SAYS THE BEST THING WOMAN WHO IS NOTED FOR THE WORD FITLY SPOKEN. Her Remark* Are Alway* Apt and Pleasing and the Hearers Know That There Is Absolute Sincerity Behind Them. "Do you remember what Mrs. Gregg wore at that reception of yours two years ago?” asked Mrs. Crane. I "No,” replied Mrs. Chase, “but I re- ! member what she said. After most of the others had made the usual polite I remarks and gone away, Mrs. Gregg came up, and putting out her hand, , said, with her refreshing sincerity: | “ 'You’ve given me a good afternoon . and now I must bid you one.’ ” "That is why I asked you,” said Mrs. i Crane, with interest. "Although I’ve met Mrs. Gregg 100 times, I cannot rei member distinctly what she wore at I any time; but 1 can remember so many i things that she has said and just how ' she looked when she said them. "I remember once,” continued Mrs. Crane, "after a recital by Miss PatHlo, the women crowded round her and said all sorts of inane things in the effort to impress the pianist with their knowledge and love of music. Miss Fatillo received their compliments in a polite tired way. Then Mrs. Gregg came up, took the girl's hand in both hers, and said: “ ‘My dear, I don’t know anything about music, but when you played 1 imagined I was a girl again in a held of wild daisies.’ “At once the pianist’s eyes lighted with pleasure, and there was real gratitude in her 'Thank you,’ and the pressure of her hand." "And I’ll venture," said Mrs. Chase, "that if you asked her today about that recital, the oulj thing she would remember would be Mrs. Gregg and her held of daisies. “It is not that she says startling things,” continued Mrs. Chase. "She does not try to be odd or witty, but •she always succeeds in putting things freshly. Can you imagine her saying. ‘lt was such a success, Miss Watts" ‘l’ve had a perfectly delightful time, Mrs. Coombs?’ ” “I remember,” said Mrs. Crane, with a laugh, "that one summer Mrs. Gregg was at our house party in the mountains, One evening, after watching the sunset, she turned suddenly to me. ‘Do you know what I was thinking, Mrs Crane?' she answered. “ 'No,’ I answered. “ ’I was thinking.’ she said with a smile, 'how glad I am tnat 1 lost my very best doll when 1 was a little girl. ■' ‘Why?’ I asked, curiously. " ‘lf I hadn’t lost my doll,’ she said, 'my mother would not have sent me to the store for another; arql If 1 hadn't gone to the store I should never have met Lizzie Smith, who happened to be there with her aunt; and If 1 had never met Lizzie I should never have known you—and so I shouldn't be here now ” Bath women laughed appreciatively "I know many women,” said Mrs Chase, "who are more striking to look at. many with finer clothes, and some with keener wits, but Mrs. Gregg sayt the word you want to hear.” "And it is something more than » word,” replied Mrs. Crane. "There's the gc-nujne feeling behind the word She really enjoys things—with her it is not a matter of showing her clothes of paying social obligations, or making friends. That, I suppose, is why she can always say the thing that makes the hostess remember her with suet vivid pleasure.”—Youth's Companion. The Strangest of Birds. The German emperor was lately the recipient of a pair of very curious birds from the East Indies. The spe • cies is nearly extinct, and It Is said that an effort wiii be made to prevent their becoming entirely so by etiforc Ing the laws against hunting them. These birds always travel In pairs and are hardly ever separated The beak of the male Is short and strong while that of the female is fine, long and curved. The male's work is tc break with his strong bill the tough bark of trees in order that his mate may introduce her pointed beak intc the holes dug into the trunk by In sects and so extract food. When the male detects an "insect haunt” he lays Il bare and the female pulls forth the prey with her beak, divides it tn two gives the male his portion and eate the other, continuing the process un til both have had enough. Consequent ly the death of one or the other means starvation to the survivor, the female being unable to break the bark of trees and the male to taße out the prey when its presence is exposed— Harper’s Weekly. He Got It. "My nephew,” says the bespectacled man, “entertained me most generously while I was in New York. He took me almost every evening to one restaurant or another and I heard several most lively songs.” "What were they?” asks the other. “I do not remember them definitely but one of them had a refrain which began b’- stating ‘Everybody Is En r»ged in a Similar Occupation at the Present Time.’" An Appropriate Testimonial. “I see somebody has suggested ths possibility of erecting a statue to the Inventor of rubber tires,” said Whirtie berry. "Good!” said Gummlton. “I suppose from the general behavior of the tire; lt‘ll be a bust "-—Harper's Weekly.
