TT HAS become fashionable to talk
about having a sense OF humOrs ana
u those satisfied people who tlaunt
their proud possession OF this qua--
ity love 70 ridicule OF pity those who
they believe are lacking It.
1t is pitiable, indeed, TO be utterly
lacking In a sense Of humor, and to put
a literal meaning upon every phrase
uttered IN ones hearing, and TO take
as an insult what is meant as pleas
autry
Two pretty young women were Wis
iting q woman who could not under
stend a Jest; and whose husband was
an inTeterate joker, In an open and
frank Way. The husband was leaving
on an carly train; and the young ladies
said Eoodby with their good night We
VIII not see you again they remarked
'as Won leave so early"
oh. yes, I shall surely go to your
room In the morning and kiss you
gOOdby," the man replied. WhereupOn
the wife responded quickly and sert-
Ously: You VIII do nothing Of the
kind, you viii say your fareWells now.
The same woman replied 70 one who
spoke Of the primrose road TO folly,
that she had never Yet seen any prim-
roses growing about fOlly's path To

rocks the boat IN stormy sea and

The people who object TO the over

There was a recent departure OF a

very rude"
The family serves in relays. and some
one is always with the guest urging
her TO have a drink Of water, little
Irult, the family album, OF heaven
alone knows what, and II she wanted to
pray she would have to be like the
publican Of old.
Occasionally her mind reverts TO the
first meal at the table where she sought
to tell about meeting Mary Adams at
the station, and she starts the recital
over again but never gets any farther
so solicitOus is her hostess about her
comfort and her appetite. She Is dragged
to see all the sights. and ~ her
visit Is in a little town they include
the cemetery. and when her VISIT h
ended she is worn out with SAYING
now beautiful and thank YOU no
more, and her mind is a wreck. and
her nerves feel as II they had gone
with the mincemeat to the chOpping
howl aud her stomach Is disordered
through boiling her food in order that
SIZE miEht not be guilty OF the rude
ness OF saying mo more. thank you"
with something in her mouth.
And her hostess is troubled with
ing things at the table, and she is al
most starved TO death. for when did
she find time TO eat through urging
her guest 20 have mOre2
But she has been hospitable. II never
stopped saying Have some more all

ject Of securing embassy buildings IN
each Of the great capitals
Largely through the influence Of this
assOcta ton, congress recently passed
bill permitting the secretary Of state to
acquire property fin foreign capitals not
to exceed $500. 600 a year This prOvis-
ion however. is hampered by the re-
friction that not more than $4,000 be
spent in one year in any city. 1t is inn
possible to secure suitable embassy
building in any of the larger European
cities for anything like that sum, con-
sequently the bill as now WOrded de-
feats its own purpose
At the beginning Of American di-
plomacy much attention was given to
the clothes Of the foreign representa-
tfves Of the nation While Franklin
preferred always to wear his plain Qua
ker garb, and appeared thus clothed AT
the French court by special permission
of the king, his natural tact showed
him the prOpriety Of conforming to the
customs Of the country Hence he had
a suit Of spotted BelVers another OF
black velvet trimmed with fine white
ruffles. and a portrait Of him painted
during his stay in Paris shows him in
a suit of deliberately trimmed blue silk
At the signing Of the treaty Client the
American commissioners appeared in
costume as follows. "a blue coat lined
with white silk, straight standing cape,
embroidered buttOn-holes and buttons
stamped with the American eagle, white
knee breeches. gold buckles. white silk
stockings and gilt buckled shoes"
With this suit there was a three cor
nered hat q little smaller than the
French and a little larger than the
English. which was decorated by a
cockads to which an eagle had been at
tached.
The Official Dress.
At various times an official dress had
been designed for American diplomats
each Of which showed a decided ten
dency towards initiating the gorgeous
clothing Of court circles 1t was not
until the middle Of the last century
that the secretary Of state authorized
the diplomats at a foreign court to
wear the simple dress Of an Amerl-
can gentleman" This obtains with
but little modification at present.
When necessary an American minister
may add q sword to his regulation
dress suit and for special court func-
lions such as the recent English cOrO-
nation. the regulation dress coat may
be worn with knee breeches, silk stock
ings and buCkled shoes. but such mat
tiers are now left entirely to diplomat
&c discretion.

The Castle of pespond.

One of the finest French renaissance
buildings in France is the Castle OF
Desmond, famous in the legendary lore
OF the Toulousain country in which 1t
stands. Over the window of one of
the inner couryards is sculptured in
the stone head above the motto,
"Plus d'Espoir." These were the last
words of Rose de Martial, whose story
has been sung by the poets of lou
louise. She was the daughter of the
house Of Martial, to whom the castle
belonged, and she was courted by the
lord Of Castelnat, whose manor she
could see from her window. But. al
though she was beautiful and tender
hearted, the lord Tilted her, and she
fell into melancholy. She sat every
dav by the window. whence she could
see the tickle lord of Castelnats
manor. One morning he passed by In
the valley below. She sang to him
but he never looked up. Plus d Els
poir!" she cried and threw herself Out
of the window on to the flags below
where she was killed. The manor o
Martial was known thenceforward a
the Castle Of Despond. The fine build
ing was falling to ruins when NJ. FL
naille bought it, and he had it con
pletely and skillfully restored befoI
! making q gift Of it to the nation.
