A French, ’cellist appearing on the music halls weighs 21 stone. He plays his instrument in the conventional manner in spite of the ample chin accommodation.
An unusual coincidence led to a Christchurch woman recovering a brooch which she lost three years ago. Last week a friend told her of a pair of oqr-rings which, she had seen in the window of a city pawnshop. Her friend persuaded her to go to the shop and inspect them, and while admiring the ear-rings she recognised her lost jewellery, a gold cameo brooch. Confidently she went into the shop and told the proprietor that lie would find her name inscribed al the back of the brooch. It was as she said and the owner was happy to recover her properly on payment of 8s fid. the amount of the pledge.
