The name of Beniamln I-'ranklin varlably conjures up a mental plctuie .: a man dressed ln .the severest st f j a mnn dressed old Knlckerbocker days. says the N- n York Hvrald. History tells us that i ' emlnent statesman was as fond of p a clothes and plain living as he was -plaln spcech, and yet there was a r., when Benjamln Franklin revelled ln 1 1 the frills and furbelows of th.- eff court of Louls Selze. The plcture done by Quentln dt la T r shows the Inventor of the liBhtnins r-' 1 ns he looked on state occasions when . bassador to France. It appears to bi somethlng of a curioslty, for It presi-nts Franklin in an entlrely new gulst hen. In 17TG, Congress sent thls m-i . across the water to negotlate w.i France, he probably hadn't a periwig r a frllled and Jewelled walstcoat to h.s name, but, arrlving among a natlou f dalnty and exqulsite ln dress, lt was on.. natural that the plaln man should lu metamorphosed lnto somethlns of a bir terfly, In appearance at least, As he hlmselt once expressed hls posi tion: "Belng myself honored with vlslt--from persons of quallty and dlstlnctlon I was obliged for the credlt of the pro Ince to llve ln a fashlon and expensi. sultable to the publlc character 1 sus talned, and much more above what I should have done If I had been consid. r cd merely as a prlvate jierson."
