Tho latest cklz® in. Paris is tlio jig-ss.tr puzzle (savs the last issue of "M.A.P.'*). And a noble lady, who is a fervent jigsawist, had a fright whioh she is not likely .to forget. Madame la Duchesso has a new butler. Tho man is an cxcollent servant, but he has rather a forbidding face, ajid his mistress, who is easily^friglitened—she is an elderly woman —was a little nervous of him. The other afternoon JI. le Duo was ill, and the Duchesse, who had been sitting up with him, kept herself awake icith one of her favourite puzzles. Sho went to bed, leaving the puzzle unfinished on the drawing-room table. At four o'clock "in the morning she woke, startled into wakefulness by a light tap at her door. She thought immediately that her husband was worse. "Who is it? What is it?" she cried. The voice of Baptiste, the hiitier, answered: . "It's all right, Madame la Duchesse, it's all over and finished." The Duchesse rushed out into the passage, "You don't mean to say my husband's ■dead?" she said. "No, no, Madame la Duchesse," said Baptiste. "I have finished the puzzle."
