Correspondence Post Dispatch

Paflsian correspondence Post Dispatch.
The second daughter of Isaac Singer is to
become tho Duchess de Cazes Her fiauce
Ellie de Cazes, is ason of the celebrated minis
ter OF whom Bismarck said THAT man is like
an ivory ball in perpetual motion. | never
succeed i'll hitting him twice in the same
place"
The young people met at the residence OF
Nine. Carlotta Patti, and do net believe that
love at first sight will be DESTROYED by the
millions to which Miss Singer is hoiress
When Isaac Singers will was admitted to pro-
bate, of the S20,O00,000 he left, 81 800 COO was
placed to the account of Isabella Blanche, the
future Duchess de CAFES. Some think that
since that time this money has almost been
doubled; others, that as the management Of
the estate was, TO some extent in The hands
of the Due de Campo-Selice, Isabelus
stepiather, large portion of her money was
invested in wonderful violins and violoncellos
Jean-Elie-Octave-Lou is-Sever-Amanieu Duo
dc Cazes and DE Giucksburg, is not "A years
old, and is even smaller than tho present Duo
dc Morny niclI.nained lie Petit Due" Miss
Singer, on the contrary, is tall, much taller
than her elder sister, the Princess de Schey-
Montbclliard, l have noticed, however. since
the engagement, that she has become shorter,
while the Due seems TO have added to his
stature. Those who are always ready with
explanations say that now the Due wears ex-
ceptionally high heels. while Miss Singer pre-
iers boots in style quite the reverse Of Louis
XIV. style.
The now duchess will have for mother-in-aw
one OF the most admired and tho most beloved
leaders of French society. Since the death Of
her husband, fifteen months ago, tho Duchess
dc Cazes has lived in seclusion, but before chat
event her apartments ut tho Chateau Ia Grave
were among the most magnificent in France.
The duchess is not classed with the beautiful
women Of France, but with those who bear tho
palm for elegance, and, wlSf is rarer, peneyo--
lc1lce. When SepefiIe de SoWenthal married
Louis, Due dc Cazes, she and her husband
were the most intimate friends of the Orleans
princes, and that friendship became more in
dissolnble as the years went on. After Comte
de Paris return from exile in 1870, the Chateau
d Eu was one Of the homes always ready for
the Duchess de Cazes, and when, during the
presidency of Marshal MacMahon, the duke
was made minister of foreign affairs, then the
duchess showed of what she was capable. Gra-
cious to all, when she left tho most difficult
position possible for grand dame to fill she
was regretted by high and low, by the repre-
sentatives of foreign courts as well as by the
humblest Paris shopkeeper appointed to office
under republican government. What should
be thoroughly understood by the wife of every
man in high position was fully conprchended
by the Duchess de Cazes-the importance
of her mission, tho responsibility OF
her situation. The Duchesse dc Cazes is tho
daughter of Baron General de Lowenthal, field
marshal in the Australian army; her mother.
Polish countess, Wylezynska, is noted through
out Europe for her tiny feet. Baron dc Low
enthal must be over 80 years old, but gives enc
the impression that he has seen no more than
sixty summers.
The marriage OF Miss Singer will take place
at the church OF st. Pierre dc Chailot where
was married in 1886 the dues only sister, now
CounteSse Deliile-Sardilys, and the reception
will be held at the residence Of the Duchesse
hi Campo-Selice, u Avenue Kleber.
