GERMAN MAYOR'S GAY EVENING.

TELL-TALE POSTCARD,

The mayor of provincial, town was bewildered recently by the receipt of a animons to go to Berlin as a witness at the trial for theft of a person called Helweg Schmidt,

Neither he nor his wife knew anybody of the name, and it was only after they had solemnly discussed the matter that the mayor was seized with the suspicion that this Hedwig might be a young per son with whom he had bad a festive supper in Berlin some weeks before.

Of that supper his wife knew nothing. and all he could remember of it was that he had had too much champagne amd next morning had found his watch missing.

+1

On entering the conet he found his sus pieton was only too true. It was the attractive looking person in a bewitching frock mund hat on the prisoners' bench with whom he had had that supper.

Do you know the prisoner ? asked the julge.

The wretched mayor, knowing that his wife, who had insisted on accompanying him, was then wented in the body of the rourt, declared that, he had never seen the young person before.

"Then how is it that aristenrd a dressed to your wife and signed be you was found in the prisoner's handbag?" asked the judge severely,

“LỜI. VỚI SEREST:

At this point a sterill voice rose," "COK?} you sement!” cried the wile, and banged the door of the art as she went out.

Arrest that woman shouted the judge.

said the mayor

"It is my wife," meekly.

The judge smiled, and 'withdrew his urder.

Then, his wife gone, the muyor told the druth. He hul supped with the charming Hedwig, and, being uncertain whether his hand was steady enough to post a letter, had given the picture postcard to the young person to post. It was found in her handbag, together with the mayor's watch, when she was arrested on a series of charges of theft.

Hedwig at six months, the mayor got his watch-but one's blood runs told to think of the lifelong price he will have to pay for its recovery.

MUSIC AT MEALS.

MR. CHESTERTON ON TOO MUCH

to enjoy a good concert, But I do think there is something greedy about expecting to enjoy the dinner and the escort at the sanic Linke I say trying to cajoy them, for it is the mark of this sort of complex enjoyment that it is not enjoyed. fashing of having very loud music during als in restaurants and hotel seems th nin perfect example of this chaotic, at- tempt to have everything at ones and do everything at oner. Eating and drinking Run to blue that together by a braali- tion as as the world; but the entrance of this fourth factor only spoil the other. three, It is an ingenious scheme for com- bining music to which nobody will fisten with "conversation that nobody can hear. Recall some of the great conversations of history and literature: imagine some of the great and graceful impromptus, some of the spontaneous epigrams of the wits of the past; and then imagine each of them shouted through the deafening uproar of, a brass band,

It seems to me an intolerable insult to

a masient artist that prople should treat his art as an adjunct to a refined glittony. It wears a yet more subtle insult to the musician that people should require to be fortified with food and drink at intervals to strenghen them to cite his music. I ay nothing of the deeper and darker in- sult to that other artist, the cook, in the "mggestion that men require to be inspired and rallied with drums and trumpets to attack the dangers of his dinner, as if

When people are listening to a good concert they do not ostentatiously produce large pork-pies and bottles of beer to en- able them to get through it somehow. And if they do not bring their meals to their music, why should they bring their music to their meals?
