Where the Best Man FaIIs.

Evidently a school of training is
needed for groomsmen. A parish
clerk, who has been officiating for
thirty-seven years at a London West
End church, famous the world over
for it's numerous society weddings, de-
clares that groomsmen are rather
noted for observation-disclosures. In par
ticular, the man in that position, fails
to look after the bridegroom's hat,
and left to himself, nearly always let's
the bridegroom go away hatless.
Why" continued the old clerk,
when Mr.. Asquith was married-four
prime ministers signed the register;
Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.. Balfour, Lord Rose
berry, and the bridegroom himself
his hat was left behind in the yes
try, and his best man was no less
important a person than Lord Hal
dane, the present lord chancellor,
whom you would have thought was to
be relied on, and the worst Of ii was
MIR. Asquith wears a very large-sized
hat, very difficult to replace. Lord
Kitchener / have seen as best man
once But If had not kept vigilant
watch, the bridegroom would have
gone away bareheaded."

The ignorance of the scholar con.

Of Thackeray's own telling points to
surprising possibilities of the cloister-
ed life at Oxford, at least In the last
century
Thackeray, 1t seems, was to lecture
at Oxford, and, according to custom,
had first to get the vice-chancellor's
license to do so. This is the CONVEX
sation that occurred, as the novelist
reported it:
Vlce-Chancellor-Pray, sir, what can
l do for you?
Thackeray-My name is Thackeray.
