aged woman who was once the beautl-
sui and brilliant Empress Eugene.
France, now more than thirty years
q republic, no longer forbids its former
sovereign to pass her closing days amid
the scenes of her triumphs and her
disillusionment. The brief and glitter
ing glories of the ill-omened Second
Empire are too wholly faded to invest
with any dangerous suggestion the
presence of her who ono was the most
dazzling Of them all. They and she
belong to history now-so much so, and
so little to the present. that young stu
dents who read eagerly of Sedan and
the Commune and the fight of the
Empress from the Tuilleries are often
startled to find that she still lives.
