BY THE WAY.
SOME COLLECTIONS AND REFLECTIONS. (By One of the Boys.) There may be no truth in the shark amour, but it is true that Christchurch lately has had the wind up. Speaking of Heraldic rights, most girls are entitled to bare arms. Pope Pius authorises his own coinage. It is expected that money will no longer be termed the root of all evil. It appears that there are no sharks at Sumner —but you want to go along Hereford or Cashel Streets. Two boys stole two different cars and ran into a post with each. They took the wrong kind of cars. They should have taken a Dodge. A writer says Canterbury v. Wellington match made “ cricket history.” Of course, and the Canterbury captain was a Page obit. First lady: We went camping. Took a tent and Jack had his fishing. It was so restful. Second lady: Yes, and we had to have a cheap holiday, too. “ But, Madame, you cannot marry again.
