WOODSIDE.

Walking so many miles to see one's ladylove is all right, but walking miles to see the smoke issuing from the chimney of the honse of one's late lady-Love is rather dry I should think. I don't know what T. thinks.. ..A W. says he will go for the O.M. if he puts him in the O. Don't hurt him, A.... The shower on the morning of Boxing Day made things rather damp. I think it must have damped the girls* spirits at the picnic also, because they were awfully dull. Not frightened of being put in the O. surely , girls ? Come, cheer up, you know 'faint heart never won a fair gentleman.'... Some light has been thrown upon the seamy Bide of life in Woodside. Such revelations!... The firßt of a series of socials turned out a merry little affair. Plenty of songs, good music, and * such mashing in the corner, such kissing on the sly .'...Ask T.W. about the cunning dodge of his of opening gates when going to the picnic on Boxing Day.... The Woodside Jockey Club held their inaugural meeting last Thursday. Everything went off satisfactorily. As treasurer, starter, and judge, Mr B. was an fait at his multifarious duties. The sohool sports came off the same day. After the races, and the prizes were presented to the winners of the same, a very pleasing little ceremony took place. One of the school boys with a neat little address, presented, on behalf of his comrades, a handsome stationery box and inkstand to their school master, Mr Pemadeni. Mr Pemadeni responded in suitable terms. That the recipient of this beautiful gift was worthy of such an honour is beyond question, but passing over that, the O.M. was very pleased to see a step in the right direction of good feeling towards one another. It was a pleasing contrast to the usual state of affairs in Woodside, and long may suoh good feeling continue. The day's fun wound up with a danoe in the schoolroom, which was a merry little affair. The O.M. could not help but notice how happy everybody looked. The air seemed quite yummy-yummy.... A certain new chum was in great demand at the W. picnic Don't all speak at once, girls.... Who was the girl that objected to the dance on Monday night because 'it was not right to danoe,' but who thought it was all right to dance and who did dance only a few nightß before? Bather inconsistent, eh P... Another entry for the Valley Stakes.. ..J.M. is soratohed for this event, so it's a walk over for the new 'un....0»t dit that J.K and K.B. are to be made one shortly. Congratulations, J....Wh0 was it that was kissing girls at the picnic, but who objected to a dance, on the ground that 'it was irreligious?'. .. Bather a nice rub that J.M. got the other night about ' try, try again.'
