Rememhering Names.

There is a Boston society woman
who cannot remember names, neither
can her daughter. One day they met a
Mrs Howe. and afterward the daugh-
ter remarked: "Howe invented the
sewing machine didn't he? Well, just
think of machines and we will be sure
TO get her name" The two ladies went
10 tea few days afterward, and Mrs.
Howe was there. Up sailed the moth
er with her sweetest smile and ex-
claimed: my dear Mrs Singer, how
delighted am TO see you again." Soon
afterward the daughter appeared, and,
with equal charm of manner, said: "My
dear Mrs. Wilcox. how are you?"
