HID HIS WILL I'M A BOOK
venge on Friends Who Refused
to Read His Memoirs.

In 1903 there died at Paris an old
preceptor whose fancy impelled him TO
write his memoirs, says n French jour
nal. In this history he set down the
most insignificant transaction of his
long life. When he finished q volume
he had it richly bound and set it on q
shelf He invited his old comrades 90
read it. One after another tried to
do so. but did not progress beyond the
first 20 pages. Deeply wounded in his
vanity, he devised a revenge. In his
fifteenth volume on page 047 he insert
ed'his last will and testament dividing
his fortune of 100000 francs among
his friends. This fact but not the page
was disclosed TO them. a communion
ton they received with ironic smiles.
The facetious old fellow died, his con
science at rest, his soul in peace. His
natural heirs took possession of his
fortune. II was not until a year ago,
by accident, that the will was found
in his memoirs. The possession by
the natural heirs is now being contest
ed in the courts.

The Queen and Fancy Dress Cost

The Queen and Fancy Dress Costume
Queen Mary, as is now well known
in the old country, has sternly disap
proved of some of the costumes worn
by ladies of the court at recent fancy
dress balls. One remark related by
one of her majesty's ladies-in-waiting
is delicious. The queen was shown a
photograph of Lord and Lady at
one of these functions.
ooh, yes" was her majesty's reply
most interesting, 1 am sure. BY the
way, which is his lordship?"
The costume of her ladyship may
be imagined.
