Some interesting details concerning the
lives of some dozen eminent French
widows nave come to light. It appears
that Nine. MacMahon, the wife of the
Marshal and President of that name,
declined to accept a state pension when
offered to her. She is. however, well
provided for, and during the winter is
to be found in her mansion, situated in
the Rue de Be~llechasse, but during the
summer months she retires to her cha
teau in the Loiret. The Royalist circles
in which she moves are of a very select
and exclusive nature. Nine. Carnot lives
ali SAlIGllGly TCl1TGu llG, DQl still re-
ceives the visits of princes and other
distinguished people who come to con-
dole with her. In her house she has a
little chapel, which she has arranged her
self and filled with souvenirs of her late
husband. She also, like Nine. MacMahon,
has declined a state pension.
The wife of the Grand Francois, M. de
Lesseps, spends the greater part of the
year at La Chesnage, where her husband
died. She receives a pension Of $24, 900 a
year from the Suez Canal Company. M.
P%asteur's widow has taken up her resi-
dence at the institute bearing her hus-
bands name, and is in receipt of a pen
sion OF $1,000 a year. One Of the most
active of these ladies is the wife eff
the historian, Michelet, who lives quite
alone and occupies her time in bringing
out new editions of her late husbands
works and editing the MSS. he left be-
hind, including his memoirs. Nine. Alex
andre Dumas, too, is busily engaged, but
in a different way, with her husbands
MSS, for her object is to prevent any
of the numerous works or fragments of
works left behind from being published.
The wife of the illustrious OF
Faust" Nine. Gounod, goes a step fur
ther than this and refuses to allow the
performance of some of Gounod's earlier
compositions on the ground that the rep
utation of the deceased musician might
suffer from the criticisms passed upon
them.
