BY THE WAY.

SOME REFLECTIONS AND COLLECTIONS. (By One of the Boys.) There is no truth in the rumour that the “Star” intends to discontinue its ( series of articles on tennis by Suzanne : Lenglen. Mr R. B. Owen’s initials will not now stand for “ River Bank.” At present they signify’, “ Reds Beware ! ” Mr Jones (Marsden) is proud of his teeth. He says. “I have got all the teeth I ever had.” It may* be true, but he must carry his milk teeth round in a box. “ Yes,” said the young man. “ I have been round the world, and been in all sorts of scraps, but that’s done with. I’m going to get married and save money and settle down and have a peaceful time.” The flapper has outraged 1926, and there are some who think she’s reached the limit. They are wrong. A Frenchman has discovered a method of manufacturing silk from spun glass, and it’s transparent. I’m just waiting for 1927. Won’t there be a howl. & Lincoln College is now in the limelight through the decision of the Government to have a bigger agricultural college in the North Island. An American lady’ was once being shown over it by one of the directors, and afterwards she said, J “ Naow I take it real koind of you folk to cawl this college after our Abe. I cawl it thotful of you, for our Ab« was a re-awl countryy boy.” The professor let it go at that. Mr Lysnar, Gets surprisin'er Every day he tries to lower Coates’s stock. But gets a knock When told to go to Samoa. Golfers at St Anne’s Have had tempers like Suzanne’s; They* thrash the green. She annoys the Queen. The Labour Party is far gone With Socialist jargon, “ Wage-slave ” screeching TV on’t help the vote beseeching. “Two consuls of France,” You’ve heard it before, perchance. Now Caillaux’s the controlly ’un Who apes Napoleon.
