Ohl but it was sudden, You know better, 'Bob," I am not deceptive, I mean all I say, and you know that if you ask me I Will not deny it, I might say "spanking" is not in my line, and I never intend to have anything to do with anyona wbo has. Aboutthe flirting, or "sparking" as you call it, I will just let Morrie have my opinion. There are two couples, one on the let and one on the 2nd, though the former couple is not a couple till you join Turnberry, and no young fonts in Morris can sot so °'sweet" or look so lovely, It makes ane sometime mad at our boys be. cause they do not act a little better the part of a gallant, I do not think I heard your name mentioned in connection with Mr. Pattison's sale, Perhaps you do not attend sales, your business engagements are mush too pressing. Mr. Pattison and family is about to leave ue, and not a Bret liner bat will be very sorry to hear of their departure. Often will I stop in my work to think of the many pleasant hours I have spent beneath their hospitable roof. I am sure, when I say Morris wishes them success, happiness, a comfortable house and good neighbors, that not one dissenting voice will be heard. Another, which I would rather be excused from passing remarks about, has gone west. I do not say this because I do not admire Thomas Mothers, but be- cause I do not wish to make any jealous feelings. Allow me, —, however, to wish him a pleasant trip and a safe and speedy return. Poor Frank ltas come home. I am sorry to hear he is laid up, for he is a very cleat little fellow. I hope he will be around again before I next go to see him. Perhaps he will be able to go for a walk.
