SHOULD HAVE ASKED.
Vexatious Way In which Name VIII
Sometimes Slip the Memory.

| Nexatious Way In W fch q name wiz
Sometimes Slip the Memory.
Names OF persons will sometimes es-
cape the memory In a most vexatlous
| fashion. One does not Ike TO admit
his failure to recollect, and ask u
friend pointblank for his name, and
efforts TO ascertain it in roundabout
way do not always meet with success.
An EnglIshman who had tried yalnly
to recollect friends name said to him:
There is Il little dispute as TO how you
spell your name" oh, with two p's.'
was the reply. which left the question
er as wise as before.
Mr.. Yates, London gentleman, as
the story is related in Richard II. Bar
NUNS "Reminiscences, met IA friend
in the street and invited him TO dinner,
but was unable to recall his name.
Reaching home. he told his wife what
he had done, and described the gen
tleman. They had often visited at his
home In Bristol
"Oh, yes" said Mrs Yates, 81 remem-
Der him very well, but what Is his
name?"
Neither husband nor wife could re-
call IL. The day OF the dinner came,
and the servant was instructed TO ask
the name of every gentleman who came
to the dinner, and TO announce II dis
tlnctly as he entered the room. As luck
would have 1t, this gentleman came
late, was let In by another servant, and
hence entered unannounced. Several
indirect attempts were made TO get the
name but without avail. Good-bys
were finally exchanged, and Yates was
congratulating himself that all had
passed off well. when the nameless one
said hastily:
ooh, by the by, my dear Yates, | for
got to tell you that bought French
clock to-day at Hawley's, but as II
needs a weeks regulating, | took the
liberty of giving your name and order
ing It sent here, and said that you
would forward it. 1t is paid for say
ing which, lie entered the hall aud was
descending the stairs.
Yates recovered breath and hurried
after him.
Stop he said. ITO make sure, you
had better write the address yourself
NO, no, | can't stop" returned the
guest. II shall be too late The old
house near the cathedral-you know it.
Good-by," and he was gone.
How the affair terminated Is left to
the Imagination Of the reader.
