A Little Girl Protests

A Little Girl Protests.

Darling "Smad,"—

One of the great advantages of having read the world's classics, says a prominent writer (not me), is that it enables one to speak on terms of equality with other bores. But that is not so. One would have to read either tracts and whatnot, or else join the f.o.s.u. (in small type, please". That's all it deserves) to be on an equality with the bores up here at V.U.C. Why Must the Christians wander round trying to justify themselves, and why can't the communists and the socialists, and all the other -ists leave me in peace. Oh, I Wish they would. And then there are the violent pro-Britishers who Will persist in having the most Awful arguments directly behind me, even in lectures, and simply won't listen to what the lovely professor has to say, and use the most dreadful language to the poor defenceless communists who didn't do anything but gabble idiocy all over the place, and goodness knows They can't help it. all Oh yeah's, and sez you's, thats the dinkum oil, and Oh, all sorts of terrible expressions that I'm sure no Good girl should hear!!

Oh, won't you use your Influence to stop it, so that I can have some peace? I know I'm only a woman, but you will, won't you, dearest? If you do I'll kiss you.

I am, etc.,

B.

(Does that promise hold good long, "B"?—Ed.)
