LORD HALDANE AND THE LADY.
In order to solicit a subscription for a war charity from Lord Haldano a lady called upon him not long ago, and was mot in the hall by a. plainly-dressed man who conducted her to an anteroom and politely .invited her, to be seated. The man did not go, away, however, but remained standing near her, so the. lady addressed a few remarks to him on in- . different subjects, wondering at the same time why he didn't leave her to ieteh his lordship. At length. he politely '."interrupted her and said, : "Madam, I'm sure you will.excuse me, but my-timo is valuable, and you have not' yet told me what your business is." The lady was completely taken off her guard. ; "Good gracious!" she exclaimed,. "you, don't jnean .to ; say you're Lord Haldano himself ? Wliy, I took you for the .butler."
