At tue theatre OF the Varieties there is
an actress, one of the best in Paris, who

plorably thin-we might almost say
scrawny. A short time since, she heard Of
doctor. who, it is saic, had succeeded in
manufacturing a mineral water which had
the power of making people grow fat. She
went to him instantcr.
"Doctor," said she, what must do to
get fat?'
Take my waters
Sand shall get fat ?"
~''Immediately',
The thin actress plunged into the doc
tors baths, and drank the water early ard
late. Three months passed away, but she
grew no fa'ter. At last she called the doc

= At these words the thin actress rose from
her warm bath, dressed herself, and with
heart divided by grief and Indignation,
silently left the house, hoping. however, to
keep her miSfortunes n secret but in Paris
