He had Karls promise TO call on
Lady Hamilton. Now, the only
thing was TO see the fair circe herself,
pique her curiosity and intensity her
already awakened interest He de-
termined, therefore, to seek an inter-
view as Early as possible the next day.
Lady Hamilton was an astonishing
example OF the rise OF woman from
the most profound depths OF poverty
to the most splendid submits OF pros
perity and power She was the Greek
Aspasia, the Egyptian CLEOPATRA, and
the Roman Messalina all in one.
Emma Lyons was born In England
of the most humble rarentage. Her
early girlhood was passed as wait
ress in London tavern, not OF the
best class. by some means or other,
she managed to attract the ate n
ton of the painter Romney, then
ut the height of his fame, who easily
induced her to sit as his model. The
picture crea ed furore, and the orig
inal soon found herself the most cele-
brated demi mondaine of London.
From one intrigue she passed to an
other, and her caprices and extrava-
gances were the talk of the town.
She was by no means without brains,
and she made every effort to improve
her lack of education in every direc-
ton, her musical ability, especially,
proving far above the average.
Finally. Sir William Hamilton. who
had recently been appointed British
am bassador TO the court of Naples, In
attempting to save his nephew from
the tolls OF the siren, became desper-
nte y enamored Of her himself.
She consented 10 accompany him to
Naples, but only-as his wife The

with him she went, now Lady Ham

rs she was, to pick mp as much science
and politics as size needed TO know;
and soon, TO all those who frequented
Sir Williams salons, Lady Hamilton's

Her triumph was not to end
there. Scarcely was she presented

her intimate friend, and made her
her confidant and fayorite.

Such was the woman by whom the
Chevalier de Carnelles was rcceived

Spain, and whom he counted upon 70
