SOME LADIES OF LONG AGO.

SOME LADIES OF LONcI AGp'
 That ladies of fashion have the habit of drinking greatly to excess is a pet subject for certain type of sensa- tiona writer. "The Bottle in the Boudoir," Drunkenness in the Draw
 ng-room,' are the sort of headings that are always sure to appeal to large section of readers. The articles are generally written in q very eXag- gerated tone, but there was probably good deal of truth in somewhat simi- lar article that was written some three hundred years ago concerning the visit to England in the month of July, 1904, of that heavy drinking monarch, King Christian ". of Denmark to the court of his brother-in-law. James l. II think" wrote Sir John Harrington, that the Dane has greatly wrought on our good English nobles, for those whom I could never get to taste good liquor now follow the fashion. The la dies abandon their sobriety and are seen to roll about in intoXication."
 He describes a masque acted by the ladies of the Court of King James. The representation was of Solomon's Temple and the coming of the Queen of Sheba. The Queen" who had to bring in gifts to both their Majesties, tumbed down and upset her gifts into the lap of the royal Dane, who insisted on dancing with her, but collapsed and had to be put to bed. Then appeared in rich dresses Hope, Faith and Char ity Hope tried to speak, but wine so enfeebled her endeavors that she with drew and hoped that the King would forgive her; Faith followed her from the royal presence in staggering con- diton; Charity seems to have behaved sword and frightened the King, who fairly well; Victory had to wave a sword and frightened the King, who, ono often reads, was very nervous Of weapons; while Peace took offence in endeavoring to get up to the King, and yielded her olive branch in war like assault upon the heads of the at tendants s-Household Words.
