MT. Grant aud Mrs. bradley Martin.
From The Washington Post.
Not so very long ago, according to a story
that reaches us by way of san Francisco,
in-law of real British earl, were patronizing
Paris While there, and while still undecided
as to whether they would buy an English
or a French family, they found themselves in
the same hotel with a Mr.. Grant-Mr. George
de Forest Grant, Of the United States-Who,
it appears, was occupying room which they
wanted to add to their suite. Taking it for
granted that any American OF ordinary intel
lgence must have heard of the Bradoy-AIar-
tins, and assuming that any one who had
heard of them would hasten to do them rev.
ercnce Mrs. Bradley Martin surprised Mr..
George de Forest Grant one fine morning with
the following note
Mrs Bradley Martin presents her complI-
ments to George de Forest Grant, and begs
10 know whether he would surrender his
frst-hoor apartments for the use of her
niece"
George de Forest received this august man
date very early, after a particularly hard
night with the boys. He was sleepy, he had
that tired feeling, he took gloomy views Of
life, and he regarded Mrs. Bradley Martin
with callous Indifference SO he replied in
this rreverent way:
George de Forest Grant presents his COM
piments to Mrs BradleyMartin, and desires
to know whether her niece drinks"
Indignant at this ribald fling, but still in
stinct with majesty, Mrs. Bradley-AIartin an-
swcred:
Mrs. Bradley-Martin is much surprised at
the extraordinary question put to her by
George de Forest Grant, but bcgs sA assure
him most cmphatically that her niece does
not drink"
Upon which Mr.. George de Forest Grant
closed the incident, as we say in diplomatic
circles, with these hippant but expressive
words:
George de Forest Grant very much regrets
that he cannot give up his first-fl apart
mtnts to Mrs Bradley Martins niece, for he
is convinced that as that young lady does not
drink it is very much easier for her to get
unstairs than it is for Mr.. Grant,
1t is not of record that Mr., George de Forest
Grant was invited to witness the grating of
tho Rradley- Martin bud in the Craven stock
There is a decn general impression that the
acquaintance pefished of neglect George now
Sita IN alone with his dark brown taste
and Mrs Bradley Martin, when she bankers
for particular apartment, deals directly with
tho urbane and accommodating clerk.
