EN    1;O-.J I, rcntly u-as the sub-
jet of rather an amusing experience,
the result of a peculiar predicainnt
and an embarrassing situat'on. Miss Bol-
jea was in Mr. Bentham's office recently
when a duo of managers called. Rather
than inform  Miss Boljea that she wts
elrsonia non grata Mr. Bentham   said:
Come right in. This little lady is just
from Paris, and  doesn't understand a
iOrd of English."  One looked at her
with eyes of pity and the other offered
her a fabulous salary if she would sign
wit  hinm  instanter.  Their subject of
onverse was carried to a seemingly in-
trmiiiile length, and favorable and un-
favorable reiarks  about Miss   Bolica
were interpolated. Finally the little lady
trose and addressed the gentlemen in
French toi the great surpise of Mr. Ben-
tham who was unaware of Miss Boljea's
knowledge of the language.
The, olier day Miss Boljea dropped
nto Martin's. and chanced upon the two
ianagers that site  a  met at Mr. Ben-
hats offices. Signs of recogniio utwere
xehangeir, wut nkinrws ot a word was
Ipokeni  Now  Miss Eolica is wondering
