mistress with Sweetest persuasive
kisses" No mother kisses her baby rs she
hugs it to her bosom. Parting husband
presses the hand of his wife and bends his
forehead to the mats in sad farewell Our
salutations run through the crescendo of
bow, handshake, kiss and kiss. l can't ex-

Ouida Is Not Polite.


Ouida spends much time at the Lang
ham when she is in London. Not long
since young American girl, Miss W, O.
New York, called upon her at the hotel
with u letter 81 introduction. After wait
ing some time IL strangely dressed figure
rushed into the room, Every color of tho
rainbow appeared in her costume, and her
head was decorated with circlet of many
eolaTcd bright ribbons. This bizarre
creature stalked up to our American girl,
and in very brusque manner said: "Do
you want TO see mef" ~ have o letter OF
introduction to'you." you are an Ameri-

ouida's polite reply. "And / know you
to be a circus rider from your outlandish

just Leaked Out.

\ laughable story has just come to ouI
ears. The other evening one of our bibu-
lous friends was returning home rather late
assisted by some boon companions. Upon
reaching his home he insisted upon their
coming in, but they, better aware than he
of their demoralized condition, demurred,
saying that his wife might object to his
entertaining company at so late an hour
ooh, hang my wifel | am Cesar here,
boys. Come in; come in.
The argument was growing interesting
when clear voice called down from an
upper window:
Gentlemen, you can leave Cesar OF

They were only too glad to leave him
in his glory. < EmlentoR NerS.)
