The Duchess de Gramont was one of her god

nected with the De Wsgrsm Berthiers. The
baptiemal ceremony was held at O'Clock in
the afternoon. Mile. Rothschild was dressed
In white muslin and wore no Jewels. There
was short address, in the course of which
she was told that she was as innocent as on
the day of her birth, and was exborted TO
maintain that innocence by means of the
sacraments to which she would shortly be
admitted. Her yearly income is said to
be Gl20,000. The Boulevard gszetres de-
clare that she is queen of beauty. Is
1t possible that with such fortune she
could be anything less? The truth is that
she is very Rothschild in personal appear
ance. In the contract she is styled Berthe
Marie de Rolhscbild. The "Marie" was
given to her at her baptism and the "de" in
