THE pAlNTpE MALE.
Use Of paint by men is not unprecedent-
ed. An old record, believed % be authon-
tic, says that the face Of the king OF
Ninevch was ''as white milk, and his
eyes and eyebrows were painted black.
In a more recent century, the beaux of
London Haunted paint aud beauty patches
along with velvet coats and knee breoches.
A picture of seventeenth century Top
shows him rouged and wearing numerous
black patches around eyes and llps to hdd
to his charm. The court ladies OF his time
were MS gaily decorated as the men, but
then, as now. there were people whose
ideals of beauty differed; and SO We have
the story of the lovely Lady Coventry
whose husband objected strongly To her
liberal use of paint. On one occasion
Lord Coventry pursued his lady around
the diningtahle, and when he caught her
removed several layers of cosmetics with
napkin Evidently the beautiful Lady
Coventry did not reform even them tor
she died at tho age Of p, and the cause, we
are told was an overdose of paint, wlnch
resulted in an acute attack OF something
like painters collie.
In our own land, paint had for time
been openly admired, and then all Mt once
no respectable person would mention
rouge above whisper About the time
when the present era Of paint opened,
some II years ago, an interesting. bill was
presented before State Legislature by nm

that:

PARIS, November 13.-An important

which is the development of regional
autonomy. will he laid before the
French legislature at the session soon
to be opened. AT the personal instiga
ton of President Millerand, with

the development Of regionalis SIN,
drawn up in 1867, during the empire.
and has submitted the remodeled draft
to the government council.
Without abolishing the present de-
partments, it is intended to create
some twenty administrative and finan-
cial regions, each named after it's
chief city. Its purpose is, first, to
relieve the congestion of the central
administration by providing local
bodies to deal with strictly local af-
fairs. and, second. to facilitate local

matters
At the head Of each region will be

the fact that she was to wed q cabi-

time and place of the wedding should
be known to every one. Notices giv-

A knot of women had gathered at the
church doors and took advantage OF
the opportunity to tell the minister
what they thought Of his administra-

Hermes and his bride found the situa -
tion so uncomfortable that after the
ceremony they left the church by a
side door.
