His Lady's Tresses.

Sarah, the first duchess Of Marlbor-
ough, whose tempestuous character
lacked many of the ordinary graces of
womanliness, was yet sincerely loved
by the two persons who knew her
best-her husband the Duke of Marl-
borough, and the good Queen Anne.
Among the many pictures which Mr..
Fitzgerald Molloy, the biOgrapher of
the duchess. incorporated in his Life"
is one which is not only lively, but
charming:
On the death of the duke the duchess
found, in a cabinet where he kept all
that he most valued, mass of her
hair. Years before when he had
thwarted her in something she resoly-
ed to mortify him, and, knowing that
her beautiful and abundant hair was a
source of pride and delight to him, she
had it cut off.
The shorn tresses were left in room
through which the duke must pass and
in place where he must see them, for
whatever Marlboroughs lady did she
did thoroughly. But he came and went,
saw and spoke to her and showed nei-
Their anger, sorrow nor surprise.
When he next quilted the house, she
ran to see her tresses, but they had
disappeared, and on consulting her
looking glass she saw how foolish a
thing she had done. But she said moth
ing about her shorn locks, nor did the
duke. She never knew what had be-
come of them until, after the death Of
the duke, she found them among those
things which he had held most pre-

Odd wedding Rings.

Speaking of wedding rings, we learn
that these important symbols have not
always been manufactured from the
precious metal gold. We are told that
in lieu of a ring the church key has
often been used, and Walpole tells Of
an instance where a curtain ring was
employed The Duke of Hamilton fell
so violently in love with the younger Of
the celebrated Misses Cunning at q
party in Lord Chesterfield's house that
two days after he sent for a parson to
perform the marriage ceremony, but as
the duke had neither license nor ring
the clergyman refused to act.
Nothing daunted, Hamilton declared
he would send for the archbishop. AT
last they were married with a ring of
the bed curtain at 1890 at night at
Mayfair chapel. Forgetful bridegrooms
have been reduced to greater straits
than this even. In one instance q
leather ring had on the spur Of the
moment to be cut out of a piece of kid
from the brides glove
