1 am sorry to see by the Home papers that one of our favourite singers, Madame Patoy, has been taken away from our midst.

She will be much missed on Good Friday next in the oratorio which is (riven on that evening in the Albert Hall.

I saw the other day a rather novel piece of bric-a-brac as a wall ornament. This is made with a nice straw cap (those used to pack bottles in). It has a narrow tin sel braid twisted round and round it, leaving a space between and some ribbon to hang it up by with two or three natty bows attached.
