Watered Taf*.
Probably there is nothing under the
aun which is the basis of so large a
tom her of figures of speech as water.
A poor argument "won’t hold water;’*
a babbler is “a leaky vessel;” a half
drunken mao is "halt seas over; "fish
ing in troubled waters** is another ;
lame for getting into difficulty; "still
waters run deep” is a hint that your
quiet and demure person has more in
him than the world supposes; if a
man is in a had predicament he is tu
"hot water;** disappointment is "a wet
bia nket.*’
Of tiie rejected suitor it is said that
"cold water is thrown on his hopes;**
the hungry man's "mouth waters;” the •
strength I ess are "weak as water;’
sometimes it "rains blessings;” when
an orator begins to be tedious we say
he has “run dry;** news is always
"afio.it:** speculators are often "swamp
ed;** many people find it impossible to
••keep their heads above water, and
often we have to acknowledge that we
are "ail at sea.**
Beau Brummel’s Dress.
Evidently we must not believe all
that we have read of Mean Brummel.
There were stories that he appeared in
"a dove colored coat and white satin i
inexpressibles;’* that it took two art- j
ists to make his gloves, a special ex
pert being assigned to the thumbs, and
that he had throe hairdressers who spe
cialized. so to speak, on the different .
parts of his head. All these stories, it ;
seems, are fiction, according to 1-eon H. ;
Vincent’s "Dandies and Men of bet* >
tors:”
"Simplicity and unobtrusive elegance ,
were his ideals. To attract notice by j
conspicuousness in dress was in his
opinion the most mortifying experi
ence that a gentleman could have. ,
Byron told Leigh Hunt that there was
nothing remarkable in Brummel s
dress except a certain exquisite pro
priety. From which it may la inferred
that his reforms were of a sensible
sort.”
