PARTLY CLEARED UP

Richard Brinsley Sheridan. the bril- liant orator and dramatist and auda- cious manager, was what the beaks of Scotland Yard would call a doWny cove, says an exchange. He was dim ing at friends house one evening and found himself much beset by one of his fellow diners of the giddy old maid brand.
 "Ah. my dear MT Sheridan" she simpered, T should so love to take a walk out with you this evening""
 The willy Sheridan was startled at the prospect. "oh. dear" he replied in a tone of we'll feigned regret, my dear Lady Blank, it's raining cats and dogs. I'm afraid I shall have to forego the pleasure until it clears off"
 Fifteen minutes later the alert spin- ster, who did not repose entire trust in Sheridan's sincerity, detected him in the act of sneaking out through a side door.
 "Oh, MT. Sheridan!' she exclaimed, "has 1t really cleared up?"
 Y-y-yes-n- -no-that-is-it has cleared up enough for one, but not enough for two.''
