"THE ANGEL WITH THE FROZEN
HEART."
IN 1701, with the French revolution
at Its height, a tlfteen-yenr-old
girl vh man led to a banker almost
tlfty.nnd all Paris smirked. Hut Paris
would have been ashamed If It had
known, as historians believe, that
Jacques Hccninlcr wits the father of
Ids bride, Jeanne, anil married her so
thut Khc might have his powerful pro
tection. Throughout his life he kept
a paternal attitude, toward iter.
Mine. Hecnmler undoubtedly was one.
of the most beautiful women who over
graced Paris. An admirer said that
ebe had a "complexion that Is a bowl
of milk wherein tloat rose leaves." An
other' tells us of her "orange-tinted
eyes" and all agreed that she was "the
-jingelAvlih tho froen heart."
From the welter of tho revolution
and the iclgn of tenor Napoleon
emerged. When he had made him
self secute he looked about at the
beauUful women of Pails and his fan
cy fell on Mme. Hecnmler. He made
lazy lovu to her. Hut she refused
him. Napoleon, In a spiteful humor,
ruined her hubbund and banished her.
Then the two left for Italy. There
Prlnco Augustus of Prussia fell In
lovp with the banker's wife nnd want
ed her to become his princess. Again
she 'declined. Lucten Napoleon, broth
er of tho emperor, lost his head over
her. After him came the gallant Gen
eral Iienuidotte, and left disappoint
ed. Benjamin Constant, the states
man, loved her, and she made him an
Instrument of revenge against Napole
on, but granted Constant nothing. Gen
eral Moreau was next, then Murnt,
king of Naples. Mme. Recamlcr In
veigled him Into conspiracies against
Ids mnster, who fell not long after
ward. And the Itecamlers went back
to Paris, leaving Murat empty handed.
Mme. Hecamler's salon became the
most brilliant center of the restoration.
Hecnmler died and a thousand .suit
ors besieged his hcnutlful widow.
When she wns more than fifty she
. met the only man to whom her heart
ws not Indifferent, Chateaubriand,
the nuUior, a cranky, saddened man
Hut even theirs was a platonle love,,
for It feemed thnt Iter heart could no;
bo warmed and wol. Sljo t titled him
In bl.s last days mid tiled soon after-
wurd. Perhaps she really loved him.

A LIVING PICTURE OF BEAUTY.
SO.MirriM.ES-wo bear of the "baby

accepted heattbreaker. That descrip
tion Just ills Ueorgiaua, duchess of
Devonshire, born In 1757, and the sub-.
Ject of one of the mos,t famous pic
tines In the world, it Was painted by
Thomas (.'nlnsborough when she vn-
tw eat .-seven and hangs In the Metro
politan Museum of Art, New .York.
The duchess was wed at seventeen,
and by her twentieth year had become
the reigning queen of London society.
She soon was noted for her taste In
dress nnd was one of the llrst English
women who ever had the courage to
question Paris fashions, setting a few
of her own.
Tho leading men of the day gathered
.around her, among them Sheridan, the
playwright, anil Fox, the politician.
She Iind especial favor for these two.
and when Fox was hard pressed In an
election she went about the Loudon
streets soliciting votes for him, which
catiM'tl much talk. The duchess did
not seem to cute. Her beauty was a
icady persuader. One day a butcher,
bolder thnn tho rest, offered to sell
his vote for a kiss, which she prompt
ly paid, nnd thereby guvo rl.so to some
famous Hues about a butcher and a
fox and n duchess.
"I could light my pipe at her eyes,"
said one gallant Irishman, who loved
her, with a host of others. Gcorglnun
was over the "baby vamp," and In her
blithesome way succeeded In obtain
Ins a large measure' of political power,
which she used to benefit Fox. She
nlso wrote n number of poems, nil of
thorn having a pretty sentiment, nnd
Homo of them almost childish In tone.
They prove again thnt she was a "baby
vamp," but n very sweet sort of per
son, wilting about the brooks and flow
ers and Prince Chnrmlngs who ran
nwny with maidens. Of course, she
did not mention the maidens, such as
herself, who ran off with the princes.
The duchess' lifo wns a placid
stream, Into which serious trouble
never entered. She continued to bii

