Two Introductions Necessary.

A Nashville (Tenn.) paper describes a little incident thus: “ One of Nashville’s brightest and most sensible young ladies was busily engaged a few mornings since in making a cake. She donned a calico dress and pinned a flaming red shawl about her shoulders, fastened her heavy brown hair in a coil on the top of her head, and had Just plunged her hands into the dough when the door-bell rang. She happened to be the only one in the house at the time, and so was forced to answer the bell herself, which she did after hastily washing her hands, and was horrified at discovering her visitor to be a spruce young gentleman friend add three stranger gentlemen. An embarrassing introduction took place, the visitors were seated in the parlor, and then the young lady excused herself, to reappear in a few moments in a costume better suited to the parlor. Durhsg her absence she made such a complete transformation in her appearance that she was mortified at finding her stranger visitors did not recognize her, thus rendering a second introduction necessary, which ceremony the Nashville young man performed by saying: ‘She is the same young lady we met fit the door, genii* njeg-the yery same ymrng lady.’ *»
