When Love was toiling up the hill
There came a lady by
20 lady, help me If you will,
There's none SO weak as l."
You weak, dear Lover the lady cried,
You know that isn't true.
You rule the heart, the time, the tide
There's none so strong as you.".
And yet" said Love- I'm right, EN- So
My strength is NOT displayed
Except, dear lady, as you know,
When women give their aid"

The proposed sale of Mrs. Carrots jew
els in Paris has started the subject of jew
elry in general in feminine salons of fash
ion with a very particular reference to
the ornaments of the wives of presidents
of France.
Nine. Carnot's diamonds are for sale
The jewelry belonging to the wives of the
six presidents of the republic who have
occupied the Elysee is therefore the topic
of the hour in the feminine world of
Paris. And curious are some of the sto-
ries told about the tastes and means and
views of these ladies who succeeded, but
did not resemble each other. Nine.
Theirs jewels are described as being
fairly characteristic of a rich bourgeoise,
but nothing to boast of. This lady did
not approve of burying large sums of her
own or her husbands money in sleeping
stones. Nine Crews treasures were still
less of a fortune and consisted of a medi
OGRE riviere, few bourgeois rings and
pair of diamonds. When Nine. Carnot
came 10 the throne of the presidency she
felt the need of diamonds for her SORES,
and was DESTROYS of purchasing those
which are now about to be sold. But
though the means she possessed cannot
be termed very limited, she felt that it
would be imprudent TO spend such a large
sum for mere jewels Her husband, how
ever, considering that her position war
ranted and even called for the sacrifice,
urged her to carry out her intention, and
the purchase was made. OF all the six
lady presidents Nine. Casimir Perier pos
sesses far and away the most beautiful,
rich, and artistic jewelry, but her hus-
bands resignation gave Parisians but
very short time to admire it. These jew
els are heirlooms and have been in the
family for a very long time. If Nine.
Casimr Perier's parures are the most
brilliant and valuable those of Nine.
Faure are the most modest of ALL
When the wives of officials behold them
they exclaim "They are beautiful" but
when princesses glance at them, as they
dad lately, they purse up their lips and
say: They are the diamonds of the wife
of a president of the Chamber of Com
merce who has a balance at his bankers
Such, at least, As the verdict of Nine. Ma
rie Louise Melon, and she, having seen
them and heard the verdict of Processes,
must know. What few people are aware
sr,f. inv Is
the diamonds of Nine la Marachele Mac
Mahon. Here it is in brief; During the
reign of Nine. Theirs the shah of Persia
announced his intention of coming to Paris.
This was very good news, for no reigning
sovereign had paid a visit since the war.
He also had discreet inquiries made as to
the present Nine. Theirs would wish to
honor him by accepting. Now, this lady's
jeWelry, as we saw, was merely that of
rich hourgeoise, and she knew and la
mented it, She replied, therefore, that
riviere would be very acceptable. Nasr ed
Din, who never did anything by halves,
rummaged through his collection of pre-
cious stones and selected a number of dia-
monds which for size, limpidity and lus-
ter were marVels. But by the time the
shah got to Paris Nine. Theirs had be-
come a simple citizeness and Nine Mac
Mahon was raised to the rank of presl-
dente. ~. And 1t was the latter lady who re-
ceived the sumptuous riviere which the
former had graeiously consented to ac-
cept. Madame la marechale wore these
royal diamonds at all her receptions and
finally presented them as wedding gift
to her daughter-in-law, the Duchesse de
Chartres, who married Commander Mac
Mahon.
