FRENCH LAWYER'S MISTAKE
A young lawyer of Vienne (France), lacking a formal introduction to the object of his affections, sent her a note in a cafe scribbled on a slip of paper from his pocket indicating a rendezvous (writes a correspondent of ‘ The Times’). On the wireless that evening he heard that his ticket in a State lottery had won 1,000,000 f. To his horror, however, he found that his ticket had disappeared, and he then realised that it was on the ticket that lie had scribbled bis tender appeal. Going to the cafe the next day he found the lady of bis dreams, only to be informed that bis attentions were unwelcome and that bis note had been torn up apd thrown away. Later, at the Commissariat of Police,, she suggested that anyone so stupid had no right to pay any attention to a lady at all. Even the traditional balance of the legal mind broke down before this final thrust, and the young lawyer is at present inconsolable.
