HOW OSCAR WILDE IS PHOTOGRAPHED OUT WEST.

In breathing he inhales air, but only under protest, as his taste is for something less invigorating. Not having the means of diluting the stuff, however, he is obliged to use it full strength, at the risk of actually becoming robust. In dining, when excessively hungry, he has been known to look at a lily in a glass of water for fully five minutes, and then waddle away and loosen his waistcoat. But such gluttony is very rare with the great aesthete, and ordinarily a hasty glance at a photograph of a sandwich is all he feels warranted in taking. By the exercise of constant care he thus avoids overloading the stomach.