THE FIREBRAND OF
LUTION.
THE REVO-
IF IT had not been for a woman
the French Revolution might never
have tnken place, it was October 5,
1789. Outside the palace of Versailles
a mob of women from Pnris cried for
bread anil the head of "the Austrian
woman," Marie Antoinette. She and
Louis XVI looked from the windows,
and Marie aMiod: "Why don't they eat
cake?"
The women had dragged cannon
from Paris, which they could not lire
because the inln had wet their pow
der. Versailles was protected by the
royal bodyguard and n regiment of
Flemings. Tho local post of the Garde
Natlonalc was In N.vmpathy with the
women and would have helped them,
but tlie.v had no tnitridgcs.
At this point enters Thoroigno dc
Merlcourt, already u heroine of icpiib
llcan Paris, mid a vaniplie who had
laid waste many hearts. She appeared
before Versailles In a red silk dress, a
lil-: hat with a feather, and a sabre at
her belt. Sift! went among tin wom
en and picked willing spirits to attack
the Flemings. Their "attack" ww. made
with kisses n kiss for a cartridge.
Soon the Garde National!' Hied on the
bodjguaid. The next day Versailles
was stormed. Mario escaped in her
petticoat.
Hack In Paris, Therolgnc wns ac
claimed a queen of the Revolution. On
August 10, 171)2, she led In the attack
on the Tullcries and the massacre of
the Swiss guard. The sinister
Robespierre, revolutionary lender, was
said to havo been one of her Inti
mates. But before bo canto to his
greatest power suspicion pointed to
Therolgne In n plot to assassinate
Marie. She was kldnnpcd and carried
to Austria In n cnrrlage, and there put
on trial for her life. . Sho succeeded
In reaching Leopold II nnd "vamped"
her way to freedom.
Then came tho tremendous events of

nounced that sho had "withdrawn her
confidence" from him and Joined IiIb
enemies. Her opposition wns 80
strenuous that Robespierre hired n
bund of women to take his revenge.
They Intercepted Therolgno beforo tho
Tullcries, the scene of her glory In
1702. This time sho did not wear her
sabre. Tho women overpowered
Therolgne, turned her petticoats over
her head and spanked her beforo tho
Parisian crowd.

FAMOUS CASE OF "FATAL
BEAUTY."
THE name Helen of Troy brings to
our mind's eye n woman young
and slender nnd of surpassing beauty.
As n matter of record she had red
hair and wns forty years old when
she stinted on her great adventure.
Rut all tli!anclcnt world agreed that
Helen was Its'llnest ornament. Al
thouh she lived It.OOO years ago her
fame still endures.
When Helen was n little under twen
ty, her father, Tyndareus of Argos,
found his palace idled with almost
every kinglet and princeling In Greece,
demanding her hand. He foresaw that
no matter where her choice fell, there
would be future trouble. So he bound
all of them to an onth that they would
protect the hearthstone of the fnvored
suitor. '
Helen made a strange selection,
Menelaus, king of Sparta, a plodding,
uiltltlle-aged man. lie took her off to
his palace and -after n while many
things were said about her. Hut the
two lived In seeming contentment for
twenty years. Then came Paris, son
of Prlnm, from the great city of Troy.
He was young nnd handsome. It had
been foretold that his city would be
destroyed through him. Helen prompt
ly "vamped" the stranger guest.
They lied one night for his ship and
sailed for Troy. Menelaus mourned
her ns one distracted and called on
Tyndareus to ninko the nobility of
Greece fulfill Its promise. OH' they
went, In 1,200 ships, to tho city of
Troy, standing near the present-day
Constantinople.
The Trojan war lnsfed ten years
without result. Helen hnd long since
tired of Purls. Then he was brought
back dying from a night sortie. "Long
ago, dear," he said, "we were glad
we who never more shall bo together.
Will you kiss me, once? It Is ten
weary years since you have smiled on
me. But. Helen, say farewell with
your old smile."
She kissed him, he died, and soon
afterward she wed his younger broth
er, although all Troy reviled her for
bringing upon It such a war. One
day the Greeks apparently sailed away
and great was the rejoicing. But the
besiegers left behind their famous
wooden horse, which tho Trojans mis
took as nn offering to Neptuno for a
safo passtigo home. They brought tho
horse Into the city. That night a se
cret door In the horso was opened
and Helen led thoso within to tho
gates, which they unfastened to the
returned Greeks. An Indescrlhablo
slaughter followed and the city was
burned.
Helen went bnck to Sparta as tho
wlfo of Meuelnus. When ho died tho
women rose ngnlu&t her and sho lied
'to R?iodes, whoso queen had lost n
'tfoirVJn tho Trojan war. And &ho hatj

