Lord Spencer, when Yiceroy OF Ire

ladies and gentlemen who had attend.
ed drawing-rooms or leyees had an un
written right to attend the st. Pat
rick's day ball. Some very queer peo-
pie used to present themselves.
Not contented with eating and drink
ing all they could, many persons used
to make predatory raids on the tables
and carry of eatables OF all sorts. On.
one occasion the comptroller saw a
stout, elderly lady take a whole fowl
and stuff it with considerable deftness
into a somewhat capacious silk and
embroidered bag. He at once went
UP to her and, pointing with his finger
at the bag, said:
Madam, won't you take some ham
with that?"
The good lady was not in the least
abashed, but replied:
"Ah, captain, sure it's a joker you
are" and stuck to her booty.-From

little accessories which are so priced
by her olders sister. To begin with her
needs, there are the ever-useful hair
ribbons for her everyday frock, as well
as for party occasions; then, too, she
will want several pretty embroidered

Many persons do not realize that a

Coffee and tea drinking being such
an ancient and respectable form Of
habit, few realize that the drug-caf.

To leave off coffee or tea is an easy
matter if you want to try it, because
