The Way an American Visitor Was
Received In London.
"When l arrived in London" says a
we'll known actor, 81 received a charm
ing letter from man whose name
could not recall ever having heard be-
fore, but presumlng that it must be
some friend whom had forgotten l
readily accepted the invitation to din
ner which the epistle contained and
duly turned up the following evening
at the hotel named. A gentleman
whom | did not recognize at once APP
preached me with outstretched hand,
and so pleased did he seem to see me
that | did not like to hurt his feelings
by admitting that my memory had
failed me, but trusted that some chance
remark might presently remind me Of
our previous acquaintance.
"In due course we enjoyed the best
dinner the house had to offer, accom-
panied by the very choicest cigars. At
this point the gentleman left the room
in order to get something out of his
overcoat pocket and failed to reap
pear. / waited for him in vain. Then
by degrees the truth dawned upon me,
and l realized why he had been so
genuinely pleased to meet me. How
ever, he told so many amusing stories
that the evening was pleasant enough
to more than compensate me for being
obliged to pay the bill."-New York
