Keen from above, the members of the lower House are not conspicuous for beauty. Perhaps the view from; our eyrie is not the most favorable. Artemus ' Ward says that if you want to see a woman at her best you - must look up at her ; and it Is no doubt trying to a man to be looked down upon. Ho, under the circumstances, the members may not be seen at their best. Perhaps that Is why their attitudes appear so ungraceful and their gestures, like those , of marionettes.
