LETTING THE CAT OUT.

The Melbourne correspondent of the Sydney “ Morning Herald ” writes : “ A number of persons, undeterred by the many divorces that have recently taken place, have availed themselves of this Christmas time to get married. Several of them have been in what we understand as ‘ high life,’ and there have been very formidable accounts of them in the newspapers, the occasions being, as is not unusual, taken advantage of to make known to the world the patrician connections of the high contracting parties. One of these newlywedded couples had a mind to avoid, if possible, the attentions which commonly follow people on their honeymoon tour, and so agreed with each other that they would behave as if they were old married folk. But the lady forgot her part in the comedy, and when they sat down to tea on their arrival at one of our watering-places, she unthinkingly asked Charles if he took sugar. The waiter looked up at the ceiling, but he communed within himself to the effect that if the lady did not know whether Charles took sugar, she could not have been married to him very long. And straightway the whole hotel knew that those young people had come down there to spend their honeymoon.”
