EUGENIE.—The second Monday in July, 1940, will be the 8th. Wrinkles
in the forehead are caused by raising the eyebrows, which draws the
skin into lines and rolls. The only way to cure them is by leaving off
making that special grimace, which makes you look not only both old and
plain, but gives a silly and an unhappy expression.
FIRENZE.—_Catafalco_ is an Italian word, meaning “a scaffold” or
funeral canopy, and is applied to a temporary piece of woodwork
decorated with painting and sculptures, representing a tomb, and
employed in funeral solemnities. We have the word in French also,
_catafalque_, which dates from the fifteenth or sixteenth century.
PADDY.—Jan. 13th, 1866, was a Saturday; Feb. 17th, 1864, was a
Wednesday.
