Oh, who on earth invented washing day? for I don't like washing, I can’t stand washing, And you wouldn't like it, I'll be bound, If, while your clothes were drying, Your nurse left you lying With not a rag upon you on the ground. “And I really feel quite faint, For I've nearly lost my paint With the rubbing and scrubbing that I've had. I believe I've got the cramp, And my sawdust’'s awful damp, And I'm feeling most uncomfortably bad. ‘““Then tonight they'll have a party And expect me to look hearty While they strum the old plang, blithe and gay; : But if this is why we get So miserably wet ¥'d rather far go dirty all the day, For I don't like washing, I can’t stand washing, And you wouldn't like it, I'll be bound, If, while your clothes were drying, Your nurse left you lying With not a rag upon you on the ground.” —F.

Anything I tell you you tan use—on the terms we arranged. And I should not ‘take the risk of telling you anys: thing I wanted you to keep to your- self. As to my being young, I may be, but I've seen a good bit of women. And I say you may possibly like them, and you may possibly admire them for some things, but I'm hanged if you can trust them.” “Dear me!” said the interviewer. “And I'm not so precious easy taken in as sotiie chaps are. Now, there's Tilson—absolutely anything's good enough for him. I said to him one day, ‘Take three triangles, all the same size, and arrange them so a8 to make, the name of a well known cricketer.’ He asked me not to tell him and said he believed he could do it. Ile made his triangles and got to work. Later on he came to me and said he was pretty certain the name was Fry and jsked me if it wasn’t. “Well,” I said, that would be telling you nearly all of it.” So he wouldn't be told and sald he'd bet he'd get it before the end of prep. All through prep. he wag working at it as hard as he could go. The triangles looked like Euclid at a little distance, so that he didn't get copped. Besides, you can do what you like in Piggy’s prep.” “Piggy?” inquired the interviewer. “Piggott—one of the masters—he’'s no good. Well, after prep. Tilson owned up that he couldn't do it. ‘What? I said. ‘Can’t arrange three triangles so as to make the name of a well known cricketer? ‘No,’ said he. ‘No more can I said I. ‘And I never heard of any- body who could.” Then he chivied me, and we got into the bootroom and slung boots at one another until he sent one through the window. Ile way in a proper row, too, next day because he hadn't done any prep. Oh, you can always catch Tilson.” “Which things are in the nature of a digression,” observed the interviewer. “Nature of a which? Well, I'm not like Tilson, and I know most catches. But I’ve been taken in by women more than once, and I don’t trust any of them any more. Some time ago I used to get up to the sickrcom just before going to bed. I.d got a cold and sough and a tickling in the throat, and the matron gave me lozenges that weren't bad—I've paid money down for things that weren't half so decent to cat. So I'd sit cn the table and chew those lozenges and say that a day in bed would put me right—though that mever came off. couraged me to talk, and she used to talk herseif. If I thought the grub wasn’t quite up to the usual mark, I'd mention it. I'd make criticisms on the masters. I'd tell her about any special little lark we were having. And she used to listen to it all, and you'd have sworn she was on my side. Yet she used to pass the whole blessed thing on—peached regularly. There's a viper for you.” “Thus early does one learn discre- tion,” observed the interviewer. “Not so blessed early either,” said James Robinson. “I got done again after that. I didn’t know then they were all alike. 1 thought that matron might be an exception. It was in the holidays when I was stopping at my uncle's at Safwold. I've got three cous- ins there—all girls—and they'd got an- other girl, a friend of theirs, with them. Her name was Dora Lemaine. My uncle being the rector, he natural- ly corks me into his choir, where they can't sing for bananas, and [I do a solo for them on Sunday. That was the beginning, of course.” “Why ?” “Because all women are keen on anybody who sings or plays pretty well. This Dora Lemaine began to take a lot of notice of me. Consequent- ly I began to take some notice of her. Some ways she wasn’t bad.” “How old?” “She was a bit older than me. Per- haps about twenty-five. But if she'd been all right in other ways I wouldn't have let that interfere. I killed a wa- ter hen with a catty (that's a thing I bet you've never done) and gave her the plumage for a hat. Played tennis with her, though she wasn’t up to my class. Let her play my accompani- ments. Exchanged photographs. Show- ed her how to make jumpers. Ran five miles to catch the post in the next village for her one night. She kissed me once. Everything seemed to be all right. And all that time she was mak- ing game of me to my cousins (I found that out from the youngest of them) and repeating particularly private things that I'd said to her and sort of jeering at me. What's more, she was engaged. And that letter I took to the: | post for her was to the man. She's | married him now. When I was leav- ing, she wanted to kiss me again, but I wouldn't. No, you can’t trust any wo- man, I've done with them. »__Black' and White. to be finished throughout with fire- proof woodwork is now under Broadway. New York.
