buy siXpence worth of patience"
Down the street marched the lad and
demanded of the chemist, "Mr. Elliot,
please give me sixpence worth of pa.
tience"
Mr.. Elliot, taking in the situation at
a glance, said: Certainly, my boy;
there's chair. Just sit down and wait
till you get it"

these books reveals Il good summary
of the luxury expenditures of the
French court. the Bonapartistic as well
as the legitimistic. Napoleon L., who
for his own wants was, in contrast to
the spendthrifty Josephine very eco
uomical, went, though. to a large ex-
pense when IT was for representative
gala dresses. The 10000 francs which
he had to pay for the embroidery on
his coronation robe he did not consider
too high price But his embroidered
frocl coat that had cost him $500
francs and which became too tight for
him not long after its first year he
ordered TO be widened by pieces of
cloth and the new seams TO be COW
cred with embroideries. The bill for
his throne, however, foots up to a
pretty considerable amount. The outer
drapery of purple velvet, trimmed
with gold lace, was 10,200 francs.
The red velvet panels were strewn
with inworked golden bees at francs
apiece. and above the fauteuil the en-
peror's coat-of-arms was seen in raised
embroidery; total cost, 1920 francs.
The inner drapery consisted of blue
satin with gold lace at 5000 francs.
Gold embroidered stripes for the inner
trimming cost $500 francs. Embroid-
cry on the blue velvet fauteuil amount
ed to 1920 francs. the foot cushion to
1000. In addition there were 1,O10
bees on the unembroidered panels of
the baldachin at the price of $3.50
francs. Altogether the price of Ma
