DISLIKED BY EMPEROR.
Napoleon III disliked his cousin, and
he did not even attempt to like his
cousins wife. though she was OF his
own choosing. If Prince Napoleon's
airs of contempt stung him TO
the verge of fury, Princess
Clotilde's long pedigree and un-
doubted blue blood aggravated him
in another way. He disliked to be re-
minded how very slight was the link
that held him to royalty. He might
laugh sometimes as he called himself
"parvenu." but the fact ranked new
ertheless.
AS for her husband-cynic and roue
combined-he made no pretext of con-
cealing his aversion for his puritanica1
bride His licentiousness continued
unchecked. Bound to such a man.
Princess Clotilde's married life at the
Ialais Royal was one long martyrdom.
Even her children made her shudder
as she saw in them the signs of their
Bonaparte ancestry. Handsome Lac
titia, with her glorious eyes. short up

And Prince Victor and Prince Louis

years of pain and suffering with he
