Sir, – On Thursday, as I proceeded on foot for an “in office” day, I encountered a gentleman who acknowledged me in a cordial manner and asked me the time. When I responded that it was 7.25, he then wondered if it was morning or evening. As we went on our respective ways, I must confess to a slight feeling of envy. – Yours, etc,
FRANK J BYRNE,
