How SIMATORS ARE MADL—Ica her boudoir
there was not • speck of gilding ; that would have been
bad taste, she raid. Around the mirrors, framed in white
polished wood, creeping plants were trained so that the
tropical flowers fell over and were reflected in the glass.
There was a fire, fed with cedar-wood chips ; and the
erbium velvet curtains oe each side of the grate bad per.
fumes quilted within their white silk linings. The window.
curtsies were trimmed with point lace. We went through
a little ante-chamber to Madame de —'s bedroom—an
oblong room, with her bed tilling up half the space on ate
side ; the other all wardrobe, with six or seven doors,
covered with looking-glass, and opening into as many
closets. After we had admired the rare Missy ware, the
lace &species of the mirror, the ornaments on thetoilKte-
table, and the pink silk curtains of the bed, she laughed
ber little soft laugh, and told me that now I should see ow
she amused hers se she lay in bed of • morning : and
pulling something like • ball-rope which hum; at the head
of her bed, the closet doors flew open, and displayed gowns

ieg, with the appropriate head-dresses, chausimrea, and
gloves lying by them. " I have not many goyim," said she.
Ido -sot like having too many, for I
alter they ore • month old ; I give them to my maid thee,
for I never wear &twilling that is old.fashioned.'

touch oat of the way of anything I had ever Seen before ae
had expected. But to go on with the hearing she bad upon
the Pricoe de la Ligee's letter, I must not forget to say
that Madame de expressed very strong pdlitioal
opinions, and all distinctly anti•Bonapartean. Among other
things she mentioned was the fart that whet her husband
west to pay his respects, ae a renumber of the Academy of

him to me their carriage (nor indeed was he willies to do
it, but went in • hackney coach), saying that the arms of
the De —a should never be seen in the courts of an usurper.
Two years afterwards I came to Paris. and I inquired after
M. and Madame de —. To my infinite surprise, I heard
that he had become • senator, one of that body who receive
about a thousand pounds • year from government, and who
are admitted to that dignity by the express will of the E.
perm. How in the world could at have wine about! And
madame, too. at all the halls and receptions at the Tiiilerks.
The arms of the De were no longer invisible is the
