Trebelli the idea of making the de- scarf pin—a tiny enamel egg in a golden egg-cup—and of to a jeweler in Paris. She received the pins and presented one to each member of her company. In Russia, the jeweled egg led to a ludicrous adventure. Mme, Trebelli's knowledge of Russian was limited. At Toula, wishing to order egys for breakfast, and not know- ing the word for the article, she first tried to explain in what Russian she knew, then in several other languages, but all to no purpose. S nor Bisaccia, who was present, happened to be wearing one of the egy: pins, so Mme. Trebelli pointed to the miniature egg, and having failed in French, Italian and German, said, in English, ** Look, look !" to attract the waiter's attention. The waiter smiled, and answering ** All right," in Russian, disappeared. Breakfast was served, and he placed triumphantly before them a huge dish of fried onions!" They did not know then, but they found out later, that ** look” is the Russian word for onions. Signor Bisaccia thought he might succeed better. Goin: up to the waiter, he repeatedly pointed to his scarf-pin, and fearing to use words which might again be misunderstood, merely ejaculated : “Ah! Hum! Hum!" The man made signs that he understood, at last ; but he was gone a long time. Finally he returned with a doctor, having come to the conclusion—and certainly his interpretation did credit to his wits—that Signor Bisaccia was suffering from a bad sore throat.
