THE SEMI-vE1
Nilsson and Her Husband.
Paris was indee>. astonished when It
learned that the great prima donna was
about to simply and L0Mrye0isensent
marry man named RouzeaUd. No
one seemed to know who he was, and 50
Investigations were entered into. IT
was discovered that the happy husband
was the son of . landed proprietor OF
Chatente, in easy circumstances and Of
creole origin, and that he was an agent
Se change, or broker on the R0urse. OF
course the people who insist that kings
hertlesses were disappointed ut seeing
the tender "Ophelia," the Irresistible
Marguerite, falling in love with q
gentleman who sold stocks on q margin
from twelve to two O'Clock; and yet
there was romantic side to this union.
d. R0uzeaud had been waiting for her
for five long years. For that time he
bad loved and despaired; for he had
seen q nation OF a(lOrers cOquctting
around the fair one, had heard ardent
Parisians declaring themselves with all
the dangerous powers Of sincerity. He
waited with patience and he won the
prize. 1t was quickly known all over
Paris that there had been no prelude to
this union that could not he avoweti.
Therefore the Nilsson ROuzeaud family
had hOt, like 50 many others, to under
go any insulting stages lefOre admission
into society. myself have seen Miss.
Nilsson ut the A.ttrdis Of the Theatre
Francais, and at the mcrcyedis of the
Grand Opera in boxes. into which many
''swclP' Parisians would have regarded
as an honor to the allie 10 penetrate.
even if only during an entr' acte. and
NJ. ROuzeaud WAS with her. 1t was sOOn
known, indeed, that III Or.ier to marry
Nilsson, he had had to override certain
objections and quarrel with certain very
much coveted 1nheritanceS: that he mad
had to make the nominations srsDcc-
kc"ews to his own family. and that since
his marriage he had not touched one
sou Of his wife's fortune. which ut that
time amounted To quite 2,Gw,OU' francs
He himself was earning by his work
and intelligence all the way from N),tAx'
francs to lOO, tNO francs year, and this
was more than enough to meet all their
wants. 1t was the greatest anxiety Of
Mr.. ROuzeaud 1T to lie known as the
''huslmnd O: star" 1t is foolish for
some people to insinuatc that this couple,
did not love each other. SOOn after her
husband had been taken from her to u
private nladllOuse Nine. Nilsson said to
me: II am left alone in this world, and
deprived Of q friend whom allOred and
aud who fully returned my alteration.
Those few persons who have been inti-
mate with NJ. and Nine. Rouzeau know
that this was the.truth. But to be know
among his fellOw-frcnchmen rs the
mari lie PctOiic was more than he could
bear.
HIS dream was to I've in domestic life
more magnificent than even the inn
prexari0s in their green rooms. This
dream for awhile. seemed on the point
of being realized through the CuiOn
Generate. He was the cousin Of NJ.
FEEDER, the sovereign master Of that
hank Of the Arabian Nights; and this
same cousin gave him private points
which many anOth broker would have
been only too glad to get even ut fO nth
hand. Fifteen days more, and he would
have held fortune in his grasp large
enough to permit his wife to rest and
enjoy the glory which she has so nobty
earned. Theatrical ovatiORs never
pleased him. His dignity WIS offended
ut certain associations. He was not II

Mime. Nilsson, "that have constantly
refused every engagement which l have
been offerc.lt to sing in Paris; and it Is
for the same reason that endure with
out weakness the odiOus calunlntes that
have been printed against me." This
was not the first time that the deceased
broker had suffered from insanity. some
six years ago he had an attack Of the
same dread disease while with his wife
in the United States. At that time
Mime. Nilsson herself cured her hus-
band, aud the world was none the wiser
for his illness. This insanity seems IT,
