At Graceful the other day, one of the boys (who always uses three lines and a half to register his name) was anxious to find out the name of a new waitress who had been employed at the house since he was there before. She came up to the table to get his order, and, leaning over, he said: “ What shall we call you ?” “ Pearl, sir,” was the modest reply, “ Are you the pearl of great price?” he ventured. “No, sir,” was the quick rejoinder ; “lam one of the pearls cast before swine.”—‘St. Paul Globe.
