ILLUSTRATED BY CHARMING EXAMPLES.
By H. M. Tindall.
A painter once made a miniature of King Charles II. which was more or less of a caricature. "Is that like me?" said the King when he saw it. "Then, odd's fish, I'm an ugly fellow!"
The remark recalls another made to our own Queen when she said to Chalon, the miniaturist, that photography would ruin his profession.
"Ah! non, madame; photographie cannot flattère," was the confident reply.

"KATHLEEN".

"MA BELLE."
These comments seem to imply that miniatures make either "ugly fellows" or flattered dames, which is by no means true. But in selecting those which accompany this article, we sought for pretty faces, and decided to admit no "fellows" of any sort except one—no less than a Lord Chief Justice.
