II fail to recount you q story in a few
hundred words as fun Of tragic suggestive
ness as MY Last Duchess that rnarye.-
Gus iife-hlstory told In fifty-seven lines
then am to blame. and not the story.
One OF the most prominent figures on the
supreme bench OF Louisiana in ante-bellurn
days was a certain Judge B., whose locale
was the parish Of 81. Landry. The Judge
was man OF old-school elegance. his wife
was one OF the most brilliant women of her
day In the state. Their ST. Landry home
was noted for the elegance OF its appoint.
ments no less than for the grandeur Of its
hospitality. Their entertainments were
noted throughout the country side More
than one whste-haired man prominent in
iatter-day Louisiana politics can tell you
that he proposed to his wife at q ball a.
Judge BIS. and If you should care to
know. the wife can describe the elegant
gowns all the ladies. and particularly Mrs
b. wore On that occasion. These would
make pleasant stories. I am to tell you
one Of another sort.
Upon a certain occasion Judge B. gave
a dinner to the bar of st. Landry. When
the guests arrived they found everything
awaiting their reception. In the drawing
room a bright wood fire glowed behind
polished brasses: waxen tapers cleaned
from silver candelabra to be multiplied
and reflected again and again from sur
rounding mirrors. The Judge greeted them
with his usual magnificent courtesy OF
manner. while his wife. attired In a trail
ing gown Of black velvet and rare old lace.
with diamonds sparkling from her hair and
her throat and her hands, seemed more
than ever brilliant. beautirui and gracious.
When presently a slave held the door open
and ushered their guests into the dining
hall. the elegance OF the occasion seemed
complete. Snowiest linen. frailest china,
brightest crystal. most polished silver,
adorned the board. With that rare grace
which was at all times her Distinguishing
charm. Mrs. B. dished the soup from the
steaming silver urn her brilliant wit and
clever reparfee sointillating the while. As
each guest was served his glance fell upon
a plate Of paiest amber liquid with tiny.
indistingushable bits of something float
ing therein.
Finally the hostess lifted her spoon and,
with a graceful wave Of ner hand. gave
the signal to begin. There was q smile up
on her parted lips as she said.
Gentlemen. have prepared a new soup
for your delectation today. trust II may
please your paiates. Should you like the
recipe can tell you II is made from the
cowhiae with which Judge B. whipped me
this morning.
How do you like my story, mesdames.
