Beferring to an Bast India oolonel who lately reported a London policeman to the chief commissioner for addressing the colonel's wife as a 'woman,' Mr Labouchere recalls two good old anecdotes j one of the preacher who said, ' Who were last at the cross t —Ladies! Who were first at the aepulohre?—Ladies!' and the other of the Irish sentry when a woman wished to pass him; He told her that no one could go by. ' You do not know who I am,' she said; ' I am the colonel's lady.* «Very aorry, ma'am,' replied the sentry, 'but I could not allow yon to pass even if you were the colonel's wife.'
