stupidity Mixed With .CareIessness That
brought Identification 10 q Lovely Woman.
Talk of a Comedy Of Errors said
woman Of society the other day. Il
had an experience lately that might
have been called by TINT llume, although
it was anything but q comedy to poor
me. You know that / am rather III old
fashioned hOuselJeeper and pride myself
on my cake, which make myself from
time TO time and of which, when it
turns out particularly well, like to
send specimen to some friend. So the
other day, when / had very good luck
witha new recipe, j arranged my best
looking cake, all daintily frosted, in u
cardboard box, and telling my maid TO
bid the Oeachman take it to Mrs. s.,
with my card, went out to do some
shopping.
- tDitl you send the. caize?' j asked on
my return oh, ma am, exclaimed the
Abigail, James made such mistake
l told him to take the box III the hall.
and when came down stairs l found
he had taken the big case that you
brought home yesterday.
well, Of course it was a piece Of
stupidity, but did not really mind, for
the case contained Il fine copy Of an an
tique flying Victory, and as Mrs. S. is
woman Of rare appreciation l felt
really pleased that she should have it,
and that l, for my part, should have tine
credit of remembering her tastes and
- rR.a,F +
Ceptable present But l was not 50 well
pleased when Mary, the overzeal0us,
continued, So, as soon as l found out,
ma am what he had done, ! told him
to 60 straight back and say that it was
Il mistake and that You would like tho
case back, ma am!
"Hou may imagine how l felt Il
was then too late to do anything, but
all night the affair weighed ON my mind
like all incubus, and the very next
morning l wrote Airs. S. long explain
atory note, apoloEizing for the double
mistake Of man and maid and trying to
explain how the confusion had arisen
1t sounded awkwartlly enough, but it
was the beet ! could DO, SOL sent it off
MAAI LIZ Gt4AGr WHICH Ill lllG meanwhile
had been left waiting in the hall When
the man came back, asked him what
he had done with the case. What case
he said stupidity. Why, the case MARY
told you to fetch back from Mrs. S. 5.
'Shure, an niver got it back at all, =
was his most unexpected answer, which
put the finishing touch to the altogether
trying situation. for if had never writ
ten my note of explanation it would
have been all right. When, that after
noon, the eXPressmm brought back the
unfortunate Victory, together with a
polite but puzzled note from Mrs. S. re
turning the unluclsy present (which ]
afterward learned through q mutual

pleasure and given a conspicuous place
