A Harmless Visitor
    
    
      AT a meeting of the Golden League of Mystery a Woman was 
    discovered, writing in a note-book.  A member directed the 
    attention of the Superb High Chairman to her, and she was asked to 
    explain her presence there, and what she was doing.
    
      "I came in for my own pleasure and instruction," she said, "and was 
    so struck by the wisdom of the speakers that I could not help 
    making a few notes."
    
      "Madam," said the Superb High Chairman, "we have no objection to 
    visitors if they will pledge themselves not to publish anything 
    they hear.  Are you - on your honour as a lady, now, madam - are 
    you not connected with some newspaper?"
    
      "Good gracious, no!" cried the Woman, earnestly.  "Why, sir, I am 
    an officer of the Women's Press Association!"
    
      She was permitted to remain, and presented with resolutions of 
    apology.
