Please forget it.
Let your only
NATION
Be your determi-
Nation
NOT TO BUY IT.
* * *
THE PROPRIETORS OF
_THE STAR_
urge you not to buy it any more until
the War is over and paper is cheap again.
Buy _The Evening News_ instead.
* * *
DON'T BUY
_THE SPHERE_.
IT IS ONLY SEVENPENCE A WEEK,
BUT DON'T BUY IT.
It is full of Pictures of the War, but
you can do without them. It has
punctual literary judgments of astounding
finality by "C.K.S.," but they
can wait.
Do anything in reason, but don't buy
_The Sphere_.
The depreciation, you observe, is not always quite whole-heartedly
done. But it must be remembered that the habit of self-praise cannot
be broken down in a minute, and this is only a beginning.

PAN PIPES.
In the green spaces of the listening trees
Pan sits at ease,
Watching with lazy eyes
Little blue butterflies
That flicker sidelong in the fitful breeze;
While on his pipe he plays
Quaint trills, and roundelays
With dropping cadences;
And shy red squirrels rub against his knees.
