ters Of Great Britain, says the London
"Queen," yet the nurse wears a far more
striking badge of servitude'' IN her neat
head, and glories in it. Why is this? Be-
cause it is the recognized mark Of a
highly trained class. In the same way
were the cap of the maid servant, a badge
of her standing in a respectable family,
it would soon cease to be a cause of dis
grace, as in many cases 1t is nowadays.

On Friday, August "a, 1856, Queen Vic

passed down the Champs Elysees on her
way to the Champ de Mars, where a re-
view was to be held in her honor. An
English nobleman, running up the Rue
| Beaujon to join the cab waiting for him
there, ran against Beranger, then living
in the same street. The aged poet SEEM

asked him the reason of his haste. Il

women blush about the ears rather than
