A youthful assistant-surgeon, who joined about the same time, was an extraordinary specimen of simplicity and ignorance of s cia. conventionalities. The subalterns were naturally enough, eternally playing pranks upon him. He took them, however, with such imperturbable good-humour that he became a sort of recognized and affec tionately-regarded plaything, and each and all of his persecutors would have promptly gone for an outsider who ventured to take a liberty with him. One harmless jóke that was played upon him was at Brighton, which was then a favourite cavalry quarter. He received a card of invitation to a dance from some titled lady. It bore the letters R.S.V.P. in a corner. Not having the faintest idea what these letters meant, he

Playfair thought he would like to get some of his own cigars so, she went quietly to his room for the purpose, Imaging his dismay on entering to find a complete wreck. Everything in it had been smashed to pieces. Not a singlo article renwined intact. After a few angry ejaculations he said to himself, 'This is a nice go, my boy. They take you for a fop and a muff.

Then there was general handshaking all round, and some of them could hardly keep from blubbering. Playfair immediately leaped into popularity and, before a week was out, every article in his room had been replaced by a costlier one, and it was not at his expense.
