A Little Court Lady.

Even a Princess was not to be en-
We'd in he early days.
Francoise-Marie de Bourbon was
born in May, 1877. She vas the
daughter of a king-that king who
rejoiced in being called the "Grand
Monarch" the "Sun King" and any
other titles his subjects could sug-
gest to fatter him.
Nobody nowadays would like to
change places with her. She wore
pearls in her hair, and her gorgeous
silken gown was made at the facto-
ries either of Lyons or Genoa. Her
dress was so long that she could not
run about, and even when she grew
up she hated to walk, and was trun-
died about the beautiful gardens at
Versailles in a little carriage some
thing like a jinrikisha, drawn by a
man. The "body" of her gown, as
they called the waist, was made per-
fectly stiff with ~whalebones, or even
splinters of wood, which we're so i'll
trimmed that they pierced the flesh.
Shoes she had on, and stockings,
too, no doubt, as they began to be
woven in France, about 1856; but of
warm underclothes she knew moth
ing, and often shivered with the cold,
for there were scant means of heat
ing the great stone palaces, and many
of the windows were without glass,
owing to its excessive cost. Indeed,
as the king moved from one palace
to another the windows were some
times carried along, as even he did
not have all his windows glazed.
Little Marie never cared for read,
ing as a pleasure, but had her ladies
read to her every night to put he1
to sleep; and as for writing, she
could not even sign her name. What
did little Marie know? She could
dance beautifully long and intricate
figures, and, like other little girls Of
her age, she could ride, and she could
"cast a falcon" from her wrist wher
she went a hawking.
There was no romping up anc
down stairs. Our little lady walked
very carefully down the broad stairs
with a lackey on either side holding
her arms, and a page or two carrying
such trifes as her kerchief and he1
fan, or her mask if she was to gc
riding in the gilded coach with si1
horses.
