Diplomatic Intercourse.

Col. E. M. House said at a dinner In Washington: “I sometimes think that diplomacy would be more successful if It were more truthful and frank. The way some diplomats treat one another, they don’t get any nearer to real, helpful intercourse than the two celerities did. . “Two celebrities, one a stntterer and the other were introduced at a tea. After the tea the stuttering celebrity was asked how he and the deaf one had got on. “‘Oh; we got on fine,’ he answered. ‘I couldn’t tark and he couldn’t hear me.’”
