He Misunderstood Her.

A little incident that happened not
long since in Harmanus Blocker hall
caused deal of smiling among those
in the immediate vicinity. A deaf old
gentleman, well known and much re-
spected in all circles in the city. and n
young lady were the actors. The two
were engaged in sort of conversation
The young lady would say things two
or three times to the old gentleman,
who would at last hear and answer
One time the young lady. while they
were talking about fruit and their
likes and dislikes, said to the old gem
tleman in an ordinary tone: "Do you
like bananas?" The old gentleman
didn't catch it, SO he smiled and said:
"What" The young lady repeated
her question in slightly louder tone,
but still the old gentleman didn't un.
derstand. The young lady then bent
over close to the ear of the old gentle
man and said in tone that could have
been heard four rows away: do you
like bananasp" The old gentleman
seemed to understand and yet WAS
surprised. He in turn bent over
toward the young lady and said to her
in quite loud tone: mo. like the
oldfashioned night shirt best" A
quiet litter went around among those
in the immediate vicinity. The young
lady blushed furiously at the idea
that she had been understood AS ask

Little MIR. Schneider was one of those
fortunate mortals whose lot appears
and may well appear, enviable to the
rest of humanity His wealth was
practically boundless; he had no estates,
no relations, no duties, or worries, or
responsibilities Of any kind; and if he
had also no mentionable ancestors that
Is but very small misfortune in the
days in which we live. Nevertheless, like
ninety nine-hundredths of our perverse
! race, he was not satisfied. and the reason
Of his dissatisfaction was that, in spite
Of all his lavish expenditure. he had not
yet succeeded in taking the society Of
the British metropolis by storm
This feat he was passionately, patheti-
cally DESTROYS of accomplishing, and
there Is no saying what price he would
have considered too heavy to pay for the
privilege Of admission into those inner
circles on the edge of which he lowered
with longing. wistful eyes His ambi-
ton was not very exalted nor very
sensible one, but at least it was harm
less; and. in truth, little Mr.. Schneider
was harmless little man, though, Of
course, he would not have liked to be so
described. His impression of himself
was that he was terrible fellow, and
that the pace at which he lived was
enough to take anybody's breath away.
The pace at which he drove was GER
tainly calculated to produce that effect
upon those who sat behind him; but this
was because he had not the slightest
control over his horses and was blessed
with the sublime courage of ignorance
1t is impossible to say how he man
aged to get his coach in and out of the
park and through the crowded streets of
London without killing himself and his
| freight; probably he might have been
less lucky on u stretch of country road.
That he always found plenty of people
willing to accompany him on these peril
Gus excursions only shows what risks the
impecunious Briton will face unflinch-
ingly. At race meetings Mr.. Schneider's
round, rosy face had latterly become OBJ
served by all observers. not so much on
account of the animals he owned, al
though he always had few in training,
as Of the prodigious bets with which he
alternately delighted and exasperated
the bookmakers.
That indolent cynic, Lord Guise, took
him up. thinking that some amusement
might be got out of him Lord Guise
valued London society about as much as
everybody values what is to be had for
the asking He knew. what many less
highly placed individuals have discov-
cred. that this society is not composed
Of specially agreeable or talented or even
well bred units. and that, unlike that Of
most European capitals, its doors will
always yield to the pressure of golden
key He himself. therefore, did not
care to figure prominently at its gather
ings; but he was willing enough to fit
little Schneider's golden latchkey into
the lock for him Few things tickled
him more than to watch the dealings Of
nobly born ladies with rich parvenus
The ladies. he had noticed. almost in
variably have to swallow more dirt
than the parvenus. and if they make
ugly faces over it. as they sometimes do
that is great fun

Golden Rules for Successful Dinners.

a well-known lady in London some
years ago where eighteen guests com,
prised a perfectly representative assem-

politics, art, science and literature. A
Prime Minister, two Cabinet Ministers,

posed a dinner, 4 most appreClative
member of which said was the dulles
he ever remembered. On the Other
hand, another hostess declares that hel
pleasantest dinners are those to which
she asks all the "bores," for no one
ever discovered why they were all in
vited to meet each other, and none be
ing e-eminently brilliant, no one
found himself duler than his neighbor.
But there is nothing more uncertain
than the success or failure of a dinner,
for il depends on variety of small
things, any of which help in either way.
There are one or two golden rules fol-
London dinners which no one can ever
do wrong in following. The dinner
should be unambitious and well served
Everything should be hot. There
should not be too much to eat, and nc
dinner should last over an hour and il;
half or two hours. Very few people
dine out for the sake of getting gooc
food only. There are some houses
where one expects, and where one gets
a dinner to dream of, but such house.
are few and the ordinary hostess SHOULD
content herself by feeling sure tina
when her guests leave they carry away
the conviction that they have had al
evening in which no particular dish o
wine or person has made a more lasting
impression on them than the fact tina
they have passed a more than usually
pleasant evening.
