Not Worth $10.

An American unused to court etiquette was invited just before the war, says Collier’s, to dine with a German prince. A glittering flunky presented a silver plate to him just before the hors d’oeuvres were served. He blushed, fumbled in his pocket, then said to himself, “I have nothing but a $lO note, but I don’t think any German dinner is worth $10," so he let ttie plate pass. He then discovered that the plate was intended to receive the white gloves that he ought to have worn! —Boston Post.
