Just before I came away a friend of mine, rather lan aristocratic sort of chap, called on me and said: Harry, feel have not done my duty by you, on this trip; g you have sequestered yourself too much. Now. tonight I am going to Introduce you to some of our upper ten. Here's my card for reception lat the Duke of --'s.' don't mention the name of the duke,' adds MT Gull foil in parenthesis, because this is an absolutely true story, and this partic- -ular duke turned out to be a white man. We'll of course, was tickled to death hy the invitation, and immedi- ately after dinner we set out. We were . ,shered into a magnificent house and passed through several rooms, which twere lined with family portraits and f1unkeys. It was awe-inspiring I as- sure you. never felt my smallness .so much before. At last we reached an immnse room which was full of people. There was a platform at one end of it. but before could get my tbearings at all, his grace came for ward and shook me by the hand. He set me at ease in an instant and we stood there chatting for five minutes. Then his grace remarked: 'BS the way, Mr Guilfoil, we have heard such lot about you, won't you recite something 5 for us ? Of course I said would be delighted. His grace was such good fellow that I'd have done a good deal more than that for him; so climbed up on the little platform. and I kept fhfs grace's guests in a good humor for nearly half an hour. After that his grace and I had another chat and bottle of champagne; and then my friend and took our departure. Old man said |. as grasped my aristo- cratic friend by the hand. you have given me the most charming evening of my life. That's all right, Harry" Isaid my friend. About two weeks after my return home received this letter from my aristocratic friend" concludes MT GuiIfoil.- '"The letter ran like this My dear Harry:-Whe are yorlus coming to London again?
