CHARITIES' COLLECTION.
BEAUTY AND THE BOX.
[from our own correspondent.] Sydney, October 18. The collection boxes rattled all over Sydney on Saturday, when collections were taken up in aid of 60 charitable organisations. The market rate for a smile was a penny, while in at least one instance a whole kiss was sold for a sovereign. Of course in very many cases the smile was given and never paid for, but in many others beauty and her box proved irresistible to the male person with loose tram fares, and the total dragged by youth and sweetness from the public pocket amounted to £2220, which is a substantial increase on last year's figures.
