Some English ladies passing through Con- . Btantmople paid a visit to a certain high Turkish i functionary. The host offered them refreah- ' ments, including a great variety of sweetmeats, always taking care to give one of the ladies double the quantity he gave to the others, i Flattered by this marked attention, she put < the question through the interpreter : "Why do you serve me more liberally than the rest?" •• Because you have a larger mouth," was the straightforward reply of the host.
