"'The wolves which appeared earlier in the evening's entertainment are, the programme assures us, trained entirely by kindness.

It would have been a further kindness, at any rate to the audience, if some of the training, which the wolves doubtless do not appreciate at its proper value, had been expended on Miss Mustelford's efforts at stage dancing.

We are assured, again on the authority of the programme, that the much-talked-of Suggestion Dances are the last word in Posture dancing.

The last word belongs by immemorial right to the sex which Miss Mustelford adorns, and it would be ungallant to seek to deprive her of her privilege.

As far as the educational aspect of her performance is concerned we must admit that the life of the fern remains to us a private life still.
