' A story is told of a young artist who was greatly attracted by the beauty of a lady who sat at a window in the house opposite his studio. He sent glances of admiration up to her window whenever, he passed into or out of his room/ At' length one day, seeing her in the street, his artistic tastes ran . away with his good judgment, and reaching her, panting with the c iiaste he had naado, gasped out, "Oh, Miss, your lovely blonde hair> I am dying to paint it! " ; . The 'lady with a quick movement, put her hand to her head, and then holding out her hair, at arm's length, " Take it, there it is? Send it back when you have done with it, 1 and I stop staring at my window.. My_husband 1 is dreadfully jealous, and will thrash -you for your impudence." The * crestfallen artist has not been : on. the chase .for f lovely blonde hair siuce." \
