Fire Caused by q Red Hot STOW,
HER FIRST OYSTERS.
A European Prima Donna's First Experience
With the Luscious Bivalyes-

A European Prima Donna's First Experience
With the Luscious Bivalyes.
From the Rambler.
A famous European prima donna, who
visited this country not many years ago, was
exceedingly quiet in her tastes and her man
ner of living, and on arriving on our shores
proceeded with her suite of one---her maid
TO one of the best and most exclusive hotels
of New York. With fancy for something
of feast after her operate performance, she
determined TO taste the New York oysters of
which she had heard so much in praise.
When the performance was over the song
stress returned at once to her apartments at
her hotel and summoned a servant in the
customary manner. The waiter soon ap-
peared, and some oysters were ordered.
Just here il may be said that the maid re-
tired at once 10 her own room with a head
ache, so the oysters We're ordered for only
one. "Uow many will you have2' asked
the waiter "How many?" said the lady, at
the same time thinking, II teel as if could
eat a thousand, am so hungry but only ad-
ded-with q manner indicating that she had
lived ON oysters all her lite--"you may
bring hundred y She noticed on replying
that surprised expression covered the face
of the servant, about which she only men,
tally questioned, and took up foreign paper
while the man was leaving the room. Some
time passed, the lady wondering at the delay
when a knock came at the door and i'll walked
HNe liicil DSdIlllS trays nan Illtu Will lldtcS
containing oysters on the halEshell, lemons,
crackers, water, napkins, etc. \ single
glance at the first tray explained To the lady
the surprise she had noticed on the face of
the servant who had answered her bell but
not a question was asked nor word spoken.
The plates, glasses, ETC., were arranged on
the various tables i'm the room, and the lady
was left alone with her feast She real
lied that that she had unwittingly
played a joke upon herself which She
determined no one in the hotel should know.
Her feast ended, and she wondered how in the
world she could dispose ofthe dozens of great
oysters left there untouched. In "A moment
more she opened the window, and, one by one
took the oysters at the end of her fork and
threw them out as far as she could, in all di-
rections, until each shell was emptied. An
other knock was heard, and answered. The
waters again entered found the lady alone at
the table, reading as before, and not a vestige
of an oyster in sight. The look of surprise
which met the lady as she glanced at the faces
OF the servants, was ample compensation in
every respect for the mistake she had made.
She has often told the story since, and assures
her friends she can never forget nor cease 10
enjoy her first feast of New FORK oysters
