TRUTHFUL FLATTERY.

“I’ve just called in, my dear, to tell you how much I enjoyed, your party last, night! And, also, to thank you for introducing to me that charming young man who- took me into dinner! ” said Miss Languish to Mrs Blunt. I “Yes, he’s a nice young fellow, isn’t he? I though you two scorned to be getting on famously together!’’

“Oh, yes; he has such really delightful manners! Why, after I. had sung, he told me—in such a nice way, too —that if he had my voice he would be a rich man in no time—and Ibn sure he meant it! I suppose he is also a singer?’’ Mrs Blunt never wasted words. “No; he is not a singer, dear, but I have no doubt he meant what he said. He’s an auctioneer.”
