Rensselaer Republican, Volume 14, Number 37, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 June 1882 — An Invatation to Dine. [ARTICLE]

An Invatation to Dine.

A gentleman traveling in Holland relates this experience: “The first time I dined at tne house of the lady she said: ‘lf you will make a mark iu your serviette I will have it put aside, to be ready when you come again.’ I thanked her, and turned down the corner of my dinner napkin, wondering a little that people who bad a dinner en famille qf five courses and a lavish dessert should be so saving as to retain a guest’s serviette for another time. On my return to the house where I was staying I mentioned the circumstance, and then it was explained. It was merely a delicate way of telling me that she meant frequently to invite me again. I dined there many times, but I never saw the serviette with the folded corner any more.”—[Progress. Joseph Richey, of Knox county, Ohio, aged ninety-six, soldier of 1812, is dead.
