“Bush Telegraph” Fails
The “bush telegraph” was very active this week with regard to an alleged sale of silk stockings in an Auckland shop. The rumour indicated that the stockings would be put on the counters at 2.30 p.m, and half an hour before that time a large crowd of women and girls lingered as unconcernedly as possible in the vicinity of the shop waiting for the appointed hour. At 2.30 they went in, but unfortunately on this occasion the “bush telegraph” wires must have been out of order for there were no stockings for sale.
