AN ANECOOTE or MElLhAC.

How He Chose an Heir ut 4 Party
Given by Nine. Poszi.
To finish with an anecdote about
Mcilhac. Two years ago he lost his best
friend, NJ. Paul Poirson, whom he had
made his residuary legatee. Meilhac
was much affected by his death, and it
was sometime before he could recover
from the blow. 4 few months later on
he became firmly attached to NJ. Gandcr-
AK, with whom he collaborated q COM
cdy for the Francois.
One evening while at party given
by Nine. Pozzi, he found himself by the
side of NJ. Ganderax, to whom he alb
ruptly said: my dear Ganderax, since
Poirson is dead, will you be my heir??"
Surprised at this proposal, NJ. GanderaS
could not dissemblc his confusion. But
my dear FRIEND" replied Grandax,
''you are not dying yet, and cant see
why you should think of your testa-
ment. At all events, you must have old
er friends than myself" Meilhac re-
joined: THAT has nothing to do with
it. + simply ask you. yes or no, will you
consent to become my heir" GanderaX
held out his hand an answered.: I'm
that case, my dear Meilhac, may con-
slider that, in speaking thus to me, you
ask me if will be your best friend. l
therefore willingly accept your pro-
posal."
Remembering the large sums OF
money he earned by his pieces, it IS
perhaps astonishing that he left such 4
small fortune-about 10000. 1t is
true he was generous even to extrav-
agance, and the more he made the more
he spent. His funeral at the Madeleine
was attended by all the celebrities in
art. science and Observation-Disclosures
