to the Theater.
A Washington letter to the Detroit Free
Press says: A new chief has been appointed
to one of the departments, and he is not
well, not exactly-what might be termed a
gentleman, so far as the little punctilios of
society are concerned. The office has a lady
who acts as corresponding clerk at salary
of 81, 800 year. Naturally. she is anxious
to retain her place, and sle paid attention
to the lightest command OF the new chief
She had boon in the habit of writing re
letters herself, but the new head of the de-
partment wrote his own letters and handed
them to her to sign and mail. They were
ill-spelled and badly constructed as to
grammar, ana the corresponding clerk did
not propose to send them out as her own
SO she wrote dictated" over each one. The
chief saw this and inquired into its mean
ing. Whether he grasped it or no., he was
SO well pleased with the word chat he wrote
it himself over all his letters before handing
them to his amazed clerk. Then he said to
her one day:
"What is the matter with your coming
away to the theater to-nlght"
she stammered out something about a
previous engagement and he told her the
next night would do as we'll. Then she
went home, consulted with her family and,
fearful of losing the fat salary, conclude /
to accept.
During the entire first act she narrowed
her soul trying to imagine what she should
talk about between the acts. But the mo-
ment the curtain fell Mr.. Chief took a
newspaper out of his pocket and devoted
himself to it until the curtain rose. And
this he repeated between every act The
duty he had imposed on himself proved as
great bore to MIN as it did to her. He
has never troubled her since.
