This small boy, three and one-half
years old, was accustomed to meet
the postman and get the letters for
the family. He and the postman were
friends and the postman always had q
smile and pleasant word for him.
But one morning when the post
man came around he neither smiled
at the boy nor said word to him;
he Just handed the letters over the
gatesto him and passed on, which was
O great surprise to the boy. The fact
was that this was another postman,
taking that morning the place of the
regular man on this route, but the
small boy wasn't quite old enough to
realize It. This new postman wore

making exhibition. A certain prin-
cess agreed to open It, At the last
moment some one noticed that the
most important models. two very cor
geous lace blouses, were not displayed
to proper advantage. The caretaker
was called and instructed to beg bor-
row or steal two dressmaker's dunn
mics and to drape the blouses upon
them before the princess arrived.
After the opening ceremony 1t was
noticed that the exhibits were exclt-

the committee had counted on and
the princess insisted on seeing the
two objects which were the center OF
attraction. Her surprise was very
great when she caught sight of two
lifesize busts OF Schiller and Goethe,
both decked out in lace blouses.
The caretaker, not being able to Sc

with dusters to fiji out the blouses.

where a servant, firing Of her work In
the kitchen, thought to make 1t lighter
by dancing around the kitchen and
singing at the same time. The mis-

called her into the parlor, where she
was asked to dance the peculiar step
over again. A musician by the name
of Neruda was present and he some
time later wrote music for the step
The name polka comes from the Czech
language, meaning half step.
In 1889 the polka was introduced
into Vienna and it made a great sue
