ODDS AND ENDS
' Please excuse Mary from attending school this afternoon, as &Jie lisas an illustrated throat, with glaciers on both slides,' was a note sent the other day to an Auckland school teacher. Customer : 'So you seU these watches at a pound each ? It must cost that to make them.' Jeweller : 'It does.' Customer : ' Then how do you make any" money ?' Jeweller : ' Repairing: them.' ' Will you give me a kiss, Johnny ?' asked a spinster of a five-year-old. ' No, indeed,' replied Johnny. ' Wfry not ?' she asked. ' 'Cause if I did, the next thing you would be- asking me to marry you.' was the unexpected reply. A Canterbury schoolboy recently wrote the following essay on ' Friendship ' : 'A - friend is one who knows all about you and likes you all the same.' If there is anything more to be sa»d on the subject, we can|t imagine what it may be. ,
