HIS CHILLY RECEPTION.
Mark Twain’* Visitor When ths Hu
morist Was Absentminded.
Abseutmindedness was characteristic
of Mark Twain. He lived so much in
the world within that to him the mate
rial outer world was often vague and
shadowy.
Once when he was knocking the
balls about in the billiard room
George, the colored butler, a favorite
and privileged household character,
brought up a card. So many canvass
ers came to sell him one thing and an
other that Clemens promptly assumed
this to be one of theta George insist
ed mildly, but firmly, that though a
stranger the caller was certainly a
gentleman, and Clemens grumblingly
descended the stairs.
A« he entered the parlor the caller
rose and extended his hand. Clemens
took it rather limply, for he had no
ticed some water colors and engrav
ings leaning against the furniture as if
for exhibition, aud he was instantly
convinced that the caller was a pic
ture canvasser.
Inquiries by the stranger as to Mrs
Clemens and the children did not
change Mark Twain's conclusion. He
was polite, but unresponsive, and grad
ually worked the visitor toward the
front door. An inquiry ms to the home
of Charles Dudley Warner caused the
caller to be shown eagerly in that di
rection.
Clemens, on the way back to the
billiard room, beard Mrs. Clemens call
him—she was ill that day.
’•youth!”
"Yes, Livy." He went in for a word.
’’George brought me Mr. B.'s card.
I hope you were nice to him: the
B.'s were so nice to us once in Lurope
while you were gone.”
“The B.’s? Why, Livy!”
“Yes, of course, and I asked him to
be sure to call when he came to Hart
ford!"—Albert Bigelow I’aiue in St-
Niebolas.
LET HIM MAKE THE SALAD.
And Let Him Hunt For the Ingredients,
Too, Says a Woman.
Newspaper comment to the contrary,
there still remain a few accomplish
ments in which a man may excel a
woman, and, oddly enough, one of these
Is salad making! Indeed, there deems
to be In the masculine character, psy
chologically speaking, it may be sup
posed, something that makes the con
cocting of salads a man's special gen
lus in the way of humble skill.
You know the requirements for a good
maker of salads—“A miser for vine
gar, a spendthrift for oil and a mad
man to do the mixing.”
And there you have it A woman Is
too careful, too considerate, too con
ventional, too much hampered by de
tails But give a masculine lover of
good salads congenial company, fun
liberty In the use of oil, vinegar and
pepper and the freedom of your re
frigerator, and you may trust him to
produce a masterpiece.
First of all, your salad master enjoys
the making of his dish. He puts into
it the conviviality of good comradeship
and the zest of adventure. He much
prefers an exploring expedition In
search for his ingredients and some
dubious uncertainty as to the result of
his efforts to a cut and dried sureness
of means and methods. The result is
a surprise which, as we all know, is
one of the first aids toward good appe
tite.
Next, a man does not want culinary
folderols. He is hungry, and he wants
bis salad to furnish him something to
eat, so he puts into it plenty of oil and
good substantial vegetables and green
things. He likes to eat, he likes adven
ture and uncertainty: he likes piquancy
and pepper; he likes a vigorous way
of doing things. Ix-t him make your
salads.—Anne Rankin in Southern Wo
man’s Magazine.
