PERSONAL

Did T.W., of Newton, don the blue to please Miss H.C. ? "Why does J. keep IDite out so late? Maggie will be going for her. What were M. B. and M. Gr. , of Parnell, doing at the Bail way Band practice? Is the medico's son the attraction for Miss H. in the theatre choir of a Sunday evening? HW sad Luc a' looked without Walter in the Domain on P-t. Patrick's Day. Anxious inquiries are being made about a young- man in the ship chandlery line. Ask Lizzie where George was on St. Patrick's Day. Was lie making mud pies? What a spoon Fred was having with Ada on the return trip of the Waikato excursion. Is it Mary, Koran, or the new hall ..door that attracts the dudes to the grocer's shop in Parnell? The Ponsonby masher . looks very pale since Joe is engaged to the butcher. Arthur, don't fret so. Did Alice enjoy the oyster that thepaiuter so kindly cooked for her at St. Helliers on. Tuesday last ? lias the newly-married E., of Parnell, cut his wife's finger nails yet ? If not he had better beware. Frank, of Ponsonby, is flirting very much since Annie is away. Oh, Frank, it is very naughty of you ! Those moonlight peregrinations of the Jersey Lily and her lover must be very pleasant. That young lady at whom A., of the postoffice, makes eyes, has already three strings to her bow. It looks sad to see Miss Kay's young- man yawning in the street instead of beingadmitted to the house. What made Frank show off with the dog before those young ladies at Shelly Beach on Sunday afternoon ? How is Miss H., of Matamata, enjoying her holiday in town. She must feel lonely after leaving (1 him " behind. How rude of H. G. to stop that young lady with the two gentlemen on Saturday night. Harry, were you jealous ? Who was the Queen-street confectioner that was waiting at the top of Union-street on Sunday night for the two Newton barmaids. Why doesn't the sergeant call at the great dressmaking establishment, Queen-street, on Saturday afternoon, and other evenings during the week ? That young man at Mount Eden should be aware that his oseulatory exercises with, Lizzie at the garden gate are not unobserved by the neighbours. Ask the " crack-team " from Mount Eden about the showing up they got from the National on Saturday ? Only by 3 wickets and 133 runs ! That stoker at the Uuion Sash and Door is a great lady-killer. Likewise champion euchre player, willing to play any man in the Southern Hemisphere for a fiver. What Resident Magistrate in the North spends three hours a day in a Licensed Interpreter's office on land business ? Is an B.M. required to pass County works? How unfortunate that Welsh girl from Shelly Beach direction was on St. Patrick's day. Out of fifteen devoted admirers she could only raise one escort in the Domain. Margaret did not know someone saw her stealing the cake for the masher on Monday night, when they were cutting up for the feast. Timothy Thomas is going to tell ma. What was the young tally man of a certain draper shop in Hobson-street doing in One- . hunga with a bottle of b — under his arm, last Thursday. Eh, mon ! there might be a row. Bad taste (not to say manners) of that young gentleman (?) on the cemetery bridge, one one Sunday night recently, strikiug matches so as to stare at the ladies passing. Name next time. That prince of gaspipes, W. J., made a fine show of himself in the obstace race, on * St. Patrick's Day, after all his tall talk. Stick to dough punching, Billy, you are not cut out for running. Is it true that Bob wants the City Council to abolish, all private traffic between Onehunga and Auckland, so that everybody must travel by 'bus ? Don't you wish you may get it, old fellow ? That masher who goes to the Mount Albert Church, and is constantly scribblinghieroglyphics on copy slips, is not, we might remark, the Observer correspondent. It is a love of notice that ails him and not the force of duty. The Auckland City Guards' "fat boy" was dreadfully prominent on Monday night, . at the volunteer dinner. He ate enough for four men, drank at least three bottles of *h:«.t luimculoua wine, besides sundry goes n i brandy, beer, &c. He got so uproarious during tbo evening that decent people could n ot hear themselves speak. ;
