"THEY MAY SAY WHAT THEY LIKE AGIN THE COUNTY COUNCIL; _I_ SAYS THEY'RE JOLLY GOOD FELLERS."] * * * * * [Illustration: MISPLACED QUOTATIONS. _Young Jones_ (_who, five minutes before the announcement of Dinner, has been introduced to Miss Sprightly, and has been endeavouring to find a fitting remark wherewith to open the conversation._) "THIS--ER--I BELIEVE IS CALLED THE--ER--_'MAUVAIS QUART D'HEURE'!_"] * * * * * "THE WANDERING MINSTREL." (_Modern Kensington Version._) [The London County Council has declined to co-operate with the Kensington Vestry in a representation to the Home Secretary for more efficient control over itinerant musicians, street-cries, and similar nuisances, on the ground that though the Council has power to make bye-laws for this object, there are no means of enforcing them.] SCENE--_Highly respectable Terrace in Kensington. The exterior of_ MR. TAMBOUR'S _house. Enter_ JEM BAGGS (R.H.) _playing the clarinet badly._
