"Bab" writes In last Sundays edition of
the MORNING NEWS of the question that is
being discussed in England at present-"At
what age boy should be given night
key" This brought to my mind rather
a ludicrous story that is going the
rounds, about young Engllshman
who is at present in Savannah. This gentle-
man took rooms in one of our leading board
ing houses, and as is customary he was
given a night key, not thinking it neces-
sarv to explain the use of this article. One
day shortly afterwari the lady of the house
was looking out of the window and
saw this young man making all
sorts of efforts TO get in. He succeeded
eventually with the assistance OF the butler,
who open the door for him. She then In
ouired il he had lost the night key, and
Whv did he not open the door with it. lis
look of surprise was most amusing, and he
said. ssWhy-er-I-er- 1t was
era night key and could not open the
door in the day time" Perhaps this story
might assist "Bab" and her readers to de-
eide the question.
