Society in Caloutta.

A funny story concerning the “Upper Ten” of Calcutta has got abroad. It is to this effect: A lady oalled at a house, sent up her card, was admitted, paid the usual visit, and enjoyed the usual amount of small talk with the lady of the house. Beturnipg home, she informed her husband where she had been, when that distinguished member of society at o:ice wrote off to the “Oocupaut of the house No. —, street,” saying that his wife had called by mistake, and requesting the return of the card she had left ou visiting the lady of the said house. The husband of the lady visited, however, was equal to the occasion, for he replied that on returning hqcne and finding the card he had looked at his wife’s visiting list, and, not finding the name of the visitor, he had torn up the card, and was therefore unable to return it. Leo XIII. will grant no more private audiences. Press comment upon the reports of the interviews rather than inability to hold them is the cause.
