Could Fiction Writers
Find Anything Funnier?

The story of the British civil serv-
ant who, after ten years absence
from his Office. returned to it to find
that he had risen in salary and senior
ity while away, and was now a prin-
cipal clerk, has its parallel in real life.
A certain young man became a mem
Der of the French civil service in 1922,
and from that time a hat, a coat, and
pair Of gloves at his desk bore mute
testimony TO his existence. This evil
dence was confirmed by his regularity
in collecting his salary But, other
wise, he was never seen or heard Of at
his office.
He was transferred to another Of
flee, and his hat, coat and gloves
changed their quarters But other
wise there was no change. Eventually
it was discovered that he was a pro
fessional dancer, and was too busy to
attend the office.
The authorities were shocked, and
resolved that the young man must be
punished. But the only two possible
punishments were dismissal and re-
duction In grade. The first seemed too
severe; as for the second, the young
man was already in the lowest grade.
Finally, the Gordian knot was cut
the young man was promoted, and
then Immediately reduced to his for
mer status.
