The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-08-13

In London society, says the New York
Tribune, float about many funny stories
of people whose heads are turned by the
acquisition of small title bestowed by
royalty in the progress Of some official
function Knighthood sometimes appears
to addle the brain of a worthy business
man as we'll as that of his wife. One OF
these funny stories is told of the wife of a
city magnate, who bought a country place
and was finally knighted. The lady was
of very humble origin, and her elevation
was too much for her. The clergyman of
the village a scion of a noble family,
called upon the new knight to congratu-
late him, and was kept waiting an the
drawing-room for some twenty minutes
Then the door was flung open by a pow
dered fiunlky who, ushering in the fatand
fiorid mistress of the house, bawled out
at the top Of his voice, "The Lady Jones -
Not long ago the wife of another new
made knight was greatly aggrieved at re-
ceiving, on the very day this dignity was
conferred, letter naturally enough ad-
dressed to Mrs. So-and SO" She pro-
ceeded to indite a scathing answer to her
innocent correspondent-an epistle writ
ten throughout in the third person, and
beginning Lady So-and-so begs to point
out that q mistake has been made in the
address of the letter sent to her Lady
So-and-so requests that in future" etc.
