TE KOPTRU.
The question is daily being asked, why no report of the late ball was sent you? Young ladles have looked quite sour after the arrival of each Obsebvee on finding no account of what had fluttered their hearts for week's previous, and have justly censured each and all of their male acquaintances f ov nnch lietrli-.'.enco It, rr.hlly | a-.v.ervc! a .:oporfc.

Surely Sam has before posed aB a public speaker. Then the manager's speech — the eulogising of his several departmental managers. Surely all this merited reporting. It is monstrous to suppose that society can progress, when such momentous gatherings are unknown to all the world. And . not even a single young lady acknowledged by the .press as the belie. Perhaps even now it would be 1 advisable to settle this vexed question.
