Of tint, form, and motion His portraits were
graceful, half vo,uptuous outline 81 form and
feature hArmonized with deiicately blendid
ttnts. On his CANVAS, the tomeliest fsces had
an almost irresistible charm. The other found
pleasure only In depicting weird and gioomy
subjects Above al, did he excel I'm painting
desth-throe, the CHASTITY face and form, were
all depicted with marvellous fidelity. There
existed between these artists the most intense
dislike. At length this dislike eliminated.
The beauty-lOving artist had been engaged In
painting the portrait Of . beautiful woman.
Connoisseurs pronounced IL the most wonder-
ful piece OF Art that had ever been produced.
His brother artist was jealous Of his fame and
sought revenge. BY bribing the keeper Of the
studio he gained access TO the picture each
night. At first he was content To only desden
the brilliancy Of The complexion ard ewes,
efface the bloom from cheek and lip and paint
q shadow on either cheek. Later, his strokes
grew holder and freer, and one morning the
artist awOke to find the entire outline Of the
portrait changed. He could scarcely recog-
Dize In the emaciated form aud haggard coun-
tenance the glowing conception he had embod-
led; III pallid face and expressionless eyes
he had attributed 10 . lack OF genuineness ia
his Materials; but when the outlines were
changed he suspected the cause and Indignantly
dismissed the keeper. What the revengefnl
artist marred by a few rapid strokes of his
skillful brush was Only restored by years Of
patient industry. ReaGer, need we name the

The Fashions In the Time of Louis
XIV.


There was but little change in the
general character of the fashions under
Louis XIV, and the ladies continued to
wear such low dresses that one of the
priests in Paris wrote a book denounc-
ing the practice, being followed by
Able Boileau, a brother of the poet
who published a work on the Abuses
of Nudity" These efforts were made
to no purpose; but Madame de Main
tenOn was more successful, and her
habit of wearing black lace upon her
shoulders was generally followed. In.
the sixteenth century. the public baths,
which had been opened fifty years be-
fore. gave rise to such scandals that the
police had been compelled to close
them. and the only baths then existing
were those in the hotels Of wealthy
persons and the river baths used in the
summer. The result was that at the
beginning of Louis XIV. reign the use
Of baths had gone entirely out of fash
ion; water ws replaced by perfumes,
