History of Pocket Handkerchiefs.

from Woman'S Life.
Until the reign Of the Empress Jo-
sephine a handkerchief was thought in
France so shocking an object that a
lady would never have dared to use it
before any one, The word, even, was
carefully avoided in refined conversa-
ton. An actor who would have used
a handkerchief on the stage, even in
the most fearful moments of the play,
would have been numerically Kissed
and 1t was only in the beginning of the
present century that a celebrated ac-
trcss, Mile. Duchesnois, dared to ap-
pear with a handkerchief in her hand.
Having TO speak of this handkerchief
in the course of the piece, she never
could summon enough courage to call
it by its true name, but referred to it
as "a light tissue"
\ few years later a translation OF
one of Shakespeare's plays, by Alfred
de Nigny, having been acted, the word
| handkerchief was used for the first
| time on the stage, amid cries OF in
! dgnation from every part of the house.
1t is doubtful II even today French
! ladies would carry handkerchefs II the
wife Of Napoleon ] had not given the
signal or adopting them.
The Empress Josephine, although
really lovely, had bad teeth. To con-
ceal them she was in the habit OF car
| ryng small handkerchiefs, adorned
| with costly laces, which she constantly
raised gracefully TO her lips. OF course
all the ladies of the court followed her
| example, and handkerchiefs then rap
| idly became an important part OF the
| feminine toilet.
