not recognize her expression as a

TI 1 A UNEXPECTED WO R D.
An amusing scene was once witness
ed at Sandown says Madame.- Some ia-
dies had left their chiaks on some
chairs as a sign that they intended to
come back to them. When they .did. ,
so they found their cloaks flung on one '
chair and the other three occupied by ,
a tall, imposing lady and two men.
"Those- are our chairs," said the
spokeswoman of the evicted arty.
"We let our-cloaks on them. ( I ir.net
trouble you to give them up to us.
You have no right 4'to remove our
things."
"How . dare you speak to me like
that?" - cried the tall lady in 4 fury.
"Do yf know vho I am? I -am the
Honorable Lady. 'Frillington, I would
have yrm know."
"Oh, indeed replied the other lady
quietly but with great decision. . "I
am Lady Frederick Farliegh. rnd you 1

more vulgar woman I! never saw in ,r.y
life!" j" . ;.
The jtall lady was so, completely "over-:",

that- 'she" had nothing to say. She

they were striving to; suppress grins.
The result was that . she made off
without another-w6rd. and Iter men
followed her laughing: visibly. i
