IL may amuse some of your fair readers to know
something OF the nature Of those tours, as the
French term them, which served to vile away the
celebrated wife Of the Emperor while soOnrning at
PlombieIes. One was the Glazing jewel Of value
unoer a cup OF porcelain, which was inverted on a
saucer. Each lady was 10 take it in her hand and
throw il to the gentleman rhe arbest from her. and
II he caught it without the cup separating from the
saucer and the vel escaping, the prize belonged TO
her. The galantry of The proceeding Is that the
lady is never af fault, though she lose the ewelled
guerdon 1t is the gentleman who fails TO catch the
flying porcelain, under the prescribed conditions,
who has robbed her Of her reward, and not her own
maladIoness Simple as this little tour de force seems,
it serves 10 create an immense deal Of fun. Some
times go unskilfuy would it be despatched towards
the intended cavalier that it divided as it were
spontaneously into three parts, and the cup, the
saucer and the jewel were all 10 the air at once 10

d,s tiny Of the LADY depended; sometimes the lady
performed her part TO the life, but the TREMBLING
fingers Of the cavalier spoilt all, and sometimes the
grasp he gave them was SO fOrcible and stringent
that the fragile porcelain gave way under the EN-
brace, whtn other vessels called for, and the
game was alive again. The Emperor took his full
share In the pastMe and incurred also his full share
Of Ieproaches il he failed to execute his expected
de,our, but his Majesty plays his part remarkably
well on such occasions, and seldom failed ia respond
iGg, II the lady cast her missile with anything like
exac.itude.

cesses played !, with as much 2usto as though they
