History does, indeed, prove that "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."

If the mother wears cheap or shabby or ill-assorted clothes, while the children's are fine and harmonious, it is impossible that they should not receive the impression that they are of more consequence than their mother. Therefore, for her children's sake, if not for her own, the mother should always be well-dressed.

Thus the dolphin, from the story of Arion, appears in devices as the friend of the distressed; the salamander, living in fire, typifies the strong passions, natural, yet destructive to their victim; the young stork, carrying the old one, illustrates filial piety; the crane, which, according to Pliny, holds a stone in its claw to avert sleep, is a fit emblem of watchfulness; the pomegranate, king of fruits, wears a regal crown; the crocodile, symbol of hypocrisy, sheds deceitful tears.

I have sent into Italy for seals; 'tis to be hoped by that time mine come over, they may be of fashion again, for 'tis an humour that your old acquaintance Mr. Smith and his lady have brought up; they say she wears twenty strung upon a ribbon, like the nuts boys play withal, and I do not hear of anything else. Mr. Howard presented his mistress but a dozen such seals as are not to be valued as times now go. But

It's hardly begun, and I fear the lady in question will arouse attention whatever she wears." "Would she be called attractive?" asked Mrs. de Tracy with surprise. "Oh, yes, without a doubt!" "In gentlemen's eyes, I suppose you mean?" said Miss Smeardon. "Yes, in gentlemen's eyes," answered Lavendar, firmly. "Those of women are apparently furnished with different lenses.

Physical Examination Aug. 20 A well-developed, fairly well nourished woman, appearing to be about thirty-five years of age. Face wears an anxious expression and she shuns the examiner's direct gaze. Movements of the right hand and arm are now fairly free.

Indeed, artistic jewellers have introduced the hammered silver, which looks like an old tin teapot, and to the admirers of the real silver tint is very ugly; but it renders the wearing of a silver chftelaine very much easier, for the chains and ornaments which a lady now wears on her belt are sure to grow daily into the fashion.
