fTHE NEW ZEALAND GIRL',■IA. writer m "Madam" generalises on the subject of the New Zealand girl (writes our London correspondent); ::— " The New Zealand #rl takes unbounded interest m other , people, particularly if they possess the charm of the English hometraining. She will stare at a man m a way that would scandalise an Early Victorian spinster. It is a privilege that no false modesty debars her from using. If a mah can speak with enlhghteninent of j England, or of London particularly, she will listen to him with delight, for it is the dream of almost every maid- m Maoriland to come 'Home.' London itself is, to her, a wonderland of inexhaustible charms. The great city becomes an inspiration. She realises m it a conception of life and magnitude nevar to be effaced.— "N.Z, Times, '» * April 2, 1907. I send yer this clipping from one of the daily fatman rags. This' is the way that the masses of darkest Hingland are deluded. How any human being can rite such lies and slander about New Zealand girls is a puzzle, and how it can pass the editor is even more remarkable. Anyhow the article is a vile lie. The bosses wife (Madame Sharkey) is a New Zew "Zealand girl and repudiates with disdain on her own behalf and all other New Zealand girls such dam lies. What are the facts ? In the first case no New Zealand woman looks on Brittain as her home* she -Jooks on it as a foreign country and won't listen for a minute to the tig-lugged small-grained Hinglish Johnnie. Further more she doesn't stare at a man and the bosses wife wonders why suoh a shameless state, ment should be made yer can't understand. Another lie is that every New Zealand maid wants to go to London. They do not, they know that London with its cold fog and unspeakable filth and immorality is a suburb of Hell, and no decent Maoriland girl craves to go to such a pit of infamy. The bosses wife (Madam Sharkey) suggested that the writer is a . member of the demi monde, and yer can bet yer boots that she is. Yer can see that it is a woman who wrote this scandolous article. Madam Sharkey, the bosses wife, feels sure that she is a procuress acting for some of the great bawdy houses of London. Yer can see . for yerself by reading the clipping that it must be so. It is a damnabl insult to New Zealand all the same. It makes yer sick to think how such filthy stuff gets into a so-called respecta-ble paper. If "Truth" had done such a thing. If it had appeared m "Truth" then yer would have heard ( a great bowl. Parsons, usurers and the , wealthy lower orders would have yelled their syphilitic throats cracked • and their false teeth cracked like castanets, saying with a loud voice, "did yer ever hear the like of that -, and some scraggy old women . headed by Moses J. North would roar, no. As yer have read when Christ was brought up before the beak Pilate tbe fatman, the right thinking person, when they were offered the choice between the Son of God and a robber, they yelled for Gord's sake spare the life of the thief. vSo the fatman crucified Christ because he denounced usurers theives and scoundrels. Yer no that the same crowd would kill him again if he were here, further— they would call him a lethor-lunged trade unionist and belt- the soul out of him as they did on the cross nearly two thousing years ago— the bosses wife- wishes she could lay hold of some of these < psalm - singing sons and daughters of sea cooks and she assures me that she would kick their hams. Now I must tell yer that me and Madam are going to have a great spuck raising racket soon,, and as we have the porc-or to drag out the souls . of living persons yer will hear some iqueer things soon. Durham and Alderney are at school. and going strong, they are splendid kids/ they reflect . great credit on me 'and the bosses wife. Of course they are all my worr ick. JIM THE MILKER.
