"You, too, reader, if you have not already visited ----'s, have a
pleasant, bright happy experience before you. Why not visit this
modern Forum to-morrow?"--_"Callisthenes" in the evening papers,
June 23rd._
One of our reasons for not taking this well-meant advice was that June
24th was a Sunday.

"Great fires continue in Germany. The latest include gutting of the
Moabit Goods Station in Berlin wherein tanks of petrol, hydrogen,
_et cetera_, exploded, resulting in the destruction of a part of
Vilna and the township of Osjory near the Grodno conflagration
station and a basket factory at Happe."--_Ceylon Independent_.
The effect of this remarkably extensive explosion seems to have been
felt even in Colombo.

It was with a real pang that I tore myself away from the Frugality
Exhibition, where the culinary demonstrations were most enthralling.
Just before leaving, however, I watched a wonderfully tasty hash being
compounded with oddments of rabbit and banana flour. It exhaled an aroma
which I hated to leave--even for luncheon at the Fitz.
AT THE FITZ.
By a strange coincidence I made the acquaintance of an admirable rabbit
_goulash_, which was, I believe, identical with that which I saw being
prepared at the Frugality Exhibition.
