Potted on Autograph*.
During an Interval in London W. CL
Scully, so he tells In “Further Rem
iniscences of a South African Pioneer/’
had rooms in Pimlico with a landlady
of snobbish tendencies, who made a
cult of “superior persons. Lie tells
this amusing experience:
“I had been for a short visit to I
Rudyard Kipling at Rottingdeau and
had brought back a bunch of roses
from his garden Seeing that Mrs
Wand was so proud of her celebrities. ,
1 thought I would let her kuow that I, j
too, knew a celebrity, so when she
came to set the breakfast table next i
morning I pointed to the flowers and j
said:
‘There. Mrs. Wand, you would nev*
or guess where these roses (‘ame from, j
They came from the garden of the
great Mr. Kipling*
“‘Mr. Kipling? Oo’s *e?'
“ ‘Good gracious!* 1 exclaimed. ‘Sure
ly you know who Mr Kipling is. Why.
his autograph is worth a guinea?'
••Mrs. Wand left the room without re
plying. She returned a few minutes
later with a look of skepticism on her
face and, as she put down the toast
rack, remarked: #
•• ‘Well, ’e ought to be good lookin at
that’ ”
The Oldest Epigram.
An epigram must pass through many
hands and get much polishing before it
is a perfect Jewel. You may remem
ber. says the London Chronicle, how
Oscar Wilde sent »on the stage) the
man of the world through the drawing
room door with the epigram, “There is
one thing I never could resist; that is
temptation” But you may trace It
from the garden of Eden, where the
masculine plea for mercy was that the
‘•woman tempted me.”