"Catch htm while he Is young and
train him In the way you would have
iliu go; then you will have u husband
after jour own heart. Should the
murrlnge prove a failure, you will
know you picked the wrong man."
LHu Fox looked up from Madame
MLvit'ti "Advice' to the Lovelorn," Just
In time to sec Winnie Weeks, radiant
I rlte of n week, pass by with her hand
xome young hm-hand.
Winnie was only eighteen nnd n
beauty, so Lllu, twenty-nine find mere
ly good-looking, lonlly seemed old ami
ugly to him.
"I have u good mind to try It," she
murmured, and whether she really
meant It or not, fate seemed ready to
help her, for at the dance of the
Neighborhood club that evening Liai
son Grey persisted In dancing with
her nnd her only.
Though a trlllc dismayed at his
youth, he being only seventeen nnd a
high school pupil, the advice to "catch
him young" kept lecttrrlng, nnd when
he, with nattering humility, asked If
he might walk home with her, she Just
naturally said "jes."
It was only n ten-minute wulk, but
before they had gone half the dlstnnco
Ids arm was around her slim waist,
his eyes on liet, and he was murmur
ing, "Oh, this Is what I've wanted
since my first dance with you. I Just
love you." And though she was scan
dalized at the absurdity of this "kid's"
making lovo to her. "catch him young
nnd train him" once more bobbed up,
nnd she decided to nceopt him.
Arrived home, she Invited him to
"Just for n little lunch," but the Ice
box yielded only tomato soup and cot
tage cheese.
"I love tomato soup," Lanson ex
claimed In the same nrdent tones ho
i ml said he loved her. "Hring It out
and heat It." So they feasted on soup,
crackers and cheese.
It was a case of "rushing" after
that. Lllu hat) always had straggling
admirers, who called a few times nnd
then lost Interest. The truth was
that her breezy manner, which fasci
nated at first nnd made "getting nc
qtmlnted" easy, had seemed to be "too
bossy" on more Intimate nequnlnt
nnco. Hut Lftnson did not lose Interest,
ne came every evening, proposed
mnrrlnge. And when she laughingly
asked, "How could you support n
wife? Yon mtis be fooling," he grow
very Indignant, and "I'll show jou,"
he declared; "you don't enre for me
or you'd marry' me right nwayl"
"Hut mnrrled people have to pay
their expenses, and how could we do
that?"
"Easily enough. My uncle, In the
real estate business In Albany, has
offered the a Job at a thousand a year;
won't that pny our expenses?"
It dltl provide for them amply for
two years, when prices nnd salaries
began to soar. Lnuson hnd pleased
his uncle, who now raised bis salary
beyond Llln's wildest expectations.
Sho had economized and "trained"
Lanson to do so, too. They now felt
that they could uffortl it bungalow
for a home and, calling at the olllco
one day to see him, In connection with
the purchase of It, Lllu asked the of
fice boy to send out Mr. Grey. "Tell
him Mrs. Grey Is here," she said; nnd
the boy went Into Lnnson's ofllco with
"Your mother Is out there, Mr. Grey,
nnd she wants to see you."
Lanson, who supposed his mother
to be at home, forty miles away on the
Massachusetts side of the state line,
rushed out to greet her, only to Hnd
Lllu there, iflone.
"Why, what a funny mistake !" ho
laughed, but from that time on he be
gan to be late for dinner, slow to
meet her for the noon lunch, which
they always had together at a Broad
way restaurant; In fact, his hours be
came so Irregular and his excuses for
"working overtime" so plausible that
Lllu got quite tisetl to spending tho
evenings alone.
Hilt even so, sho was totally unpre
pared for his not coming homo nt all
one night nnd for the harsh command,
by telephone, the following morning,
to "he nt the police station at nine
o'clock."
Arrived there, worn with thu night's
vigil and fearing Lanson had met with
i oine horriblo accident, she was com
forted by the sight of her husband nnd
ii pretty girl of sixteen whom sho rec
ognized ns the stenographer In tho of
fice adjoining Lnnson's. But before
Llla could utter n word, one of the po
licemen guarding them nsked the
frightened girl : "Now, young Indy, can
you tell me who this woman Is?"
"Yes," she whispered, "his mother."
"What Is your name?" sharply
nsked the officer, turning to Llla.
"Llla Grey." .
"Do you know this mnn?"
"He In my husband."
"Young mnn, can you deny that?"
"No."
The young girl, with a muffled groan,
collapsed, fainting, In her chnlr.
The ojllcer turned to Llla. "I found
them In the park at two o'clock this
morning; followed them to tho Union
station, where ho bought tickets for
New York. They were Just about to
board the train when Stubbs, here,
rushed up with a report of 'girl miss
ing.' I nsked her name, and brought
them back."
Llla clung weakly to the desk. "Oh,"
shu vvus muttering Incoherently, "mar
