A high society lady in Chicago invited Fritz Kreisler, the great of years ago violinist, to play at her party. She asked his fee. He said $3,000. She accepted, adding, "But of course, it is understood that you will refrain from mixing with my guests." Kreisler wrote back, "In that case, madam, the fee will be only $2,000."
