Two Hawke’s Bay ladies who recently returned from California relate an amusing experience. Unaware of the loss of the Tahiti, they were partaking of one of America’s national dishes, fried chicken, in a Los Angeles hotel, when they noticed a man reading a paper some little distatnee from their table and were struck with the words. “New Zealand Steamer Wrecked.” Filled with curiosity as to what steamer it could .be. they continued their 'meal, and presently the man departed leaving the newspaper on hiS chair. Calling- the nearest waiter, they asked if they might have the newspaper that" the ‘gentleman had left’. ' “Certainly nindame,” replied the waiter, who, .to their astonishment', went and tore a page front the paper and gave it'to them. “I’m sorry to trouble, you,” said one of the ladies*, “but we wanted to see wlu.it New Zealand steamer-it is that has been wrecked:’ Tlie waiter was full of apologies and explained that he thought they wanted a .piece of paper to wrap round the chicken hones, Jso , that they might take them' home for their dog.' | One of the most popular and useful gifts', book.
