another pair of tight Shoes" said wo-
man. but If should be inveigled into
making myself uncomfortable | know
what shall do to allay the pain. The
ministrations to the aching feet of a

for relief showed me remedy. The
mans shoes pinched in three different
places. Having located the painful
spots Rafael dipped long strip of can
ton flannel into boiling water and held
the cloth stretched tightly across the
mans shoes. When the water began
to evaporate he dampened the cloth
again and repeated the process several
times.
Now said he at last. your shoes
are set to your feet No more hurt

l thought a small price to pay for re-

morning. The company grew very
weary. particularly a gentleman who
had been with Sir Herbert Beerbohm

who had never attained to more than
a very tiny part. When the time came
to rehearse his few lines he was so
tired that his voice was anything but
distinct.

Sir Herbert In his most sarcastic tones.

man himself. was so pleased with the
retort that the salary of the small part
