I | ft JB JL jsa ULfl HSgpUWfS W. K. (Ellerslie).-—Sorry, but all unSuceegsftil ' essays J 5 were consigned to the W.P.B. ~ . W.K. (?) Wellington.—What do you expect from the calumniator of dead nuns? % Surely nofeody : tateKJ that creature seriously. The falsehood that Map. ~ shal Foch is falPresbyterian is a ? fair sample pf the |- i? accuracy and 1 veracity of P.P.A. ranters. PresbyL terian elders do not make visits to the ’Blessed Sacrament. ; But the statement is good enough , for the half-witted persons who pay that particular piper for his dirty work. ’ They get what they want,. . even if no decent people want it. _ ~. .

The reason we ; do' not is that even this Government of ours" could hardly" . be so stupid -fas not' to recognise that every sane man blames them and nobody else for their bungling.

'"Critic.'"—What are you driving at? We know no-. thing 1 about ''family seals.'' It is likely that the story about a certain gentleman rushing far. : his better half's sealskins when the matter was mentioned is a canard. But you are right: Among >•:•: Italians at;'.: attempt to prolong "the hose' is""re- ;-; garded proper gesture. We did not hear how he liked the French dishes or how. he got on with the limacons, colimacons, and escargots. We may yet ' get. some hints on French cooking if we . get .nothing else for our money.
