What’s In a Name.

Miss Sawyer, who is poor, was introduced at a lunch party to Miss Taylor, who is rich, and was coldly received. Miss Sawyer is bright and knows her own antecedents, and Miss Taylor's also. She was unbashed and spoke cheerfully: “I’m so glad to meet you. I’ve often wanted to. It's so funny, my name is Sawyer and my grandfather was a tailor, and your name is Taylor, and your grandfather was a sawyer. Mine used to make clothes for yours, and yours used to saw wood for mine.”
