W Pollock, Mile-End Road, Stepney. SIR: I have on two previous occasions begged you to cease sending daily articles to the Saturday.

Stepney had been doubly disappointing; again and again he drew up an empty line, and at last he flung the tackle into the well of the launch. "Even the damn fish won't bite," he said, and the humour of his remark cheered him. He was ten miles from the shore, and the blue coast was a dim, ragged line on the horizon.

"I have washed fourteen children," she declared, impressively, "fitted at least a dozen women with blouses and skirts, and three with boots. Besides a lot of odd things." Lord Arranmore set down his cup with a little shrug of the shoulders. "You have joined Brooks' Society?" he remarked. "Yes! I have been down at the Stepney branch all the morning.
The next day she received the lawyer.
