V.P.— Chestnuts 1 V.. Tauranga. — Yummy-yummy item. In fact quite too yummy-yummy, for us. A MOKBINBVILLE CORRESPONDENT. — Will .endeavour to comply with your request. T.C., Wellington. — 'Our. valuable columns ' too valuable for screeds such as yours. Cantab.— Capital ! Have used, as you will see. Shall be glad to hear from you again. Tarn O'Shanteb, Dunedin. —Pathos I Do you call that pathos! Nearly tickled us to death. Vox Portai. -Bosh! Why don't you learn to write English before you attempt Latin ? Silverpen, Thames — The plot of your story is as old as original sin but not half so interesting. Good Litck. —Notes referred to in your letter too personal. A joke's a joke but —it should not be carried too far. N.P.G.D., Palmerston North.— Thanks for enclosure. You will have seen from last week's issue that it was of use. Coon, New Plymouth.— What are you giving us? We don't want yarns from 'Handy Andy' anyway, even when they are marked ♦ original.' Becky Shabpe.— Hardly think Batire is your forte. Pars pointless and of no ear.tbly interest. Send along the point by next mail and we will reconsider. Vindex.— A column or two of gush and grovel about the Imperial Institoot and His Royal Obesity the Prince of Wales. Tossed into the ever-yawing basket. Paksv.— Letter too sweet for anything. Unfortunately we are not taking any more poetry just now. Overstocked and •clearing 1 to make way for Autumn shipments. A Loveb of Art.— That's what we said. Many of the ' aocepted ' pictures exhibited this year were daubs and quite as bad as any of those Bhown in the ' Chamber of Horrors.' Abgtjs, Lichfield. — Yes, your notes were refused owing to deficient postage. Then you sent them back, and we have had to pay 4d deficient postage on them this time. Why don't you see that your letters are weighed before mailing ? O.W. L., Cambridge.— The pathetic swagger who recites his tale of woe in rugged verse, which rugged verse halts and is lame and blind and paralytic, has been done to death. We are over-stocked with swaggers' experiences of this description. Edward B.— No, there's ' nothing to pay ' Edward when you become a J.P., unless you shout for all hands in honor of the great event. And there is 4 nothing to get '—except the glory of it, which is imperishable. But you should invest in a bell-topper after you are appointed, and a white vest, while inexpensive, looks dignified. Hobbs for bargains in drapery ! He is not tv be beaten ! Mr C. Fenton was for 20 years manager of the well-known Queen-street firm, W. H. Fenton & Co. He has now started in business for himself at the central premises, opposite National Bank, Queen-street. From hia lengthy experience of the hatter's hoiser's trade and his undoubted qualifications as a shre;/d man of business, Mr C. Fenton ought to do well. '- '.That popular manufacturer of coverings for the pedal extremities, Mr E. Bridgens, (long and favourably known to Ancklanders), notifies in our advertising columns that he has just opened the ' West End Boot Palace,' (opposite new Herald Office, Queen-street). The stock is entirely new and comprisee the latest novelties in boots and shoes, both imported and 'own make.' Mr Bridgens is famous for his hand-sewn boots, which are a treat to wear, and as stylish in appearance as they make 'em. Mr Bridgene (who has a branch shop in Karangahape Boad) is an enterprising tradesman and deserves to succeed.
