No. 558. Lady going out for a row. Odd sort of boat: Wherry Funny. E. BLAIR LEIGHTON. No. 630. "_Iona_." By COLIN HUNTER, A. Buy it, and in _Iona_ you'll own a good picture. No. 664. "_La Cigale_." A sporting subject suggestive of "Got nothing on." It is not a portrait of _La Cigale_ at the Lyric. H. RAE. No. 714. Wind Lads and Wind-Lasses. FRANK DICKSEE, A. No. 743. "If I had a donkey what wouldn't go.". ALFRED W. STRUTT. No. 1006. A Little Duck. WILLIAM STRUTT. (Must be seen for title to be appreciated.) No. 1106. Hares Apparent. WILLIAM FOSTER. No. 1108. _Napoleon leaving the room where Josephine is fainting on the floor._ Short title, "Going Nap." LASLETT J. POTT. * * * * * THE ABC OF IBSENITY.

M is the Master, speak soft as you name him, N stands for Norway, so eager to claim him. O his Opponents, who speak out their mind, P stands for _Punch_, where his dramas you'll find. Q is the Question, should _Rosmer_ have wed her? R is _Rebecca_, who took such a header. S is the _Speaker_, which gets quite excited, T is the Temper, it shows uninvited. U the Unquestioning Faith of the some, V is the Vaudeville, where they all come. W stands for the Worshipping Few, X their Xtreme disproportionate view. Y ends Ibsenity, and, as everyone knows, Z brings an alphabet rhyme to a close. * * * * * OUR BOOKING-OFFICE. _The Diary of a Pilgrimage_ occupies 175 pages of one of ARROWSMITH's three-and-sixpenny books, and no doubt the admirers of its author, Mr. JEROME K.
