His Fears In Vain.

Frank R. Lawrence, president of the Lotus Club, recently related the adventure of a New Yorker who was in love, but very bashful. Finally he made up his mind to write his proposal to the young lady. After sending it, he began to worry as to the possibility of a refusal, and at last concluded to send the following telegram: “Serious mistake. Have sent you wrong letter. Please return it without reading.” He was very much relieved to receive the following reply: “Too late. No mistake. Right letter mailed. It was about time.”—New York Times.
