LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
Elizabeth Patterson was the daughter
of william Patterson rich merchant
of Baltimore. a man who had made his
money by hard work and whose wealth
at the time of the close of the reyolu- :
tionary war was computed To he as
great as that of Charles Carroll. of Car
rollton. The child was born in Febru-
ary. 1885. and in her earliest youth gave
promise OF the loyeliness into which she
later developed. In the summer of 1909
she was in the first flush of womanhood,
the reigning belle of the little city of
Baltimore, where her fathers ample
means enabled her to lead among the
fashionables of the place.
| NAPOLEON was at this time first consul
of France, and the eye of the world
centered on his rising ambition. Young
Jerome Bonaparte, brother to Napo-
leon, came on a visit to America in
this year, and while here was made
the lion of the day, feted in New York,
feasted in Baltimore. 1t was while at
the races in the latter city that he saw
for the first time the beautiful Miss
Patterson, and Is proved to be a case Of
love at first sight, for the young man
instantly declared himself a captive
to her charms.
Mr.. Patterson, who had no weakness
for titles, discouraged the suitor. but
Elizabeth. who loved rank above all
.hlnss, declared that sne would not
Nono,oon ..1 would r,ther no 80 ,,,,e
NJ Terome Ronanarte for an hour thon
the wife of anv other man for life -
she declared So on Chr,stmas eve
1909. the wedding took nIace in the
Cathedral at Baltimore the ceremony
being performed by the Rev. John Car
roll, bishop of Maryland. The brides
gown was an exquisite one of richly
embroidered muslin, the picture she
made being one of ravishing beauty.
Some time was then spent by the happy
couple in travel and entertainments,
but Mr. Patterson, whose Judgment did
not approve Of the match, set to work
| at once, now that the marriage was a
fact, to see that his daughters position
would be recognized by the BOnapartes
in Europe. The first news that reached
America was that Napoleon was highly
enraged at the fact that his brother
dared to marry without his consent,
and the mail brought the disturbing
advices that the marriage would not
be regarded as legal by the laws OF
France.
