laud, Is found the following realistic
description of the "coucher" of Louis
XVI:
1.-THE kings coat waIstcoat and shirt
were taken Off He stood there naked
to the waist. scratching and rubbing
himself as If he had been alone, In the
| presence of the whole court and often
many strangers OF distinction. The
first valet handed the nightshirt to the
most highly qualified person, to one OF
the princes of the blood If any were
present. This was right and not a
favor. When the person was one with
whom he was on familiar terms the
king would often play tricks while
putting II on. stepping on one side to
make the holder run after him, accom-
panying these charming Jokes with
loud outlaws. which greatly vexed
those who were sincerely attached TO
him When his shirt was on he put
on his dressing gown, while three val
breaches. which fell to his ankles, and

to this strange favor"

Set the Pace.

Young Mabel had habit when soup
was served at the table Of mushing
her crackers or bread In II until 1t
was great mess. Her mother made
many efforts to have her correct this
strictly primeval habit.
One day there was to be company at
the table, and the mother said:
Nov, Mabel. Mrs. Brown Is to din
with us tonight, and want you to act
ut the table just as nicely as she does
Please don't mush' your soup"
Mabel promised faithfully to follow
the example set by Mrs. Brown, and
the dinner opened with every promise
of fine time. However. Mabel was
using a pair of very sharp eyes on
Mrs. Brown and In an instant blurted
forth at the top of her voice:
"Oh. mamma, Mrs. Brown Is 'mush-
ing" May I?''

course to take. md meantime the
groom had gone TO the curate to ask
him to plead for him. and the sympa-
thetic young fellow fastened to the
rectory to appeal to the vicar. The
old vicar heard his curate out, but
looked Obdurate. so as a last resource
the curate quoted Scripture as n plea
for leniency and said we were taught
