He knew he was brilliant, he realized that he was beautiful and he was thoroughly convinced that the majority of the women who dined at his establishment were very much in love with him. There was one lady with whom he was particularly impressed, a Mrs. May Maverick, but was not only beautiful, but a prominent figure in society. The head waiter paid her all the court he could and dreamed of the day when he might he on the level of the quality with her. One eventful day when she dropped in to luncheon, he believed that his dream had come true, for she gazed at him approvingly and finally slipped him her visiting card with the instruction, "Call this evening at eight." The head waiter called, arrayed in his best and convinced that he made a conquest. He was surprised when she summoned other members of her family to look him over, and dumbfounded when he discovered that he had been summoned for business reasons, and not for love. The society leader needed a new butler, and had picked out the headwaiter as the man for the place. It was a terrible shock to him, but one disappointment cannot destroy the faith of a head waiter in his own ability, and in a very short time he was as proud and self-important as he ever had been before.
