Presently he stood upon the crowded

1t was evident that something had
gone wrong with an oldish man who

then began to unburden himself by say

be told that it was not even a good coun-

stranger:

A Feat In Begging.

A man named Bailey, who was de-
scribed at Lambeth police court as
"a most plausible beggar," was given
seven days hard labor for soliciting
aims from the public. His zeal for
collecting money in this way was in
no way damped by his apprehension,
for a police officer remarked to the
magistrate, while waiting to come
before the court he collected 3 shil-
lings from his fellow prisoners"

Calling on Friends Guests.

OF course in inquiring for a friend
who is staying with a stranger to the
caller it is always proper to ask for
the hostess and quite inadmissible not
to do SO. But the said hostess should
have a little consideration, too, and
not intrude her society upon the
caller beyond the limits of mere po-
likeness. 1t is egregiously selfish OF
her to monopolize the call herself or
never to give the two friends an OPP
portunity for a ~tete-a-tete. And this
lack of d~elicacy on the part OF one
entertaining a visitor is n OF the
commonest forms Of thoughtlessness.
