Toot. A wealthy lady had issued invita tions for a dinner party of twelve, and on the morning of the appointed day, when conferring with her head servant, she discovered that one of the twelve silver shells, in which scalloped oysters were to be served, had been misplaced. Rigid search for the missing article haying proved unavailing, the lady d - cided that, sooner than give up that particular course, she would simply de cline oysters when they were handed her, and so the eleven shells would be sufficient. But when the'seryant handed her the oysters at dinner she was interested in conversation, and mechanically took them. If the servant's heart fell in conster nation at this, he gaye no external sign of it, bat, speaking in terms distinct though low, said, respectfully : Excuse me, madam, but you said I was to remind you that the doctor for bade you eatiug oysters.' His mistress laughed, and returned the oysters, saying (in explanation to her guests: 'I am so absent minded that I have to engage Thomas to remember things for me sometimes,' which, indeed, was lit erally true. Afterwards the lady told the story against herself, as a striking instance of tact on the part of her servant.
