La main chaude or Paumele. Merveilleuses in flimsy muslin dresses play the game of "hot hands." One girl buries her head in another's lap, and has to guess which friend slaps her arm. Two women have the fashionable short hairstyle called the victim or martyr. Illustration by Dominique Bosio. Handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817.
