BLESS you, MY CHILD.
Pail Mali Gazette

A pleasant story, which does credit to
the sentiment of French theatre goers,
is told by NJ. Legrove in a recently pub
lished volume on Malibran. The violent
temper Of Malibrans father Garcia,
caused severe quarrel, which resulted
in the separation OF father and da 'ghter.
The breach had already lasted several
years when one evening the opera Othello
was produced in the Theatre ltalien. with
Garcia III the role OF Othello and Malll-
bran in that OF Destlemonn., The daugh-
ter, as usual, was admirable in the part,
and the father, unwilling to be outdone.
became once more the Garcia Of his best
years. The success was complete, and
the enthusiasm necessitated the hasty
rising of the curtain after it had fallen
on tho first act. Desdcmonia was dis
covered almost MS black ns Othello.
Moved by the ovation in which both had
shared, Mallibran had thrown herself in-
to the arms of her father and in the em-
braces which ensued Garcia had Imprint
ed upon her features some Of the dye
which stained his own. NJ. Legrovc was
present on the occasion, and he says nc
one in tie theatre thought Of laughing
The audience immediately understood
tho affecting nature of the incident, and
ignoring nu that was grotesque in it
they npplauacd with transport the tathei
and daughter, reconciled by their art

HISTORY OF GLOVES.

Skins with hair on were frequently
used IN the middle ages, as, according to.
the passage Of MVsonians quoted b,
Casauton, :ley had been by tile ancients
Inny are frequently mentioned as having
been worn by husbandmen in England.
Casaubon notes the circumstance that
the rustics OF our day made use of gloves
There is nothing in that passage to show
tEat he was speaking of this country; he
may, very possibly, have seen it in
France. In England, at any rate, "the
monastery OF Bury allowed its servants
two pence apiece for glove silver in au-
tumn" (Peggo Misc. Carp, and at later
date, i'll LanehaIn's account OF the enter
tainment OF Queen Elizabeth at Kenil-
worth Castle, 1876, the rural bridegroom
had IA payr of harvest gloves as u sign OF
good husbandry." Upon the coronation
OF Petrarch at Rome rs the "prince OF
poets" gloves OF otter skin were put ou his
hands, the satirical explanation being
given that the poet, like the otter, lives
tour-and-twenty has had its prototype,
for in, the fourteenth century
the nobility OF Franco began to
wear gloves reaching to the
elbow. These gloves, at times, like the
more familiar stockings, which they must
have much resemblcd, used as purses
Notwithstanding their length, it was al.
ways looked upon as decorous for the
laity to take off their gloves in church,
where ecclesiastics alone might wear
them. The custom still obtains IN the
church OF England ut the sacrament,
though it is plain that had it not arisen
in this connection in the first instance,
since in the Roman ritual the commune
cant does not handle the consecrated
wafer. 1t was, perhaps, regarded as Il
proof and symbol Of clean hands, for to
arc compelled to remove their gloves.
tion between this feeling and a
judges to wear gloves while sitting on the
bench. The gloves of the judges were.
like ethose Of the bishops, mark of their
rank. The portraits OF the judges paint
ed by order of the corporation OF Lon
don, in the reign of Charles II, and hang
ing i'll the courts ut Guildhall, represent
them with fringed and embroidered
gloves. 1t was probably not in reference
TO the judges TINT cant term for q bribe

as More was chancellor, he happened to
determine cause in favor OF a lady NAM
de Cronker, who displayed her gratitude
by sending him new years gift with for
ty angels in them. Sir Thomas returned
the money with the following letter:

manners to refuse your gift. l am content
