She Comes No More.

My little friend in the apartment across the hall was a studious pupil who had come to my apartment for a few hints in the execution of her studies when a mutual friend of ours who was known as a chatterbox was seen coming down the street headed for my apartment. My friend, being more anxious to spend an hour studying than talking, said, “Tell her that I am not here,” and hid in a fair sized clothes hamper, expecting the talkative party to leave in a moment or two. Forty-five minutes passed and to my horror the hidden one sneezed, while in the clothes hamper. I could barely keep from laughing; In fact, a little smile from me seemed to give away the entire proceeding. The talkative friend evidently had discovered the Intrigue, for she left immediately, and although this happened some time ago, we have never seen her since. This certainly was my most embarrassing moment.— Exchange.
