was enthroned, and very vulgar democ-
racy at that. The dinners at the execu-
tive mansion were more remarkable for
the amount Of wine consumed than for
the wit displayed. Nine. Carnot changed
all this, and during the Carnot admin
istration a state dinner was feast of
reason and a flow of soul, with, of course,
a slight dash of wine in it.
Mme Carnot is of medium height.
with an olive complexion and Roman
features. She devotes her mornings to
her family and personally looks after
the education Of her children. She
speaks English and Italian and has a
fair knowledge Of other useful Ian
guages. One thing that has made Nine.
Carnot the great social success that she
has been during her late husband's s term
of office is the fact that she is without
doubt the best dressed woman in all
France. Youth seems bound to her by
the ties of health and amiability, and
her numerous admirers say she will
look five and twenty to the day Of her
death despite the presence of married
daughter in the house. She takes great
interest in the welfare of women, and
despite her impaired hearing she has al
ways turned anything but deaf ear to
the plants Of the poor and unfortunate.
Her married life with NJ Carnot was
very happy, and his tragic end has been
a terrible blow.
