Show SHE DID NOT DRINK. And Consequently Did Not Need First Tloor Rooms. American pushfulness is an unlimited unlim-ited quantity. The women are as irrepressible ir-repressible in society as the men in commerce. A c ortain visitor to the Riviera found tnis out recently. He was occupying first floor rooms at a well-known hotel. An of a sudden, without any introduction or preliminary, prelim-inary, a note was brought to him signed by the wife of a well-known American millionaire. It asked him whetner he would object to giving up his rooms to her niece. He was much amazed, but wrote back inquiring whether the niece drank. Mrs. wrote in rer'y, in surprise and indignation, indig-nation, winding up with an empnatic statement that her niece did not drink. Lord X concluded with the following note: "Lord X regrets re-grets that he cannot give up his first floor rooms to Mrs. 's niece, for he is convinced that, as the young lady does not drink, it is very much easier for her to get up stairs than it Is for Lord X ."London Tat- ler. |
