the acquisition of a small title bestowed by
royalty in the progress of some official
function One is told of the wife of city

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 noble family-called
upon the new knight to congratulate him
and was kept waiting in the drawing room
for some 20 minutes. Then the door was
flung open by powdered flunkey, who,
ushering in The fat and ford mistress Of
