Bildunterschrift: Miss Lyon Hunter (to Herr Bogoluboffski, the famous Virtuposo, whose afternoon Piano-forte Recitals are the wonder of the world). A-by-the bye, Herr Bogoluboffski, we thought you might perhaps like to try the new Broadwood?" Herr Bogoluboffski (who has been asked to dine en famille, and spend the evening "quite in a friendly way"). "Laties! If you vould berhaps vish zat I should amuse ze company, kvite in a vrently vay, I gan preak ze boker on my arrm, I gan schvallow ze dafle-schboons, and I gan schdick a lighted dallow-gantle in my mouse vizout pudding it out - pot I gannot blay ze biano after tinner!" [N.B. - On the strength of Herr Bogoluboffski's coming, Mrs. L. H. has cunningly invited just one or two very select friends to drop in during the evening, and the new Broadwood Grand has been procured ar great expense for the occasion.
