GISBORNE.
Monty Smith looks improved since his marriage. Mrs M. is too fond of putting up her hand to her face in church to show off her gold bracelets. The sermons in Trinity Church now contain fairy tales. Miss L. wears her engagement ring in church and does not forget to smooth her hair. Captain Kerr, the Standard ink-slinger, has been writing some crisp leaders. At the great party the other evening the bailiffs did duty as usual in the capacity of waiters and footmen. It was a great success. Towsey wore a stovepipe hat at least 3 inches taller than any other man at the wedding. He •was the beau of the ball, dear boys. , Miss L., you think it's fun, no doubt, To laugh in church, and stare about, "When on ball dress the parson preaches You should take heed to what he teaches. Poor Herb ! He has given up those pleasant walks between the hotel and the Hall. The Bank cockatoo cut him out. Oh, Mrs. W., you're a nice duenna, But some poor swains must wish you at Gehenna, Or Paris, Or Jerusalem, or Vienna, or Hades, You might have less regard for Mrs Grundy, And not monopolise the girls on Sunday, But give the boys a chance for one day with the ladies.
