ROMANCE OF A WEDDING RING.
Lost For Many Years and Restored on the
Golden Wedding.

The fourth year of my residence at the
palace was marked by family event-the
golden wedding" or fftieth anniversary
de Taschor Go la Pageric, which was cele-
brated at Baden Baden in the presence of
all their children and grandchildren.
A curious circumstance occurred on this
occasion which is worthy of mention. The
Princess) Comtesse de Tascher had lost,
many years before, her wedding ring, to
her great distress, and it had never been
found. Shortly before the festivities of
the golden wedding the Duchess of Ham
ilton, on looking over the jewels left by
her mother the Grand Duchess of Baden,
whose death had occurred during the pre-
ceding winter found a small packet label
ed: 1.-THE wedding ring of Amelie Won der
Leyen, sold by jew peddler as having
belonged to the Empress Josephine. To
be returned" 1t was evident that the
grand duchess, who was the most forgetful
of women, had put this away carefully and
entirely forgotten it. The Duchess OF
Hamilton, seeing the inscription engraved
inside, Louis de Tascher de la Pagerie-
Amelie Won der Leyen," with the date of
their marriage, sent it to the count with
the above explanation. He kept the mat
ter secret till the golden wedding" when
the ring which had been lost for so long
was again placed on the finger of the Prin-
cess Amelie Won der Leyen on the fiftieth
anniversary of the marriage which had
taken place under the sad circumstances
already related. In the Tuileries
Under the Second Empire" by Anna L.
Bicknell, in Century.
