your name, address, what date you
sailed from the United States, name of
steamer, how many trunks you have,
if you have brought any dresses or
are taking any presents hon&e. On the
wharf the inspector opened my parcel
of wraps, pulled out my nightgown, hot
water bottle and leggings.
HE then opened my handbag, looked
into the little box where 1 keep my
hairpins, also the box with the corn
p1asters, took my comb and brush out
of the paper, looked into my bag with
the sewing materials. Then my trunk
was turned and he asked if everything
was my own wearing apparel and no
presents.
Took out some of the things on
top, and everything wrapped in paper
he opened. He was very suspicious of
everything wrapped in paper. He
wanted to know what that beret was

Guest Asked for Soft-Boileo Eggs, but
They Might Have Been Hard.
The wife of an %out-of-town clergy.
mar had been away from home for a
week and had left certain light house
hold duties for her husband to attend
to during her absence, among them
the getting of his own breakfast. On
her return she was dismayed to learn
that a brother clergyman had come to
visit him and had remained one night
at the rectory. In fear and trembling
she inquired into the details of his
entertainment.
II took him with me to the boarding
house for dinner" her husband told
her, $50 that part was all right: and l
knew that you always kept the guest
o ready for occupancy, so l was
safe OF that point. The only thing
that l am not sure of having been
satisfactory is his breakfast. He said
on retiring that he would like to be
called at z o'clock, and that all he
would want to eat would be two soft
eggs, so I put on the eggs at exactly
z, and then I called him. He never
came down stairs until half-past s,
and there were his eggs boiling in
the pot, and they may have been
hard boiled for all 1 know."-New
