Nine. Dreyrus vt Home.

Mme. Dreytus hides her heroism
in shaded nook in the environs
OF Paris close to Mount ValerIen,
surrounded by her family and her
two children, according to Ladies'
Field.
With a steadfast confidence IN
the future, Mime Dreyfus has never
ceased to struggle with all her en-
ergy to prove her husbands inno'
cence, but at the samo time, with a
sentiment which does her honor,
she does not wish nor does she in
tend to annoy the public with the
alterations of hope and despair
which necessarily Oeset her.
The Froude gives an interview
one of the staff had with Nine.
Dreyfus, but there is little to learn
in IL except that Nine. Dreytus has
two charming children who play
about and come and go with that
childish indifference to their posi-
tion which pertains to their age.
One also learns that since the al
fairs Of the said Henri letters of
sympathy have poured in from all
parts and that visitors have been
very numerous.
In speaking Of her husbands
case Nine. Drcyius shows no anger;
she expresses the hope that the re
vision Of her husbands trial will
take place without duplicating 9th
ers, especially those in power-in
short, that there may be no painful
discloures, and that France may
not offer to foreign countries the
spectacle of her shame. Nine.
Dreyfus is evidently the true wife
of soldier, an ardent patriot, and,
IN spite of the atrocious injustice
of which she considers herself the
victim, she reserves for the army
all the respect which the traditions
Of her family and her affection for
her busbsDd have raised in her.
