[Illustration: FELINE AMENITIES. _Female Friend_ (_to fair Author of "The Woman who Durstn't"_). "NOW YOU'VE HAD SUCH A SUCCESS, I SUPPOSE YOUR PUBLISHERS WILL TAKE ANY RUBBISH YOU CHOOSE TO WRITE!"] * * * * * MICHAELMAS TERM AT CAMBRIDGE. According to orders issued September 29, Feast of St. Goose, the Vice-Chancellor has given notice that during Michaelmas Term there will be Congregations, when will be performed by the A. C. C. C. (Amateur Cambridge Concert Club) the well-known Choral, "_Goosey Goosey Gander_." (Music by GOOSENS.) The Volunteers will practice the Goose Step from two to four every afternoon till further orders. After exams, the ceremony of "Plucking" will take place in public. Lectures on "_How to get your Goose Cooked_," with receipts for _Making the sauce for the gander_, by M. C. A. (Master of Culinary Art). Lecture on the right explanation of the treatise "_De Goose-tibus_." [N.B.--_The undergraduate who comes out first in examination on this subject will be entitled to wear a feather in his cap._] Special Greek Kalendary Lecture on the history of "_Xerxes and the Gandaræ_." The subject of the Lecture on Horticulture will be "_The Growth of the Great Gooseberry, and its Gradual Extinction_." _Commercial History._ Subject: "_On Banking, and the Rise of the House of Gosling_." Lectures on the Stage by Lord ACTON, with inquiry concerning the Hisstrionic occasion when "The Goose" was first heard in a theatre. His Lordship has been specially engaged by the A. D. C. to bring out a new edition of Plays, under the heading of "_The Acton Drama_." * * * * * COURT ON AGAIN.--Mr. GODFREY'S _Vanity Fair_ (a misleading title; and the story is more nearly related to _Pendennis_ than to _Vanity Fair_) is still "on" at the Court Theatre. Let Play-Inspector advise those who have not seen Mr. ARTHUR CECIL as the imperturbable _Lord Nugent_, and who have yet to witness the excellent acting of Mr. SUGDEN, wonderfully made up as _The Duke of Berkshire_, who have still to see Mr. WILLIAM WYES as _Brabazon Tegg_, and Mrs. JOHN WOOD as the eccentric _Mrs. Brabazon Tegg_ (once a music-hall artiste), to go to the Court Theatre, and enjoy a thoroughly good all-round performance. * * * * * NOTE AT THE RECENT MEDICAL SESSION.--Among the names of the distinguished lecturers during last week's Medical Session, occurred the remarkable one of "Dr. GEORGE DE ATH." It is a pleasant way of putting it. These two syllables cannot say of themselves, "_In Death we are not divided_." * * * * * TO A FRIEND OF MINE. Ah, cherubic little curate, in your surplice spick and span, Who has struck that happy medium 'twixt an angel and a man, Would it bore you much to tell me how you managed to attain To that turret of perfection which in time I hope to gain?
