A PASSING TWINGE.

A letter from the Seattle, addressed to a young lady in a Melbourne emporium:— "Dear Maisie— Our mail, has just come in, and I've had a letter from mv sweetie at home. She's a cute little girl.. She says she's been dreaming that I was in Melbourne and getting a°round with other girls. She mentions that I gave her a promise that all the time this cruise lasted I'd steer clear of girls and be honest-to-goodness true to her! This has hit mc up a bit. I can't tell her a lie. So, if you'll just consider our date for Saturday night cancelled you'll do a good turn to a poor gob's conscience I'll just hike along to the V tEmma and write her a long letter describing the kangaroos I've never seen and something about sunny Australia -with the sun out. —"iours, faithfully, Maurice." P.S.—l've just been "reading a speech by one of our public men, who says that we are "dinkum cousins." I'm rioht glad to take his word for it. Mv sweetie wouldn't be so narrow-minded as to object to mc entertaining a member of the family. Will see you at the depot at 8 Saturday night. Bring along the family aloum, so that I can get acquainted with the others. "P.P.S.—Do they let cousins ~ e t married in your country?— Maurice."
