Luckily he caught them and saved them from falling on the audience in the body of the theatre. If this had happened--for every- one had noted the marvellous height of the duchess' headdress--she would have been subjected to the humilia- tion of public laughter, for no one could have restrained himself. Need- less to say, however; the Queen took vast delight in pointing out to the duchess that even though her head- dress had been higher at the begin- ning of the evening, it was far lower at the end of the evening, which gave the royal party much amusement. \ = r---- Honey bées spend the winter in their hives. / nowflake THE PFULLSTRENCTH | a Ummonia Cuts grease with less rubbing Softens water ~-- HLT IT) ond daughter, May Lily, to Arthur William Thomas Mathew, son of | Mrs." William Woodgate, Port Coi- | borne, the marriage to take place the | middle of June. | . * . . | The engagement is announced of Miss Hyacinthe Shaw, daughter of the late William Sismore Shaw, Ma- dras, and Mrs. R. 8.

For instance, there was the reply that .came back to Queen Vie- toria when she shivered at dinner and asked Stockmar to go to the master of the household to complain that the dining room was always cold. The answer was: | Ne "WITS" OF HISTORY | By MARK STUYVESANT. "You see, properly speaking, it is Mme. de Luynes sent for the valet de chambre, upholsterer of the Queen, in order that he might show it to the valet de chambre, upholster- er of the king. The latter declared that he was very sorry, but the dust did not concern him. He said that the upholsterers, to be sure, made the bed of the Queen, but that they could not touch the bed of state. That, he declared, passed as furniture when the Queen was not sleeping in it, and not our fault." For the Lord Stewart lays the fire only, and the Lord Cham- berlain lights it." Identically the same sort of dis- comfort and the same disconcerting tangle of red tape confronted Marie Antoinette when she discovered dust upon the counterpane of her bed of State. She showed it to Mme. de Luynes, we are told in the memoirs of the Duke de Richelien, ~ CORNS Lift Off with Fingers The Dust Did Not Concern Him, in this case could only concern the officers of the garde meuble, It is said that two full days were spent trying to find one who should, be- cause of his office, remove the of- fending dust, One of Marie Antoinette's fads duii- Ing one period was to wear a head- dress higher than any of the other women of the court. Qf course the Queen had a better chance to build a towerinz head-dress because at her command were the best artists in the country. It happened that the Duch- esse de Chartres had determined to outrival the Queen. Inch by inch the tolffures rose higher in this astonish. ing rivalry, The duchess was always beaten, At last, with the aid of a hair- dresser named Léonard, the duchess Invented for her own exclusive use a headdress called "Le Pouf Sentimen- tal." It was composed of numberless plumes waving at the top of a tower. Fourteen yards of gauze or lace were used with many folds and pleats sur- rounding it. The ornaments, we are told by Jackson, were two waxen fig- ures, representing the baby---who be- came King Louis Phillippe--in his nurse's arms. Beside them was plac- ed a parrot pecking at a plate of cher- | ries, and reclining at the nurse's feet Was the waxen figure of a black boy. On different parts of the edifice were the initials made of the hair of the husband, the father and the father- in-law of the fair wearer of the sen- timental coiffare. 4 To the vast delight of the duchess her coiffure proved to be two full inches higher ®an that worn by the Queen.
