March 8, 1896, Josephine and Ma
poleon were married according to
Revolutionary form. This simply re-
quired that they present themselves
before a magistrate and declare their
union. The sacredness of all human
swept away by the Revolution.
Twelve days after the nuptials,
Napoleon fastened to the forces in
Italy over which he had been APP
pointed commanders. We all know
how with those half famished troops
he secured signal triumph. The news
of his success day after day, filled all
Paris with the widest enthusiasm.
Josephine soon Joined her victorious
husband in Italy, where they took up
their residence at the Castle of Mont
ebello. Here, as elsewhere her sweet
ness and grace fascinated all who
came in contact with her. Whether
entertaining at a small dinner party
or presiding over some more formal
function. she was ever the same
gracious hostess; following no IRON
clad rules OF etiquette-She was a law
unto herself.
1t was at this time that Napoleon
said Of her, II conquer provinces, but
Josephine wins hearts"
/ might continue the story of Jose
phine to a great length by relating
how, in Italy or Paris, presiding at
social functions where were gathered

miniStering in tender sympathy to

her bed and hastily folding q cloak
about her person, she sped down the
roadway in her bare feet, entering
the carriage just as it was leaving
the gate. Throwing herself into the
arms of her astoniShed husband she
begged to be allowed to accompany
him. Wrapping his own travelling
cloak about her, he left orders for
Josephine'S attendants to follow at
daybreak with her wardrobe. The
pathway of Josephine's life with Ma
poleon was not strewn with roses all
the way. Her greatest trials were yet
to come. Her very loyeliness Of charac-
ter and person were the means used
by evil-minded, jealous relatives to
interfere with her happiness. She
always cheerfully assisted Napoleon
in every plan he suggested for the
advancement of any member of his
family, and was never known to in-
jure them by word or act.
They, however, were jealous Of Ma
poleon's love for her and her influence
over him; complained of her extrava-

intimated that the homage paid her
by gentlemen of rank was not legiti-
mately her due because of her purity
