WHEElING REGISTER SUNDAY, OCTOBER Is, 1888.

President of the French Republic, be-
cause that name cannot be separated
from the history OF France"
Nine. Carnot is said to seem triie
Purltanieal In appearance, and 1t may
be that this very quality makes her
more attractive In the eyes OF French
men. She is not young woman, for
she is a grandmother. But there are
times when she seems not more than 25
wears old. There isn't & wrinkle on her
serene face, nor thread OF silver in
her black hair, and her dark eyes are as
brilliant as those Of young girl.
Nine. Carnot tries to be the first
lady" OF France in every sense. Being
a French woman, the item Of dress comes
near the head of the list. Felix is her
favorite couurrier, and instead OF order
lag q gown without troubling ss TO Its
selection, she holds long and frequent
consultations with the man milliner.
She is we'll read ana we'll Informed on
the subjects Of the day. Not French
woman understands better than Nine.
Carnot the political situation OF Europe.
She speaks English tiuently, and is even
more charming because OF a slight deaf
ness, which she transforms Into sn at
traction. Before her husbands election
10 the Presidency Nine. Carnot was
known only as good wife and mother,
devoted to the interests Of her husband
and the education OF her children. Her
home was simple, and neither she nor
her husband cared much for society.
Until she became the wife OF the
President ball at the Elysee Palace
had been function dreaded by all. NJ.
Grevy had always invited so many peo-
pie that at least third Of the guests
never reached the ballroom, and more
than one-half failed 10 even SEQ the
supper tables. With the Csrnot regime
came new order OF things. Nine.
Carnot had an immense gallery con-
structed In the garden. 1t was 100 by
100 feet, was hung with tapestry, gor-
geously upholstered in yellow brocade,
and ornamented with masterpieces OF
art. The Carnot balls at once became
success.
Nine. Carnot's dinners are perfect.
She enters the dining room at the exact
hour named, and the rule OF punctual-
fly has been impressed on many an Of
fetal hitherto noted for hardness.
The family of Mime. Carnot has been
brought up strictly to obey the doctrines
of the Roman Catholic Church. There
are three sons, the youngest OF whom
has inst finished his studies at the Jan
son Lyceum, and one daughter, to
whom Nine. Carnot owes the privilege
OF being 4 grandmother. Every New
Years Day the poor children Of Paris
are bountifully supplied with gifts from
the Eysee Palace, and to them Nine.
Carnot is the personifcation of charity.
To others she stands for a representa-
ton OF the spirit OF the country which
is symbolzed now, not by bold, daring
Goddess OF Liberty" but by 3 charming
woman, surrounded by flowers, family
and friends.
Whom the Prince OF Monaco visited
Mr.. Carnot, he said to the Presidents
wife:
I'm this chosen country, where we
come to learn great things, there is one,
Madame, that we study with passion,
without even knowing the secret; 1t is
the charm OF the French woman, who
attracts by her grace, retains By her
wit, and attaches by her heart. "
All of which he meant for the charm
ing woman he addressed.
