A sad misfortune late befell a well-known Q.O. It is related of him that, as he was riding in a first-class railway carriage, from a single glance at the countenance of a lady at his side he imagined that he knew her, and ventured to say that the day was pleasant. She only answered “ Yes.” “ Why do you wear a veil?’ “Lest I attract gentlemen.” " It is the province of gentlemen to admire,” replied the gallant man of law, “ Not when they are married,” said the lady. “ But I am not.” 11 Indeed?” “ Oh, no! I am a bachelor.” The lady quietly removed her veil, disclosing to the astonished counsel the face of bis mother-in-law.
