DRAWING THE SOCIAL LINE
William Dean HoweIIs' snob Story
From Wales About the Retired
London Tailor. s

Il lunched with William Dean How.
ellis In his apartment in Half Moon
street while I was In London last
month" said a Chicago essayist.
Mr.. Howells was as boyish and gay as
ever. He was as hard as ever on
the snob.
He told me a snob story he had
heard In Wales. He said that a Lon.
don tailor made his pile and retired
TO Welsh castle. where he set up
as squire.
But the tailor had hardly got es.
tablished as squire when a London
natter retired and set up in a neigh.
boring castle as a squire also. It was
disgusting.
"A friend, apropos of the ex-hatter's
coming, said to the ex-tailor:
VIII you call on him?
Not L. was the reply. One must
draw the line somewhere
And so,' said the friend, you draw
1t round the neck, eh?'"

HAD A NAUTICAL CHRISTENING
Sea Captain Knew Only One Form Of
Ceremony and Did His Duty as
He Saw It,

Some years ago a slow sailing ves-
sci, wheL some 600 miles out from
Liverpool, picked up a lusty young
ster of five years lashed to a mast.
The captain took a great liking to
him. called him his son and decided
that the little chap must be christ
ened-one Of the few things which
he know must be attended to in the
case of children.
or course there was no chaplain
aboard, so the captain himself under
took the ceremony. He gathered the
Ten about him, and with mixed
knowledge of his duties he glared
about him and asked whether any
one knew just cause why the boy
should not be christened.
IF there is," he roared, speak up
like man or forever hold your
tongue"
Then he suddenly cracked a bottle
OF wine above tho boys head and
christened him.
The ocean waif is now settled down
"a steady longshoreman, but he still
relates with satisfaction the story OF
his christening.
