ladies of different nationalitics TO n
large semi-public dinner, and not only
inviting them. but themselves sitting

The dinner was lately held in the

were invited, together with a certain
number of missionary ladies and few
others. There was a goodly gathering
of Chinese ladies, with little sprink-

though when dinner was announced a
certain number of gentlemen, kindly

out: Foreign ladies to this side, be-
cause il is warmer." yet Chinese and
European ladies sat down fairly mixed.

banquet, three especially noticeable in

their pipes for them. etc. otherwise
the dinner was entirely served by men.
For hundreds of years now the Chi

their neglect and suppression no impair

Her Money In a Letter Box.

The Brooklyn postmaster was in q rem
iniscent mood and went on to relate an
incident illustrating another kind Of care
lessncss. Not long before n woman had
entered his Office one forenoon in u state OF
considerable excitement. She said that, to
the best of her knowledge and belief, she
had put roll Of bills, amounting to $3.50,
in letter box on Fulton street in the be-
lief that she was posting letter. She had
no recollection of what she had done, but,
after going nearly block from the box,
she found the letter she had intended to
post in her hand and the roll of bills was
gone. The natural Inference was that, in
fit of abstraction, she had dropped the
bills in the box. There was nothing to be
done until the next collection from that
route came in, and the woman waited with
i'll concealed impaticnce. The mail matter
from the box in question was taken by
one collector, and by him handed to anoth-
err TO bring to the main office. In due tim
the collections arrived and when looked
over the missing roll of money was found
all right.
