In Water Colors.

J* E* G. Bodley, the well-known author of the clever aud exhaustive book on Franco lately published, was distinguished ill London society as a sa.vor of witty things. At a luncheon party one day a lady was describing a visit she had paid to the house of a then famous aesthete, who was supposed to have a greater taste for house decora* tion than for habits of frequent ablutiou. Among other tilings, she described the harmonious coloring of his bathroom. Bodley- expressed incredulity'Ms to the aesthete's use for the bathroom. The lady indignantly repudiated the insinuation, and said: “I am sure he bathes a great deal.” “In that case,” said Bodley quietly, “lie must be nu even greater artist than I gave him credit for."—Chambers’ Journal.
