There are, usually, three stages on the road to revolution. The first is, misgovernment; the second, disorder; the third, famine. Russia has got as far as the third. It is a bad omen when the prices of things begin to be quoted. And to-day "Meat is two shillings a pound"; Milk is sixpence a glass." Soon some humorist of the Revolution will be putting up the notice at his shopwindow: " Archdukes are Cheap To-day." Advocates of thrift seem to have been much struck by the action of the bride who, during her recent marriage - service, knelt on a cushion composed of letters she had received from the bridegroom. Of course, some people will maintain that this is not the right way to treat billets-doux, but what do they recommend instead? In Early Victorian times, the maiden used to wear the young man's letters next her heart, and it was a pretty notion. But then those were the days of short engagements. There was no penny postage. will begin to want something else. Logically, the next proceeding will be the establishment of opticians' premises in connection with the daily paper. Readers, whose eyesight has been injured by these sixty thousand books per annum, should be entitled to go there and get their eyes tested for the Times pince-nez, the Standard lorgnette, or the Dai y Mail magnifying - glass After the eyes, the brain, and a bright piece of journalistic enterprise will be begun by the paper which first offers to its readers fagged out by their efforts the privilege of a cubicle in a private asylum. The Post Office is always thoughtful, and the arrangement it has made by which Christmas letters can be sent off now to wait at the Manchester Post Office until the happy day comes, is only one example of many thoughtful things it does. Probably, however, there will be some grumblers who will say they would rather send off their Christmas letters at Christmas than at Michaelmas. They will urge that items of information concerning their health at Christmas would reach their friends with greater accuracy if written about that time, as well as posted then. They will point out that they do not care to write now to people with whom they may have quarrelled in the next two months. Certainly, it might mar the peace of a lady's Christmas Day if she knew that a card, posted in October, and bearing the lines: May love and friendship greet you now Beneath the cheerful holly-bough. The all-absorbing topic "And what do you think of the New Zealanders, Mrs. Hobbs?" Frocks were constructed differently. Nowadays, it would be impossible to wear in that romantic locality all the letters a young manwriting, say, once a day (a modest computation, I am told)-sends in the course of a five years' engagement. It would never do at all. But the cushion offers a simple substitute. A cushion is always handy, and a young man, who is in most cases conscious that letter-writing is not his forte, will have the satisfaction of knowing that he is contributing to the stuffing of this very useful article. I am wondering what will be the next move of the newspaper proprietor. Libraries are all very well, but when, for the modest outlay of a few shillings, a man has read six newspapers a day and sixty thousand books a year (the exact figures I forget), he With love from MOUSIEwere going to be delivered to another lady, who in November called her a nasty cat, and with whom she has not since been on speaking terms. But that cannot be helped. What the Post Office no doubt feel is, that it is better for letters written at Michaelmas to reach their destination at Christmas than for letters written at Christmas to reach their destination at Midsummer. |
