on coming out of Mr. Rosing's recital."--_"Times'" Musical

AN EXPENSIVE AMUSEMENT.
"As," says one of Mr. Punch's many and very welcome correspondents,
"you will probably be writing for the benefit of your readers a short
handbook on how to be demobilised, I enclose for your guidance my
solicitor's bill. He was engaged from November 12th until I returned
home on leave on December 30th and took a hand in the game myself.
The chief work was tracing the various Government Departments to their
hidden lairs in which they indulge in the pleasing habit of exchanging
minutes.
"Some day perhaps demobilisation will reach me. The sooner the better,
for I can never settle this account on my Army pay."
So much for the preamble. Here, with the alteration only of certain
names, is the document itself.
