Lampy begins another annual attempt to earn his stipend with the very proper wish that his little harmless fun will offend no one and the knowledge that genial jokes are much better than those that hurt.

So much for the pictures. The rest of the number is well filled with editorials pleasantly harmless, jokes not without point, and longer articles of real merit...
