afternoon in the Levy Court room under
a writ of De Lunatico Inquirendo. Mr..
Wilson, II seems, Is possessed of pI roper ty
to the amount of 81, 800 in the town oil
Smyrna, and his family do not want him
to squander it, as he seems to have de-
sire for buying every thing he sees, when
not confined, no matter what the price.
Hence this proceeding. Several witness
es were examined who know him and
they testified as to his Insanity. DIR.
Collins, of Smyrna, said that he accom-
panied him to K,rkbrike's asylum in
1867, but that since his return he had
been better until lately, but as t. his con.

ny CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER.

by CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER.
In the great street pageanis, IL was the
beauty and wisnomeness Ofthe London
ladies, looking on, that nearly drove the
foreigners wild.
In 1906, upon the entry of the King
OF Denmark, the chronicler celebrates
''the inimaginable number Of gallant la
dies, beateous virgins and other delicate
danes, filling the windows of every
house with kind aspect" And in 1888,
when Cheapside was all alive with the
pageant as the entry Of the queen
mother, ''this miserable old queen" as
Lilly calls Marie de Medicis MIR. Furni-
vail reproduces an old cut of the scenc),
Nj. de la Serre does not try TO restrain
his admiration for the pretty women on
view only the most fecund imagination
can represent the content one has in adj
mring the infinite number of beautiful
women, each different from the other,
and each distinguished by some sweet
ness or grace to ravish the heart and lake
captive ones liberty. No sooner had he
determined to yield to one tlian new
object of admiration makes him repent
the precipitation of his judgment.
And all the other foreigners were in
the like case of ''goneness.." Kiechel,
writing in 1886, says, "Item, tn women
there are charming, and by nature so
mighty pretty as have scarcely ever
beheld, for they do not falsify, paint or
bedaub themselves as in Italy or other
places" yet he cOnfesses (and here is
another tradition preserveD "they are
somewhat awkward in Their syle of
dress" His second "item" Of gratitude
is a Netherland custom that pleased him;
whenever foreigner or an inhabitant
went into a citizens house on business
or as a guest he was received by the mas
ter, the lady, or the daughter, and "wel-
coined" (as it is termed in their Ian
guage y che has a right to take them by
the arm and kiss them, which is the GUS
tom of the country, and if auy one does
not do so, it is regarded and imputed as
ignorance and i'll breeding on his part"
Even the grave Erasmus, when he visited
England, fell easily into this pretty prac-
tice, and wrote with untheol)gical fervor
of the "girls with angel faces" who were
$50 kind and obliging." "Wherevcr you
come," he says, ''you are received with
kiss by all when you take your ave
you are dism ssed with Kisses you r-
turn, kisses are repeated. They come
to visit you, kisses again; they leave you
you kiss all around. Should they meet
you anywhere, kisses in abundance; in
fine, wherever you move there is nothing
but kisses"-a custom, says the reforner
who has not the fear of Stubbes his eyes,
'never to be sufficiently .mmended. y
