Punch, Or the London Charivari, Volume 159, October 13, 1920

Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 159, October 13, 1920 Owen Seaman CHARIVARIA. Mr. Riazanov, the successor to Kameneff, is now residing in Grosvenor Street. Several readers have written to ask us how his name is pronounced. Wrongly, we believe, in nine cases out of ten. We have been given to understand that that versatile pair, the Two Bobs, are contemplating a tour of the music-halls in the mining district, where they are sure to be given a rousing reception. According to The Evening News two miners recently played a quoit match for a hundred pounds. In all probability they are now agitating for the two shillings' increase to enable them to have a little side bet. "We cannot choose how we will be born," says a medical writer. No; some are born poor and others are born into a miner's family. "Where stands England to-day?" we are asked. While travelling in the Tube we have often thought that most of it was standing on our feet. "With the outgoing of September we face once more the month of October, with its falling leaves and autumn gales," states a writer in a daily paper. This, we understand, is according to precedent.
