“Australians are really more English than New Zealanders in their customs, their churches and their schools,” declared Mr. 11. J. Robins, who has returned to Christchurch after a stay of fourteen months in Australia. “The great public schools, which are really in private hands, have the closest possible similarity to the great English public schools. I also noticed that Australians are far more tolerant of New Zealanders than we are of them. It is a groat pitv that there could not be more co-operation between the two Dominions.” “But my dear,” bloated the poor little hen-pecked husband, “you’ve been talking for half an hour, and 1 haven’t said a word.” “No.” snapiied his wife, “you haven't said anything, but you've been listening in a most aggravating manner, and I'm not going to stand for it.”
