i Polly cannot look upon a butterfly but with aversion. Mary and Aggie, of Newmarket, should not be 30 jealou3 of Susie. I Is it true that- "Daisy" and "Melotz" goto 1 tea-fights together ? Is it the fair Louie that is the attraction for M. at Ponsouby ? What was Ted B. doing so late on the mountain last Sunday night ? How nice Lena looked in Mrs O.s bonnet at I the Choral Hall on Tuesday. I 0)i dit, that Mr Ted 8., the coming artist, is engaged to Miss C, of Newton. Mr John M., of Nelson -street, did not succeed a3 a fisher, so he returned to his old billet . Is it true that the Fiji planter has. bought the wedding-ring and trousseau for Miss A. M. ? What made pretty Miss G\, of Parnell, get so. shy when she spoke to J. C. on Monday night ? What was Miss S. doing in the Onehunga Police Station ? Certainly not after the Rooster, Why does the coal proprietress wish to be called by her former name ? is the new one a (ejlinker ? Is it true that it is a case between Baptist Charlie B. and Miss McP. ? No wonder " Clare " looks so sad. Miss V. S., after a lengthened visit to the Thames, has returned to Auckland, and Willie is happy again. What attraction is there in Dublin - street, Ponsonby, for the two young men of Shelly Beach Road. Charlie, of Newmarket, should not allow that young lady in the shop to tie 1113 boot-lace. It did not look well. Why are they so particular about who goes to the Mount Eden dancing-class ? Is it the old hens or the young men ? How loving Maria and Dick looked in Kyber Pass the other night. The coat was not big enough to hide you, Dick. Would the Union-street children oblige the Ponsonby ladies by changing their corner from St. Thomas' Church yard. When is the happy event coming of between Mr S., of Mount Eden-road, and the beautiful twin sister, of the same place ? Egad ! didn't the diminutive fruiterer look gay on Sunday afternoon last waltzing up Queen-street with a large lily in his coat ? Are servants at a premium ? because Mrs H., of Upper Queen-street, generally does her washing (not on Sunday), oh ! dear no. What were all the young men running out of the Lome-street Hall on Thursday night for ? Had Mick anything to do with it ? Two notables were seen walking arm-in-arm in Queen-street the other day — Brown and Dunn. Was Brown done, or Dunn Brown ? What made the old maid (Nelly C.) get into such a state of trembling prior to visiting the country ? Was it an out-burst of passion ? How much beer does that little baker consume in the course of a month, at another person's expense ? The yeast business is not a bad game. Lizzie, of Richmond, looked very glum at the social on the 9th. It appears, on investigation, she was jealous of the wearer of the black velvet. The attendants of the G-.R. Bible-class were nearly sent off their chump with the music the young lady from Parnell gave them last Monday. i The land agents are on the look-out for Lord Roseberry, who is to combine business with ! pleasure by buying a block of land in New Zealand. Tommy deal*, what was the matter with you last Saturday night, that your young lady would not let you "go any further than half way up Shortland-street ? It was very ungrateful of that young man to give that Newton young lady the slip after asking her to go to the ball. Too bad to keep her waiting at the corner so long. When J. B. and Gk Me see those two young ladies home on Sunday night they should not speak so loud, for fear of being overheard at the firebell. Be careful next time. If that young man from Mount Eden, who sees dear little Annie, of Curran -street, home on Sunday evenings, does not mind, Jim aaya he will make it hot for him. Puff ! puff ! puff ! An apprentice in a most fashionable dressmaking and millinery establishnarm TTJ">harm.s'fr.i»Aflf.. WQlllr] likft to kDOW if

Aggie says she loves to hear the fire-bells ring, for then she's sui'e to see her man in blue. She lost her back hair in burrying-up at the last conflagration. Tarantara ! N , of Parnell, looked rather small when he had to apologise to the committee of the Parnell Social for trying to blacken a young lady's character of the same place. The Good Templar " boss hoodlum" has been refused admittance into at least one lodge, and it is hoped this will be a warning to his f oliowei'3 to conduct themselves properly. It was very ungallant of the young schoolmaster, who, by the way, prides himself upon his politeness, to refuse to accompany the fair Annie to the railway-station on Sunday. Miss H. must have been taking lessons in hugging from a Polar bear. When she grabbed her partner at the Bachelors' Ball-, people could hardly tell which was which, and which wasn't. Mary B>., of Ponsonby, near the three lamps, endeavours to pass her old Onehunga associates. She evidently forgets when she wore Nature's understandings (minus sole leather). Pumpkin Flat for (n)ever ! Whot is the reason that 8., of Ponsonby, always looks the other way when he meets that fair young lady ? Is it in consequence of the jar she gave him when he spoke to those two young ladies on the Ponsonby-road ? A particularly mean piece of business was enacted at a soiree given at Beresford -street. After the people went into the church, three men who had voluntered to put the things away and wash-up, were never asked if they had a mouth, but A., one of the principals, locked every kind of eatable away in a room. That tall, young, light-fingered " speeler," with a led flannel round his neck, and a surplus of nose and barefaced ness, looked rather "euchred" on Wednesday night last when he was detected with bis hand in another man's pocket in a certain hotel in Queen-street. He won't get off so easily next time ; ditto for his mate. The shoemaker that always attends places of entertainment when there is nothing to pay, and who has a happy knack when, laughing of shifting his moustache higher than it ought to be, thereby showing his not over-clean, ivories, is likely to get a " nasty jar" if he persists in his low manoeuvres People have not forgotten his little Tauranga escapade, if he himself has. Nuff sed !
