Gave Him an Idea.
Pardon me, madam, said the studiouslooking man in the sixth row of seats, as he leaned forward at the fall of the curtain on the first act and spoke politely to the lady sitting in front of him, ‘ but I beg you will not remove your hat.' Sir ! she exclaimed, flushing with indignation. I fancied from the motions of your hands, he resumed, with the utmost suavity, that you were about to remove it. Please do not. Oblige me, dear madam, by keeping it on. You are grossly impertinent, sir ! said the lady, sharply. I beer your pardon, madam, he replied, with great earnestness. I am not. I am only a poor inventor, and I am making a drawing of your hat as a design for a new style of lighthouse.
