CHARMS OF UGLY MEN Case of John Wilkes, the Famous
 London Alderman. HE WEDDED A NOTED BEAUTY
And He Was So Homely That Hia
 Looks Frightened the Children In the Streets-Bailly, With a Face Like .
 Horse, Won a Famous French Beauty.

There was perhaps as much truth Wilkes, the famous London alderman and champion of British electors "Ugly as I am, If I can have but a quarter of an hours start l will get the better of any man, however good looking. in the graces of any woman"
 Of Wilkes abnormal ugliness there was never question, for is 1t not re- corded that the "very children in the street ran away affrighted at the sight of him?" And yet his powers of fasci- nation were so great that ladies of beauty and fashion vied with each other for his notice, while men of handsome exterior and all courtly graces looked enviously on."
 There were, 1t is said, few beauties of the day whose hand Wilkes might not have confidently hoped to win, and when he led Mary Mead to the altar he made wife of one of the richest and most lovely women of her time. Beauty and the Beast they call us,r Wilkes once said to his friend Platter, land cannot honestly find fault with the description"
 Jean Paul Marat, whose name will always be associated with the evil history of the French revolution, was notoriously the ugliest man of his day in Paris. When this reputation reach ed his ears Marat is said to have re- marked, "But why limit my suprema. cy to Paris?" And indeed the restric. tion was much too modest.
 And yet i'll his earlier years, when he was the most popular of court doc. tors. his yer. u-liness seemed to excr-

They h;>- i2 tAe French theaters with the NlD hollow key" related Richard ardinG Davis. Paul Bour- get once old ne an cdd incident upon this custom.
 "A playwright-call him Duval-had the unhappiness one fine night to sit through most successful production of his latest play. The house respond cd with jeers and hisses, and a young man, turning to Duval, said:
 "'By love, how I'd roast this miser able piece if I only had a hollow keyr
 My dear boy. saids Duval. I am happy to be able to accommodate you.' And he handed a hollow key to the young man, who at once set LID a fierce and continuous hissing. Just then a critic appeared. "'Duval,' he said to the playwright. l am sorry for you. Poor fellow. you don't deserve this"
 "The young man with the key looked amazed and ashamed.
 What! Are you NJ. Duval? I beg your pardon thousand tmes,' ho cried.
 You owe me no apology said Du, val. Lunch with me tomorrow
 Ihe young man accepted the invita- ton, and at the end of the luncheon next day, when the coffee and ciga- rettes were brought in, he drew a bulky manuscript from his pocket and begged leave to read comedy to NJ. Duval. for he was a playwright too.
 "Duval consented and listened atten- lively to the reading. At the end the young man said

else such a fascination over aristocrat- ic ladies that they crowded his consult ing rooms in order to catch a glimpse of and to exchange words with him under the flimsiest pretexts of imag- mary ailments. The studied indiffer- ence with which he treated alike their charms and their fattery only made them the more insistent until he de- clared to a friend that he would have to fly from Paris to escape the perse- cution of his fair admirers.
 Bailly, mayor of Paris at the time of the reign of terror, Is said to have had face almost exactly like that of horse. His appearance was, in fact, go abnormal, so monstrous, that chil- dren shrieked and women fainted at the very sight of him, and yet his wife was one of the most lovely women in the whole of France-so lovely that as girl she was known as "the beautiful angel"
 That there is a powerful fascination for some women in extreme ugliness is proved by innumerable cases in which women who have been richly lowered with physical charms have fallen mad. ly in love with men of almost repusive appearance.
 A London paper records remark able case of this kind in 1877, when Lady Mary X. married Mir. Mudford n London attorney.
 Lady Mary was a girl of peerless charms, the most beautiful of all the court ladies and the favorite toast of the world of aristocrats. She might for her birth and fortune were almost equal to her beauty-have chosen her husband from among dukes, and even more than one royal prince sought her hand in vain.
 To the conSternation of society. she married Mir. Mudford, not only "a pet ufogging attorney" but man of al. most unnatural ugliness of face and with deformed hand and foot. Sin gular, too, as 1t may appear, her mar- ried life was one of unclouded happi- ness, and to her dying day, nearly forty years later. she never seemed to have moments regret for her choice of husband
 Still more remarkable was the story told Of most beautiful heiress with an attachment for one of the freaks of travelling show, and she per sisted in marrying him in spite of all the efforts of her friends and relations This singular object of her affections masqueraded under the title of the man monkey, or the ugliest man in the world and he had an excellent claim ta tho title.-Exchange.
