Rue de Grenelle. A queer picture 1t is
in many ways. 1t gives reason to think
that the state of mind to which Lady
Meg had now come is but mildly de-
scribed as eccentricity.
The eminent Lord Dunstanbury,
Lady Meg's father, had been one of
that set of English Wings and Liberals
who We're much at home in Paris in
the days of the July monarchy. Among
his friends was certain Marquis de
Savres, the head Of an old French fam
lily of royalist principles. This gentle
man had, however, accepted the throne
Of Louis Philippe and the political
principles and leadership of G,lizot
Between him and Lord Dunstanbury
there arose a close intimacy, and Lady
Meg as girl had often visited in the
Rue de Grenelle Changed as her
views We're and separated as she was
from most of her fathers coterie in
Paris. friendship and intercourse he
tween her and the Sayres family had
never dropped. The present head of
the family was Casirnir de Savres, a
young man of twenty eight, an officer
of cavalry. Being a bachelor, he pre-
ferred to dwell in a small apartment
on the other side Of the river, and the
family house In the Rue de Grenelle
stood empty. Under some arrange
ment, presumably business one, for
Marquis de Savres was by no means
rich, Lady Meg occupied the first floor
OF the roomy old mansion. Here she
is found established. With her, besides
three French servants and an English
coachman-she has for the time ap-
parently shaken of the spaniels-is
Mile. Sophie de Gruche, in whose favor
Sophy Crouch has effected an unob-
trusive disappearance.
This harmless If somewhat absurd
transformation was carried out with a
futile elaboration smacking of Lady
Meg's sardonic perversity rather than
Of Sophy's director methods. Sophy
would probably have claimed the right
to call herself what she pleased and
left the world to account for her name
in any way it pleased. Lady Meg must
needs fit her up with story. She was.
the daughter of creole gentleman
married to an English wife. Her moth
er being early left a widow, Sophy had
been brought up entirely in England;
hence her Indifferent acquaintance
with French. If this excuse served a
purpose at first, at any rate it soon be-
came unnecessary. Sophy's marked
talent for languages (she subsequently
mastered Kravonian. very difficult
dialect, in the space Of few months)
made French a second native tongue
to her within year.
The times We're stirring, prelude to
the great storm which was SO soon to
follow Paris was full of men who in the
next few years We're to make or lose
fame, to rise With bound or fall with
crash. Into such society Lady Meg's
name, rank and parentage would have

Women Who Wear Wen.

It Is astonishing how great change q
lew years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from q
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.

Nature has provided the stomach with

gestive juices, and it is through these
juices that the food we eat is acted
upon in such way as to produce the
rich, red blood that flows through the
veins of our body and thereby makes
US strong, healthy and robust, and it is
the weakening of these digestive juices
that destroys health. 1t is our own
fault if we destroy our own health, and
