Which is the favourite with the Ponsonby brunette— Charley, Patsy, or Sam, or does she intend to many the lot ? How forlorn W.G-., of the Twinkler, looked at Webbe's party when sweet Alice was flirting with that nice young man. Did Sammy think that, he wn<sin n, welkin <? match on Saturday night with that young i lady, or was he hurrying to catch the 'bus ? Did G-eorgy buy the hat with the £2 the Captain gave her?

When those i two mashers were waiting for their belles at Shelly Beach on Sunday afternoon last, they might have had more regard for the clay than to so persistently whistle " The Campbells are Comiu'." The Secretary of the Auckland Hibernian Catholic Benefit Society not having had the courtesy to forward the Observer the customary invitation, we are unable to publish any report of the proceeding, or description of the ladies costumes worn on the occasion of their late ball. Poor lly.-m has been compelled to abandon the musical profession at Helensville. The taste for German concertinas and Jews' harps killed him. Ho now thinks of trying the Solomon Islanders. He next tried storekeeping, but has had to cave. He says the Helensvillians are too wooden - headed to appreciate the co-operative system.
