Burlesques at Wedding.

Poulbot, a Paris caricaturist, having determined upon so commonplace a step as getting married, decided that he would be married in no commonplace way. He asked all his friends to the weeding, but there was a sine qua non, condition attached to the invitation. You had to go with a "made-up head.” or you would not be admitted. Preferably yon were requested to make un a country cousin at a village wedding. Some guests arrived as ancient peasants, others as village idiots. There were several bluff souires and rural elderly gentlemen with means, a number of retired officers and exuberant uncles from the South, besides fierce military gentlemen from the hottest stations of Algeria. The only persons who wore their’natural physiognomies were the couple most concerned. Thev had drawn the line at making up themselves as a burlesque bride and a. comic bridegroom. —London Daily Telegraph.
