MISUNDERSTOOD.
A gentleman who had married his cook was giving a party to some of the more distinguished of his friends. The hostess had been unable to leave her kitchen manners behind her when she was elevated to the dining room, and consequently between the courses she sat with her hands spread on the table. Suddenly the buzz of conversation ceased, and in the silence that followed a young man on the right of the ex-cook remarked pleasantly, "Awful pause." The lady went very red in the face, and then turning to the young man said in a loud voice : "Yes, they may be, and yours would be like them if you had done half my work." —Winifred Tobin, Panmure Road,
