Theophile Gaultier has just published in Paris
• &newly written treatise called "La Made," forming a
little book about five or six inches square, containing only
just thirty-three pages, each page being of only • dcaen
lines coquettishly framed inside white margins, and bordered
by one small streak of red. In this little volume M. Gaultier
raises his voice in favour of paint " With the instinct of
harmony which characterises them, women," observes
he, "have felt that between their dazzling conven-
tional dress, between la grand toilette and their
own plain beauty of face and feature (unassisted), there was
a dissonance, the whitish skin looking greyish by the side of
their shining moires and sating ; they hays done as painters
do in order to harmonise the various shades of complexion
and draperies; they have untlertskeu to whiten the skin na-
ture gave them till it should be in keeping with the inasest
of rich white stuffs whereby they eaahroud their person►."
When ones this necessity of spplying white to the female
skin has been admitted, the rest follows : the white is too
white, a tinge of rest, colour on the cheeks relieves it, and a
deliuste streak of black under the eye-hushes gives brililancy
to the eye ; and in this wise we are brought to the
apology of paint.
The Cambridge Independent hears " with more

We (4thentrum) understand that Mr. Thomas
Woolmer, whose tine statue of the Poet Laureate wai exhi-
bited some two years ago, has executed in marble a bust of
Mojait Brooke, the hero of learawak. The features are true,
'lsar, bold, and might be those of a noble Roman. An
admirable bust of the Roe. E. F. Maurice has also been me-
ea& d in the same studio.
