"A new story of the poet Browning
relates shat at one time he had been
given 8 pure biooded bulldog of q
rare strain, Of SO fierce q disposition
and SO devoted to the poets mother
that it was unsafe for a stranger to
shake hands with her inzhfs presence.
Browning himself was the only other
person whom the dog would allow to
touch him, but even when the poet was
more familiar with his mother than
the dog thought right he showed his
teeth to him. They one day put him
to a severe test, Browning putting his
arm around his mothers neck as they
sat side by side at the table. The dog
went round behind them and, putting
his feet upon the chair, lifted Brown
ing's arm off her shoulder with his
nose, giving an intimation that he
would not permit any liberty Of that
kind even from him.

Speaking of Lehr, who came to New

right into the Four Hundred, this

who We're enthusiastically aGmiring q

In that moment, if he had done moth

upon one Of the leaders Of society.
"You see," he continued slowly, while
about him there was a gasp Of con-
sternation, 'its lack Of color does not
do you complexion Justice. Will you
add this to your corsage and see the
effect?'
He handed her a great red rose from
a vase near by. Mrs. Astor happened
to agree that he was right, and from
