DRESSMAKER IN PARIS.

Passing from this subject, Mrs. Gau-
din, as she has been known for years,
told of her departure from Spain to
Paris. There she set up a dressnIak-
ing establishment and room was doing
quite an extensive business. She
made dresses for many prominent wo-
men, as we'll as many Americans. 1t
was while in Paris that she thought Of
looking up her aunt Emilie-her
mothers sister, whom she had not
seen nor heard of in many years
While in France this aunt had married
man named Pinaud, and had started
with him for South America. That
was the last heard OF her. The plucky
Frenchwoman's health again failed
her. She was unable to attend TO her
business, and six years ago she was
nearly penniless.
Among the American women in
Paris who took an interest in Mrs
Gaudin WAS Mrs. Louis Jackson. The
latter had read somewhere that Pinaud
has amassed a large fortune in this
country, and she supplied the dress
maker with money to come to this
country.
On arriving and realizing the hope
less ness OF her task in searching fol
her lost relative, she began to worl
again as dressmaker. She had many

FICTION Is NOT MORE STRANGE
Than the Romantic Story Of Mrs. Gaudn's
Life.
SHOELESS WHEN GRANTED A DIVORCE.

New York April 25,-W Woven around
the one great fact that Mrs Eglautine
Gaudn, of WoodcliA, N. j., has unex
pectedly fallen into fortune estinIat-
ed at nearly $l7,O00000, is a story
which, il written by novelist, would
be treated as fiction only. Yet every
detail OF it is true.
Married and divorced, her children
lead, she has been q wanderer for
years. She has walked the streets Of
Madrid shoeless. She has starved al
most for want of the necessaries OF
life. She has slept on hard boards for
want Of bed. In fact, she is sleeping
that way now.
Mrs. Gaudin was born in Alsace,
Lorraine. Her father died when she
was very young, and her mother had a
difficult task in trying to educate and
bring up her children. Whea Eglan-
tine was old enough she was taught
dressmsking, and 1t was by this means
ru alter life that she made her living.
After the Franco Prussian war the
Gaudin family refused to live in their
native home as German subjects, so
they started for Spain, and it wGs in
Madrid that Eglantine met the man
he afterward married, and OF which
marriage

There Is no doubt that Mars is very like
the Garth. Its days and nights. its sum
