AN ADMIRABLE WOMAN.

The Confession of the Ugly and Unat-
tractive Duchess of Orleans.
Perhaps no lady was ever better rec
onciled to positive ugliness in her own
person than the Duchess of Orleans,
the mother of the Regent D'Orleans,
who governed France during the mi
nority Of Louis XIV. Thus she speaks
of her own appearance and manners:
'From my earliest years 1 was aware
how ordinary my appearance was, and
did not like that people should look at
me attentively. 1 never paid any at
tention to dress, because diamonds and
dress were sure to attract attention.
On great days my hus band used to
make me rouge, which l did greatly
against my will, as hate every thing
that incommodes me. One day I made
the Countess scissors laugh heartily.
She asked me why never turned my
head whenever passed before mir.
ror-everyb body else did. ANSWERED,
because l had too much self-love to
bear the sight of my own ugliness. J
must have been very ugly in my youth.
had no sort or features; with little
twinkling eyes, a short snub nose, and
long thick lips, the whole of my physi.
ognomy was far from attractive. MY
face was large, with fat cheeks. and
my figure was short and stumpy; in
short, was very homely sort OF per.
son. Except for the goodness of my
disposition no one would have endured
me. 1t was impossible to discover any
thing like intelligence in my eyes, ex.
cept with microscope. Perhaps there
was not on the face of the earth such
another pair of ugly hands as mine.
The King often told me so, and set me
laughing about it; for as was quite
sure of being very ugly. l made up my
mind to be always the first to laugh a.
it. This succeeded very we'll, though
I must confess it furnished me with
good stock of materials for laughter
