1) 'Kissing in Belfast' It is not generally known the strange difference
between adjacent localities, in the sweet art of kissing, remarks our
correspondent, who informs me he has just finished the districts.
Antrim Road ~ girls he says,
become rooted to the spot during the operation, and then say, "You ought
to be ashamed of yourself."
Ballymacarett ~ girls shut their eyes dreamily, contemplating how long
this bliss will last.
The Ormeau Road ~ girls when kissed, shyly suggest a walk as far as the
park.
Botanic Avenue ~ girls insist of being under no compliment, and return
every one with thanks.
Royal Avenue ~ girls cling tightly to the gentleman and sigh deeply,
saying "Oh! why did you do it?"
Postmark Belfast to Miss E. Rea,
