DIPLOMATIC HASH.
Lady Whicheis was thinking. A letter
lay In her lap, and her correspondent was
her ton-not the baronet, but his brother
Bertie—who had written to say that he
meant to run down to see her the some
evening.
She knew witht he was coming for per-
fectly well. Rumors of his infatuation
had already reached her. lie was coming
to tell her that ho was engaged to marry
bliss Daisy Dornton, who sang for a new,
pic of pounds a week In the chorus of tho
Coronet theater. Lady Whichels “roamed.
and her lips were parsed in annoyance.
“Your brother is an Idiot. Philip!" she
eaid sharply to a young man who entered
the room a moment later. "He is the
worst kind of an idiot, for he is not only
idiotic, e is piglieadod.”
Sir P Ile Whit-hols twirlod his mus-
tache and grinned.
“Ila-1 the climax arrived?" he asked.
”What is the inatterf"

“Advise mo, Philip,” she sait , "

“ 1‘ n1 sure I don t know what you can

tho kennels, and presently she littered an
exclamation and dispatchedasorvaut to
fetch him.
"Philip," she exclaimed, “I have a 110-
tion at last. The Miss—Miss Ilornton is,
of course, ‘iinposnlble.’ There can be no:

to make Bertie see if. ”

But just after Miss Dornton'sv isit came
to a termination she had cause to feel
worse still, for something horrible had
happened. It began— Where did it be-
gin? It matured in the smoking room
one evening. It culminated in Lady
Wliichels' dressing room at ii oclock one
ghastly morning, when she was half dmul
with misery and shop.
For ten davs Bertie had been feeling
lesa sure of himself than he had done.
'Oppcsltion w as the breath of life to him,
and, with the course of true love running

it was true love. after all.

A Chinese Dinner Party.
“When a Chinese minister at Washing-
ton,” says a correspondent, “gives 11 form:
al dinner to any of his countrymen of
sufficient rank to be thus honored, or to
Japanese visitors, he never fails to go;
Ithrougli a curious form of etiquette. I
" Before taking his seat at tho head of
the board he npproathes the guests, who
stand' in a line round the table, and, with
out uttering 11. sVil.1 )li‘ p" Lubes cacyli ten-
dcrly .nd 111iyfully and points significant-
ly to the unoccupied post at the head of
‘ the table .
“It is etiquette for tlicgu sis to observe Q
a rigid demeanor, neither speaking iior ',
moving and demonstrating by their in-
flexible attitudes their unworthlncss to
occupy the place of honor.
“’l‘his'oVer, the minister sinks into his
chair and no doubt would have been
greatly surprised had anymdy taken it.
No one speaks until the minister drops a
remark, which is finally taken up and
commented upon. Then the chief speaks
again, and flora observations follow. 80 1
it may be said that the chairman, in a
measure, supplies subjects for conversa-
tion.
“Another curious custom at these form-
al dinners is that after the fish is eaten
the guests all rise simultaneously nuddust
their chairs with their napkins. ,
“The bill of fare is pretty nearly the
same as would be served at any other for-
oign Iegations, with one or two special
