upon the throne one of the Bonapartes. A very large number of people are in favor of the return to a monarchy, and these constitute the royalsts of France. who are forever menace to the republic.
 Madame Loubet is not popular with these people for two reasons: First, because she is the wife of the President of France, and they do not admire a president; and sec ond because she does not cater to the aris- tocracy, but is apt to give dinners to for mer friends who have no titles and hold no political office, as to those of fine lineage.
 Madame Loubets husband receives a sal ary of $125, ,000 d year, which is great deal rendered into francs The state appropri- ates annually another $25,OO0, the latter be- ing for the expenses of the executive household. This large amount passes through the hands of Madame Loubet, and it is safe to say that she does not spend more than one-haf of II.
 The Elysee palace Is an immense place. supporting hundreds of servants and re- tainers of various kinds. The Presidents guards have their home there; also all the clerks connected with the government Therefore it is necessary to maintain a very nice establishment. The President has a chef whom the French call ''the chef de Bouch' of the President. He is assisted by four chefs. Each day the dinner Is planned and the menu is submitted to the President by Madame Loubet who has old fashioned ideas about pleasing the head of the family. If M. Loubet, President Of the French Republic, expresses a dislike for a certain kind of grape, that grape is cross ed off the family bill of fare; and so the menu Is moulded and built until it suits. In the summer and until quite late in the autumn. Madame Loubet lives in the Presidents palace at Rambouillet. This home is beautifully furnished at the ex pense of the state. and is maintained by the government Here madame practices the same economy. and here she enjoys her self in most simple fashion.
 It was charged against her when she came to the Elysee palace that she did not speak the best of French. There is a re- fnement of accent which is most charming, and which marks the lady from the ser want Madame Loubet speaks perhaps not the best of French and you notice there is a tendency toward the dialect of the people ever present when she talks; yet her voice has the soft accent of the south of France, and she pleases you when she speaks.
 It is said that under her sway the Ely see has reverted to the bourgeoise style of the Crews who were not aristocrats, but that she is not as economical as Madame Thlers, who was not always in pleasant frame of mind. It fact, 1t was charged against her that she haggled with the dea CTS and 'jawed' the servants, using the choices of French Billngsgate.
 Madame Loubet receives very hospitably, and during one day at Rambouillet was the recipient of fourteen informal calls. Six of the callers remained to luncheon, which

Vituperatlve Yet Charitable

From the Washington Post.
 The late Robert G. Ingersoll had a bluff way about his bestowal of favors, whether it was loan to friend or aims to a beg gar. In the spring of 1898 he came to Washington on some business His duties took him to the department of justice. As he came down he passed an old woman sitting on the doorsteps. She had a basket of violets. which partially proclaimed her as an object of charity. The big-hearted agnostic was in a hurry but he stopped long enough to reach in his pocket and toss her d half-dollar
 "There, mother" he said, "go and buy yourself some beer"
 No, I won't" said the old lady. "rll buy bread with that
 "Oh, you'll be so drunk in an hour that you couldn't find bakery" laughed Colo nel Ingersoll, as he walked away It was simply his manner of robbing his gener- osity of ostentation.

 Madame L5ubet. when she goes market ing. is accompanied by a French guard: for these are troublesome times in tho republic and there are those who are preiudiced against the president and his wife that they would very gladly wreak their ven- geanee upon an inoffensive woman.
 President Loubet is very anxious about the welfare of his wife and has been most cautious eyer since the fate of Elizabeth of Austria He will not allow madame to walk unaccompanied in the streets, and when she goes out on the simplest errdnd she must have mounted soldier on either side of her To prove that this is q nee essarY preeaution 1t need be mentioned that no less than four times during the past three months have suspicious persons been detected along the route apparently waiting their chance to strike down the wife of the President of the Republic
 Madame L0ubet's manner when shopping is almost misery. She haggles in person with the dealers; and il is declared that she returns her empty bottles to them and in sists that they credit her with an amount She shops a not the best places, but the popular markets, and when she goes out to buy her gowns which k very rarely, she chooses emporums upon streets that are by no means exclusive
 But only in this way is Madame Loubet unpopular with the people. Otherwise she is adored. Her easy way of driving with out a maids her democratic manner of be- ing always al home to former friends; the easy hospitality of her state dinners have all served to endear her to people who were disgusted with the airs of the former menage

A DAY SPENT WITH
 MADAME LOUBET

To spend a day with Madame Loubet is quite different from visiting Madame Faure who is an aristoerat and who though she is no longer in the Elysee Pal ee maintains more state in Paris today upon the income left her by the late Pres- dent Faure than Madame Loubet main- tains upon the enormous salary of the president of France. They say that Madame Faure, to live in such style us she now keeps up. even though in mourn ing weeds, must be henefiting by the deals which are laid at the door of the late president. But that is neither here nor there This has to do with the wife of the president of the French republic, the woman who today stands between the Bourbons. the Bonapartes and the throne; the woman who will hold the republic to- gether if ever a woman had 1t in her power to d9 so
 Madame Loube. was born, if not poor at least of humble percentage. Like Loubet. she came of the people. those whom the French call boureeoise. Her father Was from Pieardy; Very malicious aristocrats say that he was once a tramp, bur that is not proven.
 His name was Denis, and he worked as an ironmonger until he had saved enough money to start a store for himself. Trade in France as in America is the beginning of money, and soon he had nice little sum saved up. so that when his daugh- ter Marie fell in love with the young lay yer, Loubet, there was no objection to the marriage.
 The French think more of a dot than they think of love. Love without dot is impossible. The poor girl who falls in love goes to Paris and works out until she earns a small dover It is not an indepen- dent fortune by any means but it is sui ficient, when invested, to clothe her for the
