_Ne sutor_--Lord GRIMTHORPE could tell you the rest, Lord GRIMTHORPE could write you a letter about it, Lord GRIMTHORPE, decidedly wisest and best Of wise and good teachers, no person could doubt it; Since, be what it may, he will write to the _Times_, Church, chancery, chapels, chants, chamfers or chimes. _Ne sutor_--the limit should never be past But where is the limit? He tackles each squabbler. We see each new letter, but never the last; All things need repair, and Lord G. is the cobbler. Cathedrals or canticles--still to the _Times_ He writes, some might say, neither reasons nor rhymes. * * * * * MILITARY WORD OF COMMAND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE "FALLEN IN LOVE."--Fall out! * * * * * [Illustration: SUPPLY AND DEMAND. _Bill._ "WHAT _ARE_ THESE CHAPS, JIM?" _Jim._ "WHY, THEY'RE ALL HEARLS AND MARKESSES, THEY TELL ME, AS IS DOWN ON THEIR LUCK!" _Bill._ "WELL, THEN, WOT'S THE GOOD OF THEIR MAKIN' NEW PEERS, WHEN ALL THESE POOR NOBLEMEN ARE OUT OF A JOB?"] * * * * * SILLY SEASONING. [Illustration] The era of newspaper controversy has once more begun, and the wail of the letter-writer is again heard in the land. The guileless reader may possibly imagine that the letters he reads so readily are so many brands plucked from the burning--in other words, so many contributions snatched out of the Waste-Paper Basket. But _Mr. Punch_ knows better; the letters are written where the controversy begins and ends--in the Newspaper Office. Why should 85, Fleet Street lag behind its neighbours in journalistic controversy? If the largest circulations have their leader-writers, has not _Mr. Punch_ his "young men"? The following letters, therefore, it is frankly admitted, were written in Fleet Street. Please notice the careless grace with which "Peckham Rye" and the "Borough Road" are thrown in to give an air of "verisimilitude to a bald and unconvincing narrative" as POOH BAH said. The subject of the correspondence gave some small amount of trouble. "Is Sleeping healthy?" was one suggestion; "Ought Husbands to kiss their Wives?" another. Eventually "The Ethics of the Honeymoon" won by a narrow majority, after a close division. Of course it need hardly be said that the subject ought to be matrimonial. It's expected of you. The public look for it. They shall get it. Here are some of the letters:-- THE ETHICS OF THE HONEYMOON.
