"Did you stop to get my cap?" she said as we came up. "Thanks awfully."
I wanted to hug the little thing, but her dignity forbade any such
exhibition.
The only other reference to the afternoon's experience was on a postcard I
happened to see written the same night, addressed to her mother.
"DARLING BEE" (it ran in very large baby characters),--"I had the most
adorable ride to-day I ever had. I learned to galup all by myself. I thaut
at first the horse was running away with me, but Uncle Dick soon caut me
up. He had my cap.
Your loving
PHILLIDA."
I only hope that Isabel will think it was all just as deliberate as that.

"The Ashton-under-Lyne fight is beginning, and _The Daily News_ comes
forward to-day with the suggestion that the Liberal candidate should
withdraw.
The practical effect of the candidature of a Liebral may be only to
reduce the Labour majority....
In such circumstances we think it matter for great regret that there
should be any Libtral candilature....
Upon this the comment at the Liberal headquarters to-day was, 'Well, it
is a little difficult to know just where we are, isn't it?'"--_Evening
Paper._
Yes, or _what_ we are, for that matter.

"GILBERT-SULLIVAN OPERAS.
Friday, 'Trial by July.'"--_Provincial Paper._
It seems a long remand.

JOURNALISTIC CAMARADERIE.
"The whole of this preliminary business is nauseating, and in _real_
sporting circles it is taboo as a topic of conversation. No wonder _The
Times_ devoted a leading article to the matter the other day."--_Daily
Mail._
How these NORTHCLIFFE journals love one another!

MORE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
The sporting public is so intrigued by the prospect of a DEMPSEY-CARPENTIER
match that other impending championship events are in danger of being
forgotten.
The present position in the challenge for the World's Halma Championship is
this. Mr. George P. Henrun is patriotically endeavouring to secure the
contest for Britain, and to that end has put up a purse of half-a-guinea.
The Soci�t� Halma de Bordeaux has cut in with a firm offer of twenty-two
francs, and the matter now remains in abeyance while financial advisers
calculate the rate of exchange in order to ascertain which proposal is the
more advantageous. The challenger, of course, is Tommy Jupes, aged twelve,
of Ashby-de-la-Zouche. His opponent, the champion, has an advantage of
three years in age and two inches in reach, but the strategy of Master
Jupes is said to be irresistible. Only last week he overwhelmed his mother,
herself a scratch player, when conceding her four men and the liberty to
cheat twice.
