book while the kids played. She had
$1,000 year income, in her legal
separation from a flirting old husband
who had not appreciated her. She was
at peace. It never came into her
head to wish Malmaison hers.
Yet it was Josephine.
She had been married to de Beau
harnais at Croissy church when but
an awkward girl. She had fed to
Croissy when she found herself alone
again.
When she met Napoleon it was love
at first sight. In few months they
were married. On his return from
Italy, Josephine knew how great
country place to buy. What kind 90
she asked. "a chateau said Ma
poieon. Stately Malmaison flashed
across her mind. 81 know a place.
said Josephine, ''Malmaison, close to
Croissyi"
"Malmaison will be our home" he
said. The nation had put ST. Cloud
and Fontainebleau at his disposition.
He preferred Malmaison. 1T is our
own place. he said to Josephine.
France is a saving old land. Through
revolutions of the utmost violence, the

treasuring all things confided to them,
kept the raw material of that stage
setting.
Josephine reigned over the "home,'
an English word to which Napoleon
had taken a sentimental fancy. She
covered the park with flower beds,
planted fancy trees, built hothouses
and stocked the wood with thousands
of gay birds that come flying in clouds
to eat from si1ver-gilt trays perched
on acajou poles.
These were the happy days of Jo-
sephine. Only too soon, she was to
live alone again.
After her divorce-declared a state

empress. attributed 100000 francs a
year to her, with the chateaux of Ma
varre and Malmaison. To Ma1mafson
she retired, to be near to Napoleon
although she should never see him.
Again Malmaison became a silent
park AS suddenly as it had bloomed
into imperial activity, it faded to it's
former quiet Again a mother walked
with her two children in its shade
the children Eugene and Hortense,
now grown up.
Going through the grounds on a
cold, damp day with Gear Alexander.
Josephine took a chill-and died in
the great silk-hung bed, now part
of the museum exhibits.
After his return from E1ba, Napo-
leon revisited Malmaison. In spite OF
the giant work of gathering his
armies together once again. he spent
two days in dreaming over the chateau
and gardens.

his future?
This is the story of such a boy
whose young wife is about to hale
him into the divorce court at the ten
der age of "a, as related by the Sun
day World. This boy has faced many
charges homicide among them-but
1t is extremely doubtful if he has
ever passed through an ordeal SO dis
tasteful as that which awaits him
when he answers to the many charges
of cruelty, brutality and infidelity his
pretty girl-wife mentions in her bill of
particulars.

of Maryland's former governor, is the
