"TOO HAFFABLE."
At a meeting addressed by Mr Deakin in Melbourne recently a lady in the ball was persistent in jumping to her feet and gesticulating vigorously. What she wanted could not be distinctly heard. Towards the close of the meeting the chairman said that if she desired to ask a question now was ' her opportunity. "I don't want to 1 ask any question," she retorted. "I I just want to bet the candidate a new ( bat that Billy Maloney will beat him jby two to one." There had been a ! number of interruptions at the close !of his speech, but Mr Deakin remarked that he would not carry away any anxiety or enmities from the meeting. /'That's the worst of you, Alfred," called out a man at the back, "you're too haffable."
