To the Editor of the "Nontu-Cuina Dany News"
Siz—Do Cuckoos read the calendar? Yesterday, May 1, at 6 am. I heard the first cuckoo of the season, the familiar sound that haunts the woods at Zikawei, Zose, and places removed from amusement centres. I e at a peaceful section of Avenue Haig.
I trust I am not treading on anybody's toes if I sing two lines to a mere cuckoo: all I call thee Bird or Spring?
Shanghai, May 2.
Jay-Cuckoo.
