THE CHAFFLNG DISH

original at the Ninety seventh Squadron
show
Bonus asks that we ''feed'' his inclosure
to Will Lou and Alec. 1t is entitled '"The
Dying Grease Hound,'' which, we are in
formed, means an expiring aviation me-
chanic We wish we had space for more
of it -
My Madeneisele in Clermont
My face more will see
These wild, wild girls in Aulnat
1 know they'll think of me-
And when they call the muster roll
They'll call my name in van
For I've eaten my last mess of beans
Drunk my last cup of rain,
I'm going to better land
Where everything is bright
Where Vichy passes grow OH trees
And you can stay out every night,
Where the NJ. P.'s will not bother you
And you needn't change your sox
And little streams of Cognac
Come trickling down the rocks.
When Tennyson said 'We needs must love
the highest when we see it," we presume he
meant to make an exception of the II. G. L.
Speaking of Tennyson, our literary chat
fers may be pleased to be reminded of Walter
Bagehot's humorous summary of "Enoch
Arden" Philip Littell quotes it in his new
volume, Books and Things"
A sailor who sells fish breaks his leg,
gets dismal, gives up selling fish, goes to
sea, is wrecked on a desert island, stays
there some years, on his return finds his
wife married to miller speaks to a land
lady on the subject, and dies.
We Bow Our Prettlest
When the child is parked in her crib for the
night,
And the mouse traps tight baited with
cheese,
It's then I may loll at my ease
I MUNICH buttered popcorn with all of nv
might,
And scan by the Mazda bulbs sixty watt
light
The wisdom of Socrates.

And M. V. N. S. adds that as 1920 is a
leap year she doesn't see why our clients
shouldn't have 365 dinners at home and
still spend the 366th an evening of car
nival and halloo. Will Lou also writes all
the way from Lebanon claiming to be the
original contributor to the Dish. He saws
that this will entitle him to have two lumps
of sugar at any dinner arranged by our
high spirited patrons.
InOSe VINO protest against the newspaper
habit Of referring to debutantes as buds
may not realize that this is perfectly good
Shakespearean usage. When Miss Juliet
Capulet was to be presented to the society
of Verona her father called her and the
other girls who would be at the reception
l~'fresh female buds"
