Hansons for Pride. f There wax present at a certain big dinner in England ..many 'years ago an American woman of prominence who was somewhat annoyed by a tactless Englishwoman who. undertook to ban ter her and who said: . "I take it for granted that you have no coats of arms in your new coun try .:'"', '. Of course no American family could have one unless it was borrowed from English ancestry," replied the former American. ; , "For instance, has your family any especial cause for pride over your grandfather?" persisted this particu larly tactless female cad. Then the American woman opened up and replied as calmly as possible nnder the circumstances, "Not much perhaps, only that my grandfather on my mother's side received Burgoyne's word -when he surrendered at Sara toga and my grandfather on my fa ther's side received the sword of Corn wallls at Yorktown."
