HOW TO WIN HIS LOVE. BOIL HIS BOOT SOLEI Colonel Stephen Stenovitsky, a high War Office official of luga-Slavia, was dressing in a hurry for a Government dinner in Belgravo when he discovered one of his patent leather shoes missing. When his housekeeper said she had not seen it, Colonel Stenovitsky dashed out to the nearest shoemaker’s to tiy to buy a pair. “I’ve got part of your shoo here,” said the shoemaker when the colonel had explained his predicament. “Your housekeeper brought it and asked me to cut off the sole and throw away the rest.” Colonel Stenovitsky was very much angered and had the housekeeper arrested next day. “Yes, I stole it,” confessed the housekeeper tearfully to a magistrate. “1 love Colonel Stenovitsky and a fortune teller told me if I boiled a piece of the sole of his shoe in his coffee every morning he would be sure to leturn my love before I had used the whole sole. I had only used half of it.”
The housekeeper was released, but the fortune teller was arrested and sentenced to a month’s imprisonment. “it works,” he protested as ho was taken to the cells. “It has already resulted in fifty happy marriages.”
