A BLUNDER AND IT'S REWARD.

During his first visit to Paris, N. La.
sale. . distinguished German. presented
himself at the house Of a well known
lady, to whom he had sent letters Of
introduction in advance. When the
servant opered the door ard received
his card she conducted bim ilte the
boadoir and told him to be seated, say.
ing: MADAME will come Immediately"
Presently the lady entered. She was
in deshsbille and her feet were bare,
covered only with looe slippers. She
bowed carelessly aud said: "Ah, there
you are; good morning"
She threw herself on sofa, let fall .
slipper and reached out to Lasslle her
very pretty foot.
Lasalle was naturally completely as
founded, but he remembered that at bis
homo in Germany it was the custom
sometimes to kiss lsdy's hand, and he
supposed it Was the Paris mode to kiss
her foot. Therefore he did not hssitate
to imprint kiss upon the fascinating
foot 90 near him. but he could not avoid
saying: Il thank you, madame, for this
new mode Of making . lady's acquain-
tance. 1t 10 much better and certainly
moro generous than kissing the hand"
Tho lady jumped up, highly indig-
nant. "Who are you, sir, and what do
you meant"
He gave bis name.
"You are not, then, . corn doctor ?"
II an charmed to say, madame, that
I am not"
"But you sent me the corn doctors
card"
It was true. Lasslle in going out
that morning had picked up the. card of
corn doctor from his bureau and put
it in his pocket. This, without glanc
ing ct he had given to the servant. who
had given IL to her mistress. There
was nothieg to do but laugh over the
joke.
