No Wives In oItvenetian Embassies

founding as ther speedy surrender to

the fifteenth ard sixteenth centuries

garding it's ambassadors to foreign
countries which were quaint in the
extreme. No departing minister was
permitted to tale his wife with him,

that that she would distract her hus-
band from BUSINESS. This was most
graceful, and would be an excuse al
most complimentary enough to keep
wives of modern ambassadors at
home, no one or moment suggest
ing that diplomacy would be bene-
flied thereby. On the other hand, the
ten were perfectly frank In saying
that the wife d an ambassador could
on no account ccompany her husband,
as her presen'e would make 1t diff
f1cult to keep srvants at the embassy,
and it was Dost important that a
sumptuous ard complete establish
ment be kept UP. This was really
most cutting, and we share the justi-
fable rage of the ladies.
