she passed she turned over all the
money and creature comforts sent her
by her friends to her fellow inmates
, and won the confidence and respect of
her keepers. At st. LaZare she was
adOred, atheist that she was, by the at
tendant sisters of charity. Being al
lowed there as u political prisoner a
large degree Of liberty, she conducted
during her stay a veritable charity en-

and keep employed her numerous pro-
teges.
One day in 1888 she set out In a new
black cashmere dress for lecturing

later she returned TO her scandalized
mother minus the dress lin her petit
coat, having found somewhere In her
journey a poor woman who was In
need of clothes.
Two of her friends met her in the
street one midwinter night shivering in
u suit of rags. They prevailed upon her
with great difficulty to enter n shop.
where they bought her n complete new
outfit. She insisted on taking her rag
