STARTING A FASHION.
At the end of the year 1781 Leonard,
hairdresser to Queen Marie Antoinette,
was confronted by an alarming situa-
tion, and with the fulfillment of this
dread event would fall his credit. But
wih his native “Gascon quickness”-—
as Leonard puts it in his “Recollec-
tions" —he proceeded to save his repu-
tation,
“Madame,” sald he one day to the
queen when he saw that the fall of her
hair was imminent, “the high head-
dress is becoming very common. It is
long since the bourgeoisie has taken
possession of it, and now it is the turn
of the common people.”
“Good gracious, Leonard, what ave
you telling me? Do you know it
grieves me to hear it? Those head-
dresses were so becoming to me!”
“And what headdress would not be
come your majesty? 1 have carefully
thought over a total revolution in your
majesty's headdress. | have even had
your portrait drawn with the new ar-
rangement | have in view, and, as |
expected, my august sovereign by
adopting my innovation would be made
younger by six or seven years.”
“Do you mean fit, Léonard? The
headdress you have in mind would
make me look younger?”
“] do not see what your majesty
could gain in that, for many women of
the court would take on years to re-
semble the queen of France.”
“Oh, I do not deceive myself, Leon-
ard. 1 shall soon be twenty-seven,
and at that age a style which makes
one look younger is nlways favorably
received.”
“Well, madame,” leonard continued
quickly, while placing a miniature be-
fore her majesty’'s eyes, “see this por
trait. It is a striking resemblance. It
is your majesty. but ten years young-
err
“What do | see—the hair cut a few
inches from the head?”
“Yes, madame, it will be, if you are
pleased to consent to it, a colffure 3
Penfant, and you will see it taken uw»
with as much enthusiasm as all those
that 1 have created for your majesty.”
“You are right, Leonard. It is
charming. In truth, | am but cighteen
with my bair dressed like that. But
to sacrifice my beautiful hair!”
“Your majesty will have the satis-
faction of seeing all the ladies of the
court, all the iadies of France, sacri-
fice theirs.”
“But if the style changes?”
“Who would dare to adopt a new
one without your majesty's having
first set the example? If some ambi-
tious hairdresser amid the myriad
of weaklings who swarm in Paris
should dare undertake such a change
I would have him reduced to atoms by
the Journal des Dames. He would be
a ruined man.”
“But | prize my hair very much,”
said the queen, with an air of hesita-
tion, still looking at the portrait. Yet
1 am dying to have my hair dressed a
Penfant.”
“Well, madame, since | have been so
fortunate as to find a style which
pleases your majesty | must tell you
all. For the last two weeks all my
waking hours have been devoted to the
service of my sovereign in the attempt
to make an agreeable thing of sn im-
perative necessity.”
“What do you mean, Leonard?"
“Your majesty was saying a little
while ago that she prized her hair, and
1 can easily understand it: but, unfor-
tunately, her hair does not prize her.
Before fifteen days it will have entire-
ly fallen out if this very day we do
not apply the infallible remedy—the
scissors.”
“What's that you say?’ exciaimed
the queen with veritable fright.
“The least painful of truths, madame,
since what 1 propose to your majesty,
while forestalling a great misfortune,
is entirely to her taste.”
“Come, Leonard: no more delibera-
tion. Cut it, but do not cut it too
short.”
“Just enough, madame, to give back
to the roots of the hair the vigor it
was beginning to lose.”
The queen's beautiful hair fell under
Leonard's regenerating scissors, and
two weeks afterward all the ladies of
the court had their hair dressed a I'en-
fant.
Let no one say there is no diplomacy
outside the king's cabinet. It is at the
bottom of all human combinations.—

A Losing Game.
“1 lost $2,000 last night,” observed
the noted lecturer, who charged 50
cents a word for his oratory.
“How was that—poker?” inquired the
man who didn’t care much for lectures
anyway.
“No. Talked in my sleep,” replied
the lecturer, wiping away a tear.—

Once upon a time a certain Turkish
literury wan living in Constantinople
flected in no way against the politics
of the state, and he had broken no
laws, He was even given time to
work under
translation with him. Arrived at the
prison, he was given pleasant quar-
lator worked arduously.
When the work was done he was, to
his astonishment, instantly liberated
and presented with a large sum of
money. Upon further inquiry as to his
treatment it was explained that the

story as it appeared from day to day
and was too impatient to wait for the
end. He wanted to read all the rest of
it at once! Truly. there are certain ad-
vantages in being a sultan.
Its Resemblance to the Hovering of the
Kestrel In the Air.
As the kestrel is to the clouds so i=
the trout to the crystal waters. Both
kestrels and trout display that magica
poising as if suspended by invisible
threads—only now and then, when
cross currentg are encountered, is i
sign given to show that life itself 1s
not in suspense.
A brief agitation of the kestreis
wings, a swishing of the trout's tail
the cross current is weathered, anc
bird or fish poises motionless again
And as when walking along we re
pulled up in ever fresh wonder by the
sight of the hovering kestrel, so we
must needs pause on a bridge when
there is a trout in the stream below
He looks his best poising with head
to the stream—a shapely form agains
the background of smooth brown peb
bles and waving emerald weeds Lean
ing over the bridge with eyes on the
trout a vision is conjured—an ullurine
fly drops en the water, then a sluck
line tightens, there is a song from tho
reel, a rod bends, there follows u daz
zling dance of vermilion spots against
the green of the bank.
Or as we come to the bridge on =
winter's day we think we hear a
mighty plashing of water over the
pebbles, which turns out to be the
play of thirty or forty trout, the piay
of the last round of some water tour
ney. As they come to the surface, roll
ing and wallowing, their great fa!
sides look twice as big as when secn
through the clear water. They almost
make a dam across the stream as they
jostle each other, seeking for the
choicest places on the spawning bed

An inveterate wit and punster asked
the captain of a craft loaded with
boards how he managed to get dinner

“Why,” replied the skipper, “we al

wag. “Then | see you have been well
