HERBERTVILLE,

I heard that H.B. had to see Miss T. off. It is no use, old man ; you ought to have bought the bit of gold long before she took her departure.. . l hear that S.W. is feeding Miss N.C. on conversation lollies and peppermints. Surely she is sweet enough as it is... Miss M.W. is getting quite proud of herself. She says that Bhe has had four nice-looking young men propose to her already. . . Who was the driver that let his dray get stuck in the dry sand on the beach, on the Bth May? Never mind, old chap; better luck next time...B.W. and Miss S., I hear, are going to run in double harness. He says he is sure of the rabbit, but has not got the cage... l believe there is an attachment between Miss F.S. and A. EL, but you will have to look out, A.H., or elße A.B. will be cutting you out, because he was doing a heavy mash with her, after fetching her down here for a ride the other Sunday. . . What was that young chap thinking about when he got a cropper on the beach whilst going shooting a week or two ago ? . . Miss H. does not seem able to raise a boy of her own, but keeps herself contented by doing gooseberry.. .F.H. is always trying to jump into other people's .claims. .. Too bad of you,

old chap... l believe ß.B. and Miss M.W. are going to tie the fatal knot shortly,, The seven years' engagement will be due very soon... Our fair charmer at the hotel says people ought nol to talk about her so much, but perhaps people can't help talking about her, as she is developing into such a nice girl.. .F.H. seems awfully downhearted since his girl pulled him over the coals, but he is keeping thick with her brother, as if that would right matters. No use, old man. . . A.H. is down at last. Just came in time, old man, or someone would have been trying to cut you out. Now's the time for you to pop the question with her... Who was the man that introduced Miss H. to I.F. as his sister ? Don't let her do as she likes, I. I did not think you were so soft as to get a new overcoat to escort her home on that wet night. ..What were Miss S. and Miss M. doing in the shop one Saturday night when a certain young man was known to lock the door and take the key away? Whac was going on inside?... G.W. was doing a heavy mash with Miss M. opposite the Star the other night.
