The golden hours on angel wings,

For dear to me, as lignt and life,

The Rise Of the handkerchief

Until the reign of the Empress Jo-
sephine, handkerchief was thought
in France SO shocking an object that a
lady would never have dared to use it
before any one. The word even was
carefully avoided in refined conversa-
tion. An actor who wsuld have used
handkerchief On the stage, even in
the most fearful moment of the play.
would have been numerically hissed;
and it was only in the beginning of the
present century that celebrated ac
tress, Duchenoise, dared to appear with
handkerchief in her hand. Having
to speak of this handkerchief in this
piece she could never summon
enough courage to call it by its true
name, hut referred to it as light It's
sue.
A few years later translation of
Shakespeare's plays, by Alfred de Wig
ny, having been acted, the word hand
kerchief was used for the the first
time on the stage amid cries Of indig-
nation from great part of the house.
II is doubtful that even to-day French
elegantes would carry handkerchief
if the wife of Napoleon I. had not
given the signal for adopting them.
The EmpressJosephine, although really
lovely, had ugly teeth. To conceal
them she was in the habit of carrying
small handkerchiefs, adorned with
costly laces, which she continually
raised to her lips. OF course all the
ladies of the court followed her exam
pie, and handkerchiefs have rapidly
become an important and costly palt
of the feminine toilet so much SO
that the price of single handkerchief
of the trosseau of the Duchess of Edin-
burgh would make the fortune of a ne
cessitous family.

sisted of Messrs Foster, Phelps, and

animously recommended by the entire

truthful statements contained in ii

unfavorable light before the country,
that the remainder of the committee
