THAMES TITTLE TATTLE

If Adam succeeds in getting that £5000 for the County he is right for the Chairmanship.... Blanche, Blanche, remember the fate of the coquette...:.. Tommy Pascoe loots well in that clerical coat Kate F. f of the Karaka, appeared greatly pleased with the netioe so kindly bestowed upon her in last week's Obsbrveb. She says she wants a young man and should like to be introduced to Jumbo Ted George looks 50 per cent. bettor since he sported a collar yir Calder made a. big hit by his millionaire and moleskin man worshipping 1 side Ly side. His motto is, evidently, " Progress 1' '..'.'... The next time Amy A. goes to the grocer's, she- need not talk so loudly about spoiling her figure. Billy T., of the Corner, was cutting the shine with two blooming; mademoiselles en Sunday evening... ...Willio W._ is looking rather tcciv-d lately ;he wants an introduction , to the red-haired lass of the Waiotahi Would Jimmy D. dare to hold his little finger up to Miss S. if Foppy were near ? The world was increased by another Day last week. Great rejoicing So the boys bother Miss' S. about seeing her home. Do they really, Mariar ? Perhaps you wouldn't mind if it was Jim? Little cocks shouldn't crow too loud. Eh Bass Has Teddy engaged that lady to watch ovor Hose during his absence. Are you afraid of losing her Ted?.... It tea, lasting disgrace to the rfiaineless brothers D. and J. AIcU., to refuse to cut the wood for their sister, perhaps, now that she has disfigured her face doing so, they will take pity on her and cut it Why don't Louie cultivate a few choicer expressions, for people passing her, than she has at present," What is that thing?" " Give it a name," "Cheese it," "Who let it out," "Give us a breeze," and such like remarks might suit a bar, but should be dropped when out walking I understand that Polly K. and Jack have agreed to runin double harness shortly. A great spree in preparation. The Bachelors' Club band were enjoying a rigorous practise last Thursday night. High operatic music only rehearsed A concert and dance is likely to take place at Tararu next week On account of. a visit from the Auckland Concert Company the Choral Society will not appear until the end of the m0nth...... Does the correspondent who said, last week, that the St George's Quadrille Assembly were iraking a mistake in the price of admission to their fancy dress ball know what he is writing about ? Surely not, or he would not have advised them to issue the tickets at the same price as for au evening dance. Again, as the price of the tickets was only settled on Friday, 3rd, and advertised on Monday, it was impossible he should know a week beforehand. Allow me to state that the price for catering alone for the ball is exactly the amount charged for admission to previous dance, that is 5s a c#uple. ; Therefore, to issue tickets at this price would leave to* committee to pay for the band, hall, advertising, tOh peuses of decorating, etc.. somewhere about £9, out of their own pockets, besides all the trouble. That is rather too good to expect. No, as it is a ball, and is to
