ALDOUS HUXLEY

Mrs. Melilla

MRS. MELILLA, who to her intimate friends

Is always Old Mother Mackerel,

And who, by the way, introduced Pretty Miss Barbara Bunny, the cinema actress,

To Viscount Blattis (but that is another story),

Recently had an unpleasant adventure. Taking a bath some nights ago in her suite at the Ritz,

She swelled in the heat and stuck. Efforts to drag her out having failed, the plumbers, ,

Hastily sent for at midnight, were compelled

To break the bath before she could be extracted.

None the worse for her adventure, Mrs. Melilla

Thanks her friends for the flowers and kind enquiries

Which have poured in upon her ever since.

Miss Barbara Bunny

AN interesting fact which, be it noted, Is not very generally known,

Is that Miss Barbara Bunny has been floated

As a Limited Company. Her own Holding is half the Ordinary Shares. Mrs. Melilla, whose adventures We spoke of recently, owns the Debentures.

The other Ordinaries belong

To Mr. Suleiman. Affairs

Are good, the Company going strong.

Lord Blattis

LORD BLATTIS, I learn,

Has arrived at Deauville

On board his yacht,

The Opeponax.

His lordship is only

Accompanied by

Miss Barbara Bunny

And Mrs. Melilla,

With a picked jazz band of thirty performers.

His object in going to France is to visit, The graves of his friends and relations, Who fell in the Great War.
