crous character Included in the procession were
several tableaux, one of which. representing
'womans rights" consisted of three disconso-
late husbands who were attending to household
affairs while their wives were absent at the
elections. One was in the act of administering
pap to an infant, while the other two were
washing and ironing.

pants did not leave for their homes until the
sun had well-nigh risen this morning.

don, Soderini went on the stage and said
to him. Allow me, dear sir, to intro
duce myself to you; you are the dearest
friend have upon earth; let me thank
you a thousand times for the happiness
you have conferred ON me by coming
among us; command me in any way, for
whatever | do for you / can never suf-
fciently repay you" The ballet master,
who had never seen or heard of Soderini
before, was astonished; at last he said,
Pray sir, to what peculiar piece Of
good fortune may | attribute the COM
pliments and professions with which you
favor me2" TO your unparalleled ugli-
ness, my dear sir, replied Soderini
for, before your arrival, / was consid-
cred the ugliest man in Great Britain. 4"

he really was so ugly took the joke in
good part, and they became extremely
intimate; but amiable as they we're to
each other, they were universally known
