are found in the memoirs Of the Mar

nation of Louis NY. they actually
used catskin" superbly elegant WAS
the Duchesse de In Ferte, who generally
was carried around under canopy.
The marquise goes Into ecstasles con
corning this particular duchesse, whose
eyes had the most disdainful express

slight cast in them" But her supreme
elegance can be appreciated when it is
known she never blew her nose for
fear of spelling her Greek contour. but
dabbed it at intervals with small
square of cambria"

BENJAMIN FrankIin's Wife.

A very unfattering description of
benjamin Franklin's wife is taken
from the diary of Daniel Fisher, who
was Franklin's secretary for a short
time "She sat on the floor Mt neigh.
boris. She assumed the airs Of extraor-
binary freedom and great humility,
lamented heavily the misfortunes of
those who are unhapplly infected with
n too tender or benevolent disposition.

their calnmities and distress. giving us

the violence Of her invectives, Pointing
to Franklin's son one day, she exelalm-
ed, There goes the greatest villain up
