Max O'Rell's Favourits Story.

%HERE DID THE AMERICAN SPEND SUNDAY?

My husband's favourite anecdote, says Mrs Blouet in Answers, is one thmt turns upon his favourite subject— the amazing ignorance of one nation concerning another. He tells the story in this way :—

18 Being invited to tak« part in a Meeting convened la a church in an important American town for the purpose of discussing ho* Sunday should be spent,, I consented to go not to tel! the meeting bow the Sabbath ought to be paesed, but to say a few words about kow it is spent in Paris.

" The proceedings opened with prayer, after which followed an anthem. When it was over an influential inhabitant of the town roae and ascended the pulpit stairs.

"From that commandirg eminence he proceeded to attack &li non- SabbatariarsSj specially singling out nay compatriots—'l spent one Sunday in Paris, and was ehocktd at the sights of low immorality everywhere.'

c< I had never heard my poor, dsar country pitched is to so. The speaker glared at me as I sat quite harmless in my pew.

" When he had said his say I was asked to speak, and never did I feel more eager to be heard.

" Having reached the exalted ros trusa, I told the congregation how sorry I was that their townsman should have bad such a bad time in Paris, but I thought that had he spent Sunday in some respectable place he would have been spared all those shocks. Pulling a very long face and picking out Mr John son (for euch was his name) with my eye, ' Where did my friend spend that Sunday in Paris?" I asked. *In the Louvre, that is crowded with Parisians of &H grades every Sunday—honest folk who feast their eyes on glorious creations of the great masters? He would have seen no immorality there, there are concerts every Sunday afternoon, where music by the best musicians is listened to with rapt Attention by masses of quiet, respect able Parisians,

' Did your friend patronise one of these concerts, he would have seen no immorality there. Where did he go ? We all know that great whites have (heir blacc spots, and if you make careful inquiries you can find them out, bo doshfe. It is evident to me that oar friend did not spend that Sunday ia church, though we have churches in Paris. Where did he go?'

11 came down from the pulpit, while about twenty men, forgetting, I am afraid, that they were in church, rose in their teats, and asked, ( Well, Mr Johnson, where did you go ?'

• Three years later I again visited that American city and I was told that Mr Johnson decided to try for election to the Senate, and one day after he had been addressing a meeting of the eleo tors, these latter were aaked if there were any questions they would like to pat to the candidate. From a hundred pair of lips at once came the question, * Where did you spend that Sunday in Paris V'

Mrs Vicar : Now, I want you to promise you'll come to church next Sunday, Mrs Grubbing; we have a beautiful new organ, *nd I shall want yon to tell me what you think of it)

Mrs Grubbing: Oh, no ! Indeed I coaldn'bi I never trouble myself with the like of they things. You Bee I ar'n't no sort at good at) danoin'

''Whatever became of thab plain Jenkins girl I" asked the man who had been away fora long time—'Maggie Je: kin»,you know —the one with a face like a dream that; makes you glad it watn'fe to when you wake np ?' 'Maggie Jenkins f replied the old friend. 'Oh I married her. Come in. Maggie, here'a somebody wants to see you. 1 Every woman under thirty believes she Is an actress, and every aotresa believes she is under thirty.
