GISBORNE TWADDLE.

Didn't the lawyer's cousin and the music "teacher enjoy their riclo on Saturday, in company ■with the accountant-in-chief of that pawn shop, . said to be so cJoscly allied to a certain big Bank ! Was this country rirto the outcome of the flirtations at the ball the previous evening ? Which of the two are you spooning on, Mr P? Glyn is too old a bird to be caught by chaff. '-Aft**'. 1 all, Marlborough mutton and Oamaru potatoes -would not go badly. If you continue to yjsit your friend at his new lodging so often, old fStill watei's, the tall Southern beauty will hook > %ss&• Beware of husband-hunters ! There is not fe " very great danger in your case, because still ■waters run deep. If you are matrimonially inclined, you hold in your hand the trump card. This is only a hint en passant The medico's •wife has been begging sturdily for littlo odds and ends wherewith to get up the feast for the Hospital Ball. Has it over boon mooted that Mr ' Salts-and-sonna ought to got a better salary? Gisborno " quality," lawyers' clerks, civil servants, bank clerks, their sisters, cousins, and aunts, hoary-headed native interpreters (looked after by their spouses, and splendid hands at the supper- ■ table), mustered in strong force at the " ice cream " dance on Friday night. A nice " old cup of tea" composed the elite of Gisborno There are no would-be aristocrats here, who draw pound cheques to pay for shilling shouts to get 19s chango, and, of course, .Mr Public-house is saved the annoyance of ever receiving any choquos back from the bank marked " .N.S.P." No Poverty Bay paper is as good as the brass. Ask Dan, ask Diebson. ask Joyce, ask even S.M. ; none of those gentlemen over for a moment question the bona fides of tho paper currency. It is always , "good alike." How the girls stand and admrro tho picture of Freddy D., as photographed by-s'Mrown. It looks quite as sedate- as tho original when ho is parading the well-worn footpath on tho cent, per cent, racket. What a lot underlies that arch smile! Happy Fred! The mxinkiml elections resulted in 'the return of ' Lawyer Kenny, Kuockemdown Smith, and Boniface Joyce.

remove from Zealandia's sable aristocracy ? This snob-foolery is simply disgusting The nephew of Mr W. L. Eees, Mr G-. V. Day, has been and gone and done it at last. I thought the hap]?y ©vent was near by, his presence so frequently in the vicinity of the Bank of N.Z. The bride is Miss Eveline White, of Invorcargill, who for some time past has been the guest, associate, and promenade companion of Mrs Matthews, of the Bank. The ceremony was pei'formed by the Rev. W. Cocks, the parson of the parish, and was witnessed by a goodly concourse of "ladies, tho young ones in tho congregation wishing it had been their turn, and the old ones regretting it was not tlioir turn over again. The bridesmaids were the Misses Rees(3) and Miss Matthews. In the evening there was 'high jinks at Te Hapara, the residence of Mr W. L. Roes ; there was music, and there was dancing. As young Day is a jovial young fellow the Observer man wishes tho newly-wedded pair long lifo, happiness, and, in the fulness of time, a few more gleams of — JDaylight in tho world.
