An Impertinent Fellow.
from the London Times.J


The reform of the festive table has ex-
tended to the ordinary meal of the we'll
to-do household, and in still greater
degree to the outer circle of bachelors
and other people, compelled to ask them
selves late in the day, "Where shall 1
dine 90 They can get at hundred
places within reach, for IS. dinner
which hall acentury ago would have left
little change out of sovereign, and
would not have been so good. So little
was the class considered, and so little
charity had the world for the class that
could not begin charity at home, that
wherever they went they found them
selves penned off from the civilized world
by partitions too high to be looked over.
For years and years people went to the
low, dark, stutfy coffee room of hotel
or ga la mode beef" shop and devoured
their solitary meal without seeing or
hearing their neighbors. A famous Lon
don physician used to relate that he had
long gone almost daily to the "Shades :"
near London bridge, to rest awhile and
drink glass of wine from the wood. For
many years he had taken it as matter
of course that he must not intrude on
the privacy of the gentleman who, as it
happened, invariably selected the next
stall. But sympathy itself suggested a
certain curiosity. One day the warmth
of the weather and the generosity of the
liquor broke the long spell, and, raising
his voice, he said, "Sir, I have had the
pleasure of taking my wine next to you
