Harper's Bazar also lacks originality and copies a late joke from the Lampoon, entitled "Etiquette - 'But I can't let ye up stairs till ye've put yer name in the dish,'" with a drawing almost facsimile of the original, without, it is needless to add, due credit being given. All of which affords interesting reflections upon the degeneracy of public morals.
