A certain woman of fashion conspicuous in
the society OF city not a thousand miles from
Washington, whose intrmity of temper has
given rise to very interesting gossip OCCASION
ally, figures in quaint little story that is at
present going the rounds.
A short time ago she was entertaining at sup
per lady OF her Acquaintance. when it CHANGED
that there was placed upon the table small
pot of chocolate. The hostess OF the occasion
was very fond of the beverage in question. par
taking of it every evening of her life. Unfor-
tuiiately the servant had neglected to make
more than the usual quantity, which was Just
about sufficient for single cup.
Accordingly, when the guest was asked il she
would have some, she hositated a moment and
said no. Whereupon her entertainer flushed
with anger at the contretemps and, rising from
her seat, deliberately poured the contents Of
the chocolate pot out OF the window.
This was embarrassing for the lady enter
tanned to say the least Of it. OF course, how
ever, she pretended to take no notice, merely
glancing slyly at her host, who made the third
person at the repast, to see II he evinced any
consciousness respecting the proceeding. But
he only smiled slightly beneath his mustache
and made no remark.
Presently he asked her if she would have
some chicken salad, Of which q big dish full
made the principal feature among tho yiands.
Il thank you, no, she replied, merely be-
cause she had preference for something else
Immediately, as if it were quite a matter of
course. the host picked up the chicken salad
and threw it, dish and ali, out through the
window into the garden.
''Is's a way We have here" he remarked,
calmly.
Nobody said anything for quite five minutes
afterwsrd, but the extreme amiability ex-
hibited by the hostess for the rest OF the even
ing led the visitor to imagine that the lesson
thus given after the manner Of Petruchio was
not without O certain domestic usefulness.

Solid Business Mans Talk With q Tailor
Who Demanded Deposit.

"A SOFIA BUSINESS Mans Talk With . Tailor
Who Demanded Deposit.
From the Kansas City Times.
He was a substantial and Unknown business
man of the city, and when he walked into a
tailoring establishment on Main street the
other day he asked in q business-like way to
be shown some plain gray goods for busine IS
suit. The second piece shown him struck his
fancy and he asked the cost, told how he wanted
1t made, and had his measure taken. Then
handing the tailor his card he said:
'1our place was recommended to me by Mr..
-, who always deals here
After asking when he should call for Il he
started out.
I'VE always require . deposit Of 60" sus-
gested the tailor.
"A WHAT"
"A deposit of sIo. You know, sometimes
people forget to come after clothes and thew
have to be sent to the misfit man."
You mean you want me to pay SO DOWN."
Yes, slr; Its necessary in our business"
suppose you make mistake in the fitI''
"Oh, We always make them ut before they 70
out"
..Now see here. Mr.. Tailor, suppose you get
things mixed and cut out my cloth on the pat
tern Of that slsb-sided slope-shouldered,
handy legged dude you just measured, do You
suppose altering would do them any good?
Not much. Now you have had a square wnack
at me; you have gone all over my anstomy
with that string and triangle. You have
punched me in the side and poked around to
find out where the joints were, and IL you
haven't done it right don't expect 70 pay for
it. Hear? I'll tell you what IN do, though;
I'll give you $500 bond to be here on time
and take the clothes If they dit, leaving the
question of mt to Q committee of three selected
tailors. But you Will have TO pay the expenses
Or I'll do this: III pay you for the suit now
il you win give me q bond Of the same kind to
make the clothes fit or return the money with
interest But you must pay all expenses. II
you don't want those terms, partner YOU can
look me mp in Bradstreets and find out who 1
am and make the duds, or you can pay mo for
the trouble of submitting to this measuring
business. See? But you don't get any con-
tingent fee out Of me on q suit Of clothes.''
