PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
VOL. 158.
February 18th, 1920.
CHARIVARIA.

Professor WALLER has demonstrated by experiment that emotion can be

Sir THOMAS LIPTON'S challenge for the America Cup has been accepted by the
New York Yacht Club. It appears that neither Mr. Secretary DANIELS nor
"President" DE VALERA was consulted.
* * *
Widespread alarm has been caused in London by the report that a certain
famous artist has threatened to paint a Futurist picture of a typical
O.B.E.

A Dutch paper reminds us that the ex-CROWN-PRINCE has taken a Berlin
University degree. We can only suppose that nobody saw him take it.
