MISS sEDLEY's LITTLE JOKE.

(From the New York sun }

A novel feature distinguished a birthday
dinner given to d. Ogden Fowler of New
Brighton, Staten Island. and seven other
men by Mrs Fowler Is days ago. Mrs.
Fowler employs a cook Of rare ability, so
she made no extra preparations for the
dinner except to engage Il man servant to
assist her regular maid in waiting on tho
table. This man sent word at the last
moment that he was sick and could not
keep the engagement In this emergency
Miss Eleanor SedleY of this city. who was
visiting the Fowlers at the time. offered
her services as second maid. She knew
all the men who were to be at the dinner
and to avoid any embarrassment she de-
cided to play the part of a coored woman
and not to reveal her identity until the
dinner was over. Mrs. Fowler consented
to the scheme after some hesitation. with
out informing even her husband of it,
Miss Sedley blaCkened her face and put
on an appropriate custume for her
PRESERVATION. and performed her du-
ties in AN uneXceptionable manner
During the dinner. however, some of the
guests who knew her best saw through
her disguise. and by the time coffee was
served her identity was apparent to sew
eral of them At length some one spoke
of it, and Miss Sedleys domestic duties
came to an abrupt end, as every one stood
up and drank her health.
The Fowlers are we'll known, as is also
Miss Sedley, in Staten Island, and the
story of the dinner has been gaining cur
rency. IN some versions of II it has been
forgotten that the people concerned were
all personal friends, and that the whole
affair was in the nature of a jest Mrs
