Quits so; but wish TO relate a pretty
incident. When the late Earl Beaconsfleld
was young man-just my age-a tailor

he applied for the accommodation, the
tailor told him he did not know him.
Dizzy replied, Il don't know you, either, SO
we have no advantage over each other.

young chap, with an intelligent face III

look back. Dizzy rose to be the premier
of Great Britain. The tailor prospered as
his client rose in the social scale, for Dig

chain of condolences Dizzy was poor.
