of fashion. A Boston matron, seeing
that ho was lonely, began to make
herself "agreeable."
"You are Director Russell's little
boy, aren't you?" she asked, with
patronizing sweetness.
Master Russell resented this Intru
sion on his' dignity, but his courtly
manors wero unruflled. "Yes, mad
am," ho replied, with an elaborate
bow.
"Whoro wero you born?"
"In Franco, madam" Slightly moro
frigid.
"What part?" continued tho lady,
feeling tho conversation well started.
"All of me, madam."
And ho bowed and walked away.
