While Robert Browning and bis son
Barrett were living alone In Florence
the son gave one afternoon an exhibit
ton of his new paintings In the family
drawing room. To Mr.. Browning was
assigned the task Of meeting the
guests. Late in the afternoon. when
the room was well filed, there appeared
at the drawing room door a woman
whose face was familiar. Yet Mr.
Browning could not recall her name,
and he judged from her appearance
that she was not an invited guest.
There was embarrassment on both
sides for a moment. and then the wo'
man said eagerly: "Oh. please, Mr..
Browning, I'm the cook. Mr.. Barrett
said as was to come and see his pref
ty plcturs."
Whereupon Mr.. Browning, ofering
his arm, showed her about the room
with all the attention that he could
have bestowed upon reigning queen

scribes how a country nurseryman
made q large sum out Of sales Of a

one Of those freaks Of fashion for
which there is no accounting. At
length a botanist who found that the
plant was not an uncommon weed re-
quested to know where the nursery
man got the name from. he elected
the following reply; 81 found this iow-
er in the road beside US, so christened
It the Rhodum sidus."
