The very latest is told at the expense of a verdant young man who hails from a township not a hundred miles from Te Aroha. He recently took unto himself a young charmer as wife, but unfortunately for himself he had not informed himself respecting her abilities as a housewife. Poor creature, she iid her best, and if the pastry was "guaranteed to kill at ten yards," and the roast beef calculated to make her hubby a confirmed dyspeptic, why, of course, everyone requires to learn, and we all know the value of the old saying, "If first you don't succeed, try, try, try again." The young wife did try, try, try again, with this result: After two weeks' experience of matrimony, the young husband made his appearance at the maternal domicile, and, throwing himself into the "old wooden rocker," thus unburdened himself —"Mother, have you got anything cooked in the house? If you have, let me have it for goodness' sake, for I haven't had a square meal for a whole fortnight!" The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't speak now!— Te Aroha News.
