Orleanists. exiled there. She Is related
to the Countess OF Paris, whose daugh-
ter, the Princess Helene OF Orleans,
was recently married 10 the Duke OF
Aosta.
AN EXILE WHO NEVER REIGNED.
The Countess is an interesting exile.
She has never reigned Dor the throne
OF France, and rather strangely, looks
down upon the ex-Empress Eugene as
part and parcel OF the Na,})leonism
which so often proved dangerous to
the house of Bourbon.
the Countess never expects TO see
the family restored to it's old-time glory
on French soil, although her son, Ia
nous as the Due d'Orleans. does. He is
capable OF any folly to get back 10
France, and has already been in prison
for breaking his exile. The young man
has surrounded himself with a large
number OF Impoverished and broken
down sprigs OF French nobility, and
supports a kind Of farce comedy court

His mother Is a fine, sensible woman,

The Deep blue OF the Pansy.

Sir Walter Besant.
What emotions does color call forth?
/ have always supposed that color ap-
peals to every one differently. Some
men are certainly quite Indifferent to
color, some are profoundly affected by
color. For instance, TO take my own
case. I think that blue affects me the
most. and of all the infinite varieties,
blue Of W s~hades-one, the deep. dark
blue which belongs to a certain kind Of
pansy. l m nothing which can be
compared with this hue. Ii is like an
ocean of lovely thoughts: IL suggests
possibilities beyond limit. ! am never
tired Of looking INTO this color, and I
know no other flower which possesses
that shade. II one were to gaze into II
long enough / am certain that one would
fall into a trance and see things un-
earthly. III ver / try to hypnotize my
self. II will be by the help OF the dark
blue pansy. The other shade of blue
which moves me Is the ure. sweet blue
of the nemophila. Ii Is one Of the 1ow-
ers of love. but low pure and holy, not
sensuous or passionate. OF other shades,
the crimson OF the linum rubrum. the
the pink and the white OF the apple
blossom. the white OF the jessamine-
no two whites are exactly alke-the
tender green of the young spring leaf,
the sea green OF the tangled seaweed-
all these appeal to me; ! find them all
exquisitely beautiful.
