A trade association some years ago
was in session in New York, and part
of its members were dining in a cafe
not far from the table at which sat
Paderewski, and at the close of the
feast one of the guests made his way
to the cloak room, where he encoun-
tered the famous pianist The new
confer stared for a long time at the
fair-haired Pole, and at last said:
You are very much like Paderewski.
Do you know him" 81 am Paderewski,"
rejoined the other, modestly. What"
shouted the stranger, and, dashing at
him, he shook both his hands. Before
Paderewski sufficiently recovered from
his surprise. the man stepped to the
door and, calling the others of his
party, yelled: 81 Say, Brown, Wheeler,
Carey all of you come here! l want
to introduce you to my friend Pad
