Many stories are told of Sothern's original methods of entertaining his friends at dinner, and possibly the most amusing is that of the belated guest When, late In the dlnnerpthls friend was announced, Mr. Sothern exclaimed, "Let us all hide under the table," and down they all went save Mr. Sothern himself, who remained seated. When the tardy guest entered, Mr. Sothern rose and received him with exquisite courtesy, saying, "When your name was announced, my guests, for some unaccountable reason, all hid under the table." After a few moments of discomfort one by one they crept out and back to their seats. I heard from both Mr. Sothern And Mrs. Vincent this account of an outburst of fun at a dinner given by him lf% 111? norlnr nf tfa ? ... |/wt?v4 uv iuc iVCTCIC UUUCJt.

Ten large, square pieces of bread were placed with mathematical precision one nt each plate, and then ha left the room to bring the wine. Mr. Sothern saw his opportunity and, calling his dog, cried: "Tiger, the bread! Quick, Tiger!" And the nimble little grayhound bounded lightly upon the table again and again as be beard his master's Imperative. "Fetch the breadV* until each piece had been removed to a dark corner near the fire. Upon the waiter's return all was silence. The expectant look upon Mr. Sotliern's face showed only that dinner was awaited. Standing for a moment, bewildered, the waiter, seeing no bread Upon the table, hesitatingly turned fo the door, then retraced his steps to the table, examined It carefully and hurriedly left the room. lie soon reappeared wKh a fresh plate of bread, and again nt each plate a piece wa9 carefully placed, and he retired wltli the empty plnte. "Quick, Tiger! Fetcb It again! More bread! More TireadJ" And once more each piece was removed before the grave waiter reappeared, and all wore again silent. One look at the table and one nt the guests, und there remained no doubt. Those poor, hungry actors had eaten It! With a look of contempt he announced dinner, and after all were Barely seated nt the table he brought a third plate of bread and wlUi a fork ? placed It, with a gesture of scorn, piece by piece for each person and for the liost.
