This notice, says Harper*!
Weekly, appeared exactly as
follows in an English newspaper
published in a town not far froir
London.
"Will the girl who helped f
lady with a leg down a coal hob
on Sunday afternoon between !
and 4 o'clock please call at No
street?''
The mere American reader
unused to English ways, wil
wonder what the "lady*' wantei
down the coal hole, and when
her other leg was; or did the la'
ter belong to the other "party?'
The notice is ambiguous.
