TAURANGA TALES.
Where did Dick borrow the coat to do the mash with on Thursday evening ? Who invited F. F. to the dance ? The charming Miss A's have returned home, but have not started to do the mashee yet. What time on Monday morning did the riding party get home from Te Puke ? The Fad intends to have nothing more to do with the would-be's. He is a full blown ' jam tart' now. You will have to mind your eye Dick when P. gets about again. As I predicted some time ago old Ned has been the cause of a falling off in the ladies at the would-be's dance. They have to do a lot of buck-dancing now. Grreat competition in the barbering business here just now. You can get a shave for 3d when the barber is in. Peter looks awfully dejected lately. What's the matter, old boy ? Those horrid girls again ! This looks healthy. A man has this notice in his window — ' G-one to work ; open at 5 o'clock p.m. or thereabouts.' Drapery sales, salvage stocks, &c, are all the rage here now. Ask J. about his latest acquisition. It was very naughty of Charley to take that other young lady for a ride and leave his own girl at home. Masher Ted had better be careful ; he has too many strings to his bow. Our Mutual Improvement Societj is the largest in the Auckland province. There is a Land Court to be held here next month. Grreat preparations at the Water-spoil-ing factory. Ned looks quite Rosey nn it again. The glove is down. He waits the foe who seeks that glove to raise ?
