One for the Bishop.

The late J. A. McNeill Whistler opposed every sort of cant. He cham pioned, on the other hand, many peculiar things. He believed, for instance. in cosmetics, and encouraged women always In the use of rouge, rice-powder, kohl and henna. He liked in this connection to tell about a rebuff that he once heard a young girl ’administer to a bishop. The bishop somehow or other discovered the young girl in the act of curling her hair with a heated silver rod, and he said to her, “My dear young lady, if God intended your hair to be curled, he would curl it himself.” She rejoined, “He did curl it when I was a little girl, but now that I am grown up, he thinks«l am able to look after it myself."
