The servant of-the newly married wife of a Berlin banker had remarked that regularly every afternoon, in the absence of Frau—s husband, a shabby-looking individual, ugly, ill-bred and suspicious, called at the house and remained closeted with her mistress for an hour. Suspecting some intriguo, she one day listened at the keyhole, and was horrified to heara voice say, " Kisa me," and another apparently replying ts the tender invitation by playfully exclaiming "Oh you Don Juan I You good-for-nothing!"
