The salon of Nine. Recamier was
not in any sense philosophical or polit-
ical, but after the cruel persecution of
La Harpe, the Punishment of Nine. de
Stael, and the similar misfortunes of
other friends, her sympathies were too
strong for her diplomacy, and it grad
ually fell into the ranks Of the OppOsi-
ton. It was well known that the en-
peror regarded all who went there rs his
enemies, and this young and innocent
woman was destined to feel the full bit
! terness of his petty dispLeasQca.

But the position in which one Is most
inclined to recall Nine. Recalnier is in
the convent of Bots, where,
Invested of fortune and living in the
simplest manner, she preserved for nearly
thirty years the fading traditions Of the
old salons. Through all the changes
which tried her fortitude and revealed
the latent heroism of her character, she
seems to have kept her sweet serenity
unbroken, bending to the passing storms
with the grace of facile nature, but
Aever murmuring at the inevitable. One
may find in this infexible strength and
gentleness of temper clew to the subtle
fascination which held the devoted
friendship of 50 many gifted men and
wemen long after the fresh charm OF
youth was gone.-Amelia Gere Mason
