The Lodge Doctor
Who must we meet with silver coin
Ere any of hope to join
Royal Oak lodge, Sons of Saint George?
The Doctor.
Who makes me take off coat and vest,
Places his head against my chest
Listens to beats that have no rest,
The Doctor
Who sees my tongue and feels my wrist,
And Ger my ribs he rubs his fist
To see If anything he's missed,
The Doctor.
Who sings on smoker nights to all.
Gives his glad hand to large and small,
Ready to check us when call,
The Doctor.
Who daily calls when I'm in bed
Feels my pulse and strokes my head,
Prescribes for me some sugar of lead,
The Doctor.
Who saves the lodge from travelling fakes,
Imposing on our trustful JalSes
And for reward no thanks he takes,
The Doctor.
And when in hotter climes we trace
Our wandering ways with frightened face,
The first we meet Of all our race,
Win be the Doctor
And as the flames will grow too hot
Not hopeless then will be our lot,
Relief We'll get right on the spot,
From the Doctor

AnH-Hat Raising

Should an anti-hat raising club he
formed for men who object to raising
their hats TO women?
The suggestion IS not a new one. A
Swiss newspaper contains the following
interesting announcement:
II Karl Reinhart, schoolmaster, do
hereby give notice that, owing to incip-
lent badness and a tendency TO ca
tarrh, I shall not take of my hat to
any women whom may meet on the
high road or in the street, from now
until March 81 To this rule there viii

was a good deal of sense in Karl Rein
harts resolution.

they have 70 go through" he said.
T. for one. should be quite willing TO
join an anti-hat raising club, which, by
IrOviding some badge for it's members,
would excuse them forever from hat
raising"
Indignation was expressed by a we'll
known woman's social worker at West
minister when the question was put TO
her.
The suggestion that men catch colds
through raising their hats is ridiculous.
IT is only necessary for a man to raise
his hat about an inch TO be perfectly
within the bounds OF politeness."
Taking ones hat of stimulates.
rather than impedes the growth Of the
hair said a member Of the staff OF
Messrs. Truefitt's. the Bond street hair
dressers. Wearing a hard bowler hat
continually on the head very often
causes badness. No ventilation, or very
little, is possible, and the sides of the
hat sometimes cause the hair TO fall

TeachingaP Princess Economy

To ne German mind frugality is crs'
OF tie most necessary feminine virtues.
The German Emperor is evidently q
great believer In this. as the following
shows.
His only daughter, Princess Victoria
Louise, ordered a costume from her
dressmaker for a special occasion.
When finished. il pleased her royal
highness very much, except that the
buttons did not seem quite good enough.
The dressnaker promptly suggested
the use OF others. costing twice as much
as the originals. But the young lady
demuTred at the extra cost, explaining
that she must first ask her father.
What the Emperor said is not record
ed, but the dressmaker received y ord
10 deliver the dress with the cheaper
buttons
BY the way. to our ears il sounds
strange to hear the matrimonial pros
poets Of this young princess. who is only
in her sixteenth year, discussed. Among
royalties, however, such matters take
years 70 settle, and this necessitates
an early start
