ing amusing story: She had a col
orcd man in her employ who is some
what of a dandy. and a devoted al
mirer of all the maidens. old and
Young. of his own sable persuasion
lie came to his mistress one day and
asked her, with great difidence, if she
would kindly write a short note for
him. 1t was OF the first Importance
that this note should be sent without
delay. and that was why he made 50
bold as TO ask her to write for him.
The lady politely complied. THIS note
was TO Miss Pearl Butting. stating that
he would call for her at $50 o'clock
10 'scort her to lodge nleetin'."
When this much was written the
lady asked if there was ANYTHING else
he wished to have added.
lie replied: "Oh. yes. mann. Say
Please 'scusc bad writin'."
To say that the lady was amazed at
this mndescrved affront would be put
ting it mildly: but when she looked
up and saw the earnest face before
her il required her best efforts to re-
press her desire to scream with laugh
ter. However, she added the i'm
pOrtant postscript in fine Spencerian
chirography and finished the note.
She supposes that the letters received
by her man servant invariably contain
this postscript, and that he regarded
its omission from his note as an un-
pardonable breach of sable etiquette
