We were very pleased to meet a palpitating Commerce student the other day who pressed into our clammy hand this verse—

To be kissed by a Tory
Sounds well in a story
But put into practice
Is boring and gory.
A man who voles Labour
Does well as a neighbour
But you fight to recover
If he acts as a lover
And there's something you've missed
If you've never been kissed
By a Communist.

He then departed, after assuring us that he felt the advice would be of interest to Victorian maidens.
