayor's
Procession stopped by photographer. "Now, then--wait--where you
are--when I say three!" And as they were taken, so they are cleverly
represented by WILLIAM LOGSDAIL.

[Illustration: No. 652. Mrs. Jack-in-the-Green. Tree-mendous!]

ESSENCE OF PARLIAMENT.

EXTRACTED FROM THE DIARY OF TOBY, M.P.

_House of Commons, Monday, April 28._--Irish Land Purchase Bill again.
CHAMBERLAIN lifts debate out of somewhat tedious trough into which it
had fallen. Remarkable speech; bold in conception; adroit in
arrangement; forcible in argument; lucid in exposition. Spoke for over
an hour, and though his discourse, full of intricate points, the
marshalling of which was frequently interrupted by angry or scornful
