. The Angel has a poor opinion of the bachelors and their ball. Who was that gent, with the red— beg pardon. — auburn hair that broke the window at the Wade " kick ?" . Any idea, Jack ? Wonderful are the oratorical powers of some men in this district. Spouting at an Assessment Court is a losing game ; Mr J. can tell you.

COKOMANDEL. Wliat made poor Joe look so melancholy at the ball? Was she not there ? We hare a Spanish beauty down here that •would put some of your Auckland belles in the shade. Why does a certain officer of a church always disturb the congregation by coming in during service ? The Coromandel brass band gave a dance the other night when Mrs Barrett appeared in black velvet and was undoiibtedly the belle. The young ladies of Coromandel want to know why the trucker of the Home Rule, W. W. W., shaved ? Archy Kelso is a regular attendant at the Driving Creek Institute. He must be going into partnership in a certain. drapery establishment. Lest the Auckland " jam-tarts " should imagine that we are out of the world of fashion down here, I send you a description of a few of the ladies' dresses on a recent gala day. Mrs W. A. W., blue silk, Gainsborough hat, with blue feather and trimmings to match ; Mrs 8., pompadoiir sateen, white hat and feather ; Mrs J. T., black silk, and bonnet to match.
