1t was during the palmiest DAYS Of the
empire. Never was Paris SO gay; it was
the fete day of the Emperor, the last
fiickering blaze of its greatness ere his
glory departed forever. All Paris knew
that he would grace the opera that night,
and add to its usual lustre the glitterinQ
pomp and circumstance of power. Ac-
cordingly all that portion Of Paris who
had the necessary number of francs went
to the opera, and, la honor Of SO great an
occasion, Mons. Blauvais.g the director.
was to produce La Prophete. y IN ~
The overture was over; the Emperor.
accompanied by the Empress, radiant. in
her beauty and glittering with Jewels. had
just entered the royal box; his suite, uni
formed in every color of the rainbow. stood
grouped in the background. In another
moment the bell would tinkle and the opera
commence. But in an instant of time, when
every sound was heard, the second box to
the right of the Emperor was opened, and
the curtains were drawn aside, and revealed
the lovely wife of the Russian Ambassador,
Duke Metzkerwitch.
n No wonder that the bell tinkled I'M
heard and the curtain went up unnoticed !;
no wonder that every eye was fixed with q
fascinated gaze upon the woman who had
just taken her seat and was calmly and with
well-bred nonchalance glancing about the
house; for upon her arms, blazing like
beacons, sparkled the diamonds of which
Paris had heard so much, and which row
atty in vain had sought to purchase. A
hum OF admiration ran through the house
and then, for the first time, the enchanting
strains of the chorus were listened to.
