TWO ABSENTMINDED INDIVIDUALS.
One Forgot His Invitation, and the Other
Forgot His Wife.

IoTSOt LID w iASs
An absentminded person can spread
chaos all around, but when two absent
minded people try to work together may
heaven help the poor creatures upon whom
the consequences fall. A prominent lawyer
from an inland city met in London dis
tinguished British author, whom he in
vited to visit him during tour of Amer
lea, already planned. The lawyer came
back homo and shortly forgot all about
his English friend and his own imitation,
but was reminded Of both, in good time,
by "a letter announcing the date of the ceie-
brated Briton's arrival. This too, he for
90: in "a few minutes, and when the ap
pointed day came it found him living in
shut up house getting his meals where he
could, while his wife made an extended
,ound of visits among her relatives.
When the distinguished visitor drove up
to the house on the evening of! the day set
In his letter he met single servant, VINO
cxplained that the master was at club
meeting, over two miles away, and would
be back about midnight. Sending his
wife. who was tired and i'll, back to the
railway station, the Englishman started
in pursuit of his delinquent hest. The
latter was found with a company of pleas
ant people, to whom the great author was
promptly introduced, and the two absent
minded friends finished up the evening at
the club meeting, forgetting all about
their lack of suitable quarters for the night
and poor Mrs. Distinguished Author SIT
ting in the railway station.
When the meeting broke up in the small
hours, they recalled these awkward clr-
cumstances and rescued the weary woman,
whose comments upon the situation did
not reach me. Then they drove to the
homo of one Of the lawyers relatives, who
kindly got them all to bed before dawn

JaDanese Maidservants,

Now the Chinese or japanese maidScrv-
ant is becoming fashionable on account of
her picturesque possibilities. If she wears
her native dress, she is about as attractive
as a 81, 500 vase or rare piece of bric-a-
brac. Visitors like to look at her, and con-
sequently the prcttier and more graceful
the girl the higher wages she can com
mand Long, narrow eyes, thin, black
brows and a clear complexion are the
things desired. An oriental girls hair is
always shiny and well arranged, and cv
erything about her is invariably neat. A
part of her duties is attendance at the
door. This is where the spectacular fea-
ture counts. After tho ring of the electric
bell has died away there is pattering of
slippered feet or the clack of little Japa-
nese wooden stills, and the door swings
back, revealing q small, brilliant figure,
with a card tray concealed in the depths of
her sleeve or kimono. 1t is ell very fetch
ing.
Another function that the maiden from
over the seas is expected to perform is serv-
ing s O'Clock tea. This is peculiarly ap
propriate and lends an aroma to the bev-
erage. 1t ne. II seems the same afterward,
when n Gretchen, with face like plat
ter, or a Iib2rnian carries the tray. The
fad started in New York and has natural
ly reached its height in San Francisco,
where the missions are not able to supply
the people who call upon them. The mis-
sions, in fact, require references before
they will allow their girls to go out.
There is too much trouble in rescuing
them to have them slip back again, as
they are quite likely to do if they arc not
carefully watched 1t will not do to give
them the liberties that other serving maids
have, for they are like wax in tho hands
of designing peoplc.-New York Core
