The Fate OF @ Young Society Man Whq
Gave Way to Curiosity.
The curiosity of n Pittsburg society
goung man prompted him to imper
senate a waiter at private dinner
hotel recently. The CURIOUS young
man was well acquainted with the
men who were giving the dinner. and
upon seeing the preparations for q
royal feast.,was anxious to see who
the lady guests might be. He thought
he'd have joke, SO he persuaded the
proprietor to allow him to act as
waiter to the party. After donning
the usual attire Of a table servant he
entered the room carrying bottle oJ
wine in one hand and a napkin thrown
over his arm. He was recog-
nized by his friends. but no sign
Of recognition passed He Inn
mediately, without the least
expression on his face, began to serve
the. fluid In filing one OF the hosts
glasses he split some wine on the
table. This caused an apparent burst
of anger from the gentleman at the
head of the merry board He arose
and, with language none to mild, com
menced to abuse the shamming waiter
for his carelessness, imputing drunk
enness- The waiter never smiled, and
all the while the ladies were becom-
ing more and more terrified at the im-
pending fight Finally. amid the
shrieks of the fair ones, the host took
the counterfeit by the back Of the col
lar. causing him to make an ignomin-
ious exit with the assistance of a boot.
The men then sat down and had a
good laugh, and an explanation soon
quleted the terrified guests =.
