Pauline is a character in the Nintendo game Donkey Kong. She is was kidnapped by Donkey Kong and was then rescued by Mario.

Contrary to popular belief, Pauline is just a regular woman, not a princess. She is often mistaken to be Princess Toadstool by players not familiar with the lesser-known Pauline. In recent Game and Watch Gallery Game Boy titles featuring Donkey Kong, Pauline is usually replaced with the Princess.

Lexicography	Devil's Dictionary	TIGHTS, n. An habiliment of the stage designed to reinforce the general acclamation of the press agent with a particular publicity. Public attention was once somewhat diverted from this garment to Miss Lillian Russell's refusal to wear it, and many were the conjectures as to her motive, the guess of Miss Pauline Hall showing a high order of ingenuity and sustained reflection. It was Miss Hall's belief that nature had not endowed Miss Russell with beautiful legs. This theory was impossible of acceptance by the male understanding, but the conception of a faulty female leg was of so prodigious originality as to rank among the most brilliant feats of philosophical speculation! It is strange that in all the controversy regarding Miss Russell's aversion to tights no one seems to have thought to ascribe it to what was known among the ancients as "modesty." The nature of that sentiment is now imperfectly understood, and possibly incapable of exposition with the vocabulary that remains to us. The study of lost arts has, however, been recently revived and some of the arts themselves recovered. This is an epoch of renaissances, and there is ground for hope that the primitive "blush" may be dragged from its hiding-place amongst the tombs of antiquity and hissed on to the stage.
