Marie Antoinette..

Mario Antoinctte, the daughter OF
Francis j. and Maria Theresa, En-
pcror and Empress OF Austria, was
born on November 2, 1755, during the
earthquake at Lisbon. # NJ n En-
When she Wils twelve years old the
Z 1Jmprcss told her tlint wl1el, she wa 8
fifteen she was TO be the wife of Louis q,
XVI. King OF France. Marie toll
meteor hearing this, Jumped from l g
which frightened the Empress. S115
WlMt Is tho matter with you, my
cliild?" she said. Marie Antoinettc re-
piled:
My tutor read me d story about an
d magic glass in her Kingdom and wish
ed to know what would become OF her
descendants who nscended tho throne
Of France. In the first picture ~ the
mirror si1c saw one who would be
then che saw d man on the throne
who would be called Louis XVI; then
q cloud passed over the mirror, and
after the cloud had passed she saw
snakes and lizards climbing up on the
throne" J.
''rhis is truly q horrible story
said tho Empress. But you must keep
down the snakes and lizards. So she
dismissed her.
When Marie lAntoinette was fifteen
she was married to Louis.
There were great many. people
who disiiked her because she, an Aus
trian, should BIO the future Queen OF
France. .99#s
When sho was nineteen the old King.
Louis XIV, died and she became Queen
Marie Antoinette.
One evening. soon after she became
Queen, she Was to receive Home Other
subjects. among which were some worry
Just az one was introduced Marie Ans
toinctte glanced behind .ne throne and
saw one OF the prIncesaes Initiating the
old lady, and she laughed out loud, and
that made great many more enemies NJ
about a diamond necklcss, which she
had refused to accept when her hus-
band wanted to buy X for her. and told
him to buy a siltp with the money he
would have spent on the NECKLACE Tho
5cwcler some years after made tile pco-
pie believe that she had bs,ight the
necklace secretly. and though this was
not true. II connected the Queens name
with a dreadfully dishonest thing. and
the French people madcsit an excuse
I, to dislike her all the more.
They accused her then OF getting
drunk, and said all kinds Of scandalous
things about her, and made her son
say things against her. and finally put
her in prison with all her family she,
with them all. escaped twice. And
then Louis XVI, was beheaded.
Great care was taken of Marie An
toinette. and q Fabulous sum of money
was paid for her food IN the prison.
which was like castle.
Finally she was tried. but II was only
mock trial. for the people had made
,ip their minds to behcad her before.
On October Is, 1893, she was be-
headed.
She had been much abused in France
and every other country, but In spite of
her many friyo1ities. she had great
deal of sense. and was u much stronger
character than her husband.
