A WITTY ANSWER.

Harper's Yong People:-Those whose
mission in life it is to entertain the
public are always pestered by frinds
and acquaintance for free seats at
their entertainments. There probably
never was a singer or an actor or a
pianist who was not bWed nearly to
death by these peoples many Of whom
had not the slightest claim to ask the
courtesy they demanded
a pianist who was pre-eminently sue
cessful in his day, and that day was
not so far back either, was Rubinstein,
who travelled nearly the whole world
over delighting people with his genius.
He. like all others, was very much an
noyed by requests for complimentary
tickets, but most Of the time he main
tanned his cOmposure even though
justly irruted. 1t is told of him that
Just before one of his recitals in Lon
don he was accosted by an old lady in
the entrance hall, and thus addressed;
"Oh, Mr.. Rubinstein, | am so glad to
see youl | have tried in vain to pur-
chase a ticket. Have you Il seat you
could let me have?"
Madam" said the great pianist,
there is but one seat at my disposal,
and that you are welcome to, if you
think fit to take it,"
"Oh, yes; and a thousand thanks!
Where is it?' was the excited reply.
AT the piano. smilingly replied
Rubinstein.
