BREVITIES. “My Word, What a Joke!” A recent cablegram from London contained the information that all so- | cial England is laughing over a prank which was played by Mrs. Margot Asquith, wife of the prime minister, upon a drunken peer. It seems that Mrs. Asquith attended a very formal dinner, and at her side was placed a very noble but very bibulous lord of the realm. The lord tried- hard to keep up appearances for a time, but gradually he slipped under the table. Mrs, Asquith thereupon ordered -the butler to bring her a pair of men's shoes. These she placed in_ her lap 80 that their tips showed above the edge of the table. Then, in a loud voice, she cried out: “How dare you put your feet in my lap?” ‘This is the greatest joke British society has had for' a long time. Doubtless a lady of less wit and re- source ‘would "have permitted the haugthy lord to 'have slipped entirely under the table to sleep peacefully until he was hauled forth at the end of the dinner and taken home. But this was not Mrs. Asquith’s way. She saw a chance to set society talking and to this end unbent. her womanly HOTELS BURNED AT OCEAN VIEW ,lorfalk Pleasure Resort Nearly Wiped Qut, Norfolk, Va, Deec. 2.—Hard work by the volunteer firemen early this morn- ing probably saved Ocean View, Nor- folk’s Comey Island, from total de- struction by fire.

Dear Willie: Well, I suppose you wonder why I have not written to you before. ?ll I have been pretty busy shooting big game, as 1 suppose you have red in the papers. It was grate sport, but not the kind you would likely injoy, you being more sedative in disposition than what I am. I got a lot of ellerfants and lions and lep- pards and zebrys, and once or twice they pretty near got me, but I was too mutch for them, of corse. ‘Well, it Is about time for me to start back to America now, so I thought I would send you a few lines to let you know I was coming. I suppose you have mist me a grate deal, it must of ‘been /pretty hard to have me go away and leave you without any playmates in the naberhood except that Aldrich gang, dut I will be back soon, Willie, and you needent play with them any more after I get there. Don’t let them leed you into any scraipes, they will pertend to be friends with you but you know them kind of boys canit be good friends to good boys. That Sherman boy is full of tricks, and that Ballinger kid will put. up @ job on iyou if heggets a chants, and as, for Joe Cannon, It doesn’t pay to go around with a boy that smoaks so mutch. If they have been getting you into trouble in the naberhood I will fix them when I get back, I -can lick the hole gang with one hand tied behind my back. Now I must close, so no more at pressent. Don't study too hard, and if I was you I would get out of dore§ more. Your_true frend, THEODORE. —Newark News.
