An Englishwoman of decidedly snob-

behind great and new riches, once en-
gagged the late Corney Grain to give
an entertainment at her country house.
She left instructions that the enter
tainer when he arrived was to dine
with the servants. The butler, who
knew better, apologized, but Corney
was man not easily disconnected,
wrote Jerome X. jerome. He dined
well and after dinner rose and al.

"Well, now, my good friends" said
he, III we have all finished and If you
are all agreeable shall be pleased to

The servants cheered. The pialto
was dispensed with, and Corney con-
rived to amuse his audience very well
for half an hour without it. r..
