“She looks like a fairy' ship,” said a little girl on Cheltenham Beach, Auckland, the other evening, as she watched R.jVf.'S. Niagara travelling swiftly and silently down Rangitoto Channel towards the open sea. The sun was setting, and the bold outline of Rangitoto was dimly outlined 1 against a pearly sky, the black bulk of the mountain forming a romantic background for the ship. The Niagara's outline was almost lost in the twilight, but her hull and superstructure were deary indicated by the rows of lighted ports and cabin windows. She was more like a ghost ship, a phantom of the sea, than a great ocean-going liner.

A small boy who resides .at Takapuna. gave his parents a shock the other evening when lie entered his home with what appeared to be a “cauliflower” ear. It was evident that the youngster wa,s not suffering pain or discomfort, but his ear presented an alarming appearance. Closer inspection disclosed the fact that it was tied up with a piece of string, so as to bring the lower and upper lobes close together. “Whatever did you do this for?” asked his father, in amazement. Johnny explained that he “just wanted to took tough,” that was all. He had observed the aural “decoration” of a well-known wrestler who trains on Takapima Beach, and the cauliflower effect had stirred his youthful imagination. Needless to say, the invitation was of short duration.

In Invercargill the other day a young man. was carrying a. suitcase out of a shop, and across the pavement preparatory to placing it in a car, when unexpectedly one of the metal fastenings on the side of the suitcase came undone, A large shower of widely-as-sorted objects and articles of dress descended to the footpath (says the Southland Times), much to the embarrassment of the young man, as the garments included some of the more intimate sections of women’s apparel, Like all suitcases, this one had been packed tight almost to bursting, and the amount of “gear” strewn before a rapidly growing crowd seemed appalling. However, with a blushing face and pink ears, the young man unceremoniously gathered everything up in his arms and bundled them into the car, then drove off without further ado.
