Things the O M wonld like to know:— Whether G E has not T S on a string, and whether L S is a full-blown pork butcher now. What price trotters?. ..l B shaves his moustache now. Quite right, I; you can't be too bore-faced these day8...1 F says she does not like going to dances without W P. ..What's the matter with W 1?..T T says Arch Hill is a pleasant walk, especially when the tall young lady is with him. What would the Wakefield-street young lady say if she knew?.. l H says he must leave town, as he is too well known by the O M..BD says her boy will always be too ' young 'to get married. Never mind, E ; try D C again. .F W says that ' The sone that reached my heart ' is an octave too high for his voice. .F Me says the only girl he loves is a boot machinist. .To whom does F W belong— K M or M M ?. .D G still dons the childish costumes.
