Antigone, being recalled and made the centre of a volley of bouquets, ceased to be Antigone and became only Mademoiselle Bartet; and the Greek chorus, breaking ranks and scampering about the stage in order to pick up the leading lady's flowers, ceased to be anything serious and became only ridiculous.

His only brother, Lord Charles Wellesley, left two sons, but if these should die issueless the dukedom will be extinct, and the Irish earldom of Mornington will pass to Lord Cowley. Mr. I was not before aware that the Herald's files went back so far, but it was a greater surprise to discover that interviewing flourished at so early a date. Yours, SARSFIELD YOUNG. BOUQUETS AND BAKED BEANS vs.

Everything was illumined by the brilliant sunlight the narrow bedstead on which he died, and all the numerous withered laurel-wreaths and bouquets of flowers that filled it while outside, in Schiller's little garden, in the bed where his bust is placed, violets nodded at us between the leaves of the luxuriant ivy.

In the spring weather the walk from Passy to the Champs Elysees would be pleasant and not too far; I like to see the swards and the poplars and the villas, the tall iron railings, and the flower vases hidden in bouquets of trees.

It was simple and short, and at the conclusion Dick kissed Dora tenderly. The organ pealed out once more, and the happy couple marched from the church, everybody gazing after them in admiration.

Then she exacts a great many costly presents, to say nothing of gloves, trinkets, and bouquets. It is curious to note how the code of propriety has altered in this particular.
