The LAST STEP BEFORE NoBILITY.-LoLA
Monies, (the present Countess of Landsfeld)
arrived at Baden, in the height of the bathing
season, with cigardin mouth aud riding-whip
in hand. She commenced Immediately the
outlay of her electrifying graces upon the pub
lie eye, producing an effect proportionate to
their contrast with the extreme calmncss and
propriety of the manners of the German ladies'
drank. In the afternoon she followed the
world TO the public drive, and, mounted up
on the most furious horse which could be
found, she executed feats of daring horseman
ship such as are commonly seen only within
the ring Of circus. At twilight, with the
rest of the world, noble and ignoble. she went
TO the public gaming-saloon; and, with fiding-
dress on and whip in hand, flung her money
upon the table with the prodigality of one
whose receipts are as easy as her expendit-
ures. The first evening after her arrival she
lost hundred Napoleons. The second aud
third evenings her losses went on increasing.
''This becomes tiresome,' she remarked at last,
to one of her admirers, 81 don't like to be al
ways doing one thing. I'll vary pleasures a
little by going to the ball." Making toilette
Of such skill and splendor as she alone, at that
place, was mistress of, she presented herself
at the door of the ballroom.
"You cannot pass!' said the functionary at
the door.
"Not pass!S cried Lola, ''has not my SER
want handed you my ticket"
'Your money will be returned to you.'
"Make room, insolent villain!" cried Lola,
lending her two enormous eyes, with brows
descending like clouds over two .war-shields,
fercely upon him. ..-
''I have my orders" said the man, still stand
ing in her way.
With single blow, directly between the
eyes, the man was staggered back against the
wall, and enter Lola, to the crowded ballroom,
with as calm a march as if she had sailed to
the threshold on one of Venus's clouds.
There was buzz around the room, but,
meantime, Lola had seated herself between
two Duchesses. In this position she was
approached by a grave parsonage, who pc.
litely requested her to leave the hall.
"My friend!" said Lola, "don't make my ear:
too hot"
eff you do not Immediately depart,
said the official, 81 will have you taken out by
a corporal and four soldiers. / am the high
sheriff of Baden, and my guard-post is bu
two steps from the door,"
"You shall fight me for this, cried Lola, fu
riously, (but rising to depart,) sand, Monsieur
though you little deserve it, will give you
your choice of weapons!"
81 choose regiment of grenadiers," replied
the Sheriff, 'and | moreover order you to quit
Baden in twenty -four hours"
The next morning, accompanied by youns
Bavarian officer, Lola started for Munich, and
her intimacy with the King followed immedi
ately, and her ennoblement soon after. So that
probably, If she had not been turned out O
the ballroom at Baden, she would not have
been, now, Countess of Landsfeld,. with al
, estare, and an hundred thousand francs year
What will probably be the future history o
