[_Publishers' Note_.
Readers who are not sated yet and still for more are hungering
Will find Vol. II. describe how E. gave cause for scandal-mongering.
Vol. III. narrates how R. became enamoured of a fairy at
A ball, was robbed of all his wealth and joined the proletariat.
How E. washed clothes to earn her bread, while R. reclined in beery ease
Upon his bed, will be exposed in Vol. IV. of this series.
And further volumes show exactly what was worst and best in E.,
And how at last, aged eighty-four, she found her life's true destiny.]

A SIDE-SLIP.
"Just before the war we were in danger of having the ugly and even
abominable word 'aviator' fostered upon us. Just as that word seemed
victorious, _The Times_ suddenly announced that it had decided once and
for all to use 'airman' instead, and there can be no doubt that the
example there set, which was copied by journalists on other papers,
secured the predominance of a good new English word over a deformed
importation.
