The sketch of Josephine with which Miss
Tarbell has rounded out her Life of Ma
poleon' contains much picturesque and deft-
ly arranged material. A little story 10 de-
light all women and observers Of women
tells OF a yelled feminine duel between the
Empress and her sister-in-law. Pauline:
The tact and good sense with which Jo-
sephine conducted herself in her eXactins
and slavish position-the grace and patience
with which she wore her royal harness, are
as pathetic as they are marvellous. To rule
her household. with all the jealousies and
meannesses natural to such a combination
of women. so that there would be no scan
dals. and that the members would respect
and love her. was n delicate task: but she
never failed in IL. She kept their love. ana
she kept her supremacy-even the suprem-
acy OF beauty. There were many OF the
young women received by the First Consul
who were glad enough TO try TO outshine
Josephine: but she almost always outwitted
them. An amusing example of her skill il
an encounter that occurred between her and
her stster-in-law, Pauline. Pauline, who
was young. vivacious and very pretty. al
ways resented n little the charm that Jo-
sephine exercised. and she took no small
pleasure in trying TO Guido her.
In 1903 she was married to the Prince
Borghsse. at the Chateau of Joseph Bonl-
parte, Motefontaine. A few lays after her
marriage. she appeared in Paris. where she
was presented officially at St Cloud. Ii was
natural enough that Pauline should desire
to outshine everybody at this presentation.
but Josephine desired particularly that she
herself should not be SO thrown into the
shadow that Napoleon would notice it. She
did a very clever thing Although II was win

TOPAZ AND SHELL THE
CRAZE IN SMART FlNERY,

Last winter the fashionable woman who
could not possess a pearl or two in her
jewel box felt that all the world stood
awry. Every woman she knew wore pearls
set In some form or other. and during the
craze diamonds for a time lost their pres
tige.
Just now jewellers are polishing up and
setting their supply Of topaz. for the time
seems ripe for a temperance of the golden
stone. Topaz must be set with amethysts
and sapphires to give the good effect of
contrasts. Sapphires more particularly will
be favored. so nearly does the blue match
the glowing purple of the corn flower.
The jewelers. windows show topazes won

tortoise shell. combs fretted out as fine as
lace work and sprinkled everywhere with
topaz in every shade. from pale straw color
to deepest yellow.
Tortoise shell Is the chosen setting for
the new favorite. and besides the fancy
combs. wonderful bracelets are being made
of the richly-colored shell. Scarcely brace
let's or bangles are these new ornaments,
but old-fashioned armlets. that CLASP the
