PUNCH,
OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
VOL. 102.
January 23, 1892.
THE COVENT GARDEN MASQUE.
Mumming--masking--masquerading;
Fanning--fun--fanfaronading;
Dancing--duncing--deft disguises;
Singing--supping--strange (sur) prizes;
Galloping and gallivanting
Couples much in need of BANTING;
All the customary make-up
CLARKSON's customers can fake up;
All the little childish raiment,
Fatties don--for sylph and fay meant;
Tally-hos and Hey-no-nonnies:
Jackies--Jillies--Jennies--Johnnies--
Barber's blockhead--nothing dafter--
Heralding "Before and After":
"Auntie's Bottle Hot"--a phial
Only for external trial--
Gems of London--gems of Paris--
Arid gusts--AUGUSTUS HARRIS--
Splitting mirth--some garbs that split, too--
Aching heads next morning, ditto!

TO BE AVOIDED.--An Intemperate tone by a Temperance lecturer.
