Later on in Shakespeare's time, not only the nobles, but also the better class citizens boasted collections of plate. A quaint instance of the recognition of distinctions of rank is afforded by certain "Ordinances" that went forth as the "Bouche of Court."
For two centuries its product went to the "Service de Bouche" of the chief of state, that is, the royal dinner table; but in 1875 the Minister of Agriculture installed there the French National Horticultural College, which to-day, with a widened scope, has admitted ornamental plants and trees to this famous garden.
His description of Millicent as an ex-chorus girl offered another bonne bouche to the crowd. She would never again skip airily behind the footlights of the Wellington, or any other important theater in England. So far as she was concerned, the musical comedy candle that succeeded to the sacred lamp of West End burlesque was snuffed out. Millicent was actress enough not to flinch from the goad.

There is always a little air of mystery about the first communion: not that there is any in reality, but the little ones assume it to render themselves important. No matter how young and innocent she may be, a woman's devotion always seems to have two aims God and her own sex. The week of retreat came. Oh, the week of retreat!

This was Monsieur Alcide Mirobolant, formerly Chef of his Highness the Duc de Borodino, of H.
