Napoleon was anxious to have Gen.
eral Marmot marry bis sister Pauline,
but the willy old soldier refused to
make the flrt his bride. Then Napo-
leon turned to General Leclerc. who
really loved Pauline, and they were
welded. Lcclcrc was then sent as
head Of the French expedition to Haiti.
Pauline going along under protest Le-
clerc died Of fever In Haiti. and Pau
line returned to France with his body.
After time Pauline. whom Lyndon
Orr In Munsey's describes as a "feath.
or headed, languishing, beautiful, dis
tracing morsel Of frivolity," resumed
her heartbreaking tactics.
Presently 1t became noised about"
writes Mr.. Orr, "that Prince Camille
Borghese was flirting desperately with
Pauline. The prince was an excellent
specimen of the fashionable Italian.
He was immensely rich. His palace Mt
Rome was filed with artistic treas.
ure. He was the owner, moreover, Of
the famous Borghese Jewels, the finest
collection of diamonds In the world.
Napoleon rather sternly insisted
upon her marrying Borghese. Fortu-
nately the prince was very willing to
be connected with Napoleon, while
Pauline was delighted at the idea OF
having diamonds that would eclipse
all the gems which Josephine possess
ed, for, like all the Bonapartes. she
detested her brothers wife. So she
would be married and show her dia-
monds to Josephine. 1t was a bit OF
feminine malice she could not resist.
"The marriage took place very quiet
ly at Joseph Bonaparte's house be-
cause of the absence OF Napoleon, but
the newly made princess was invited
to visit Josephine ut the palace of
ST. Cloud. Here was to be the tri-
umph OF her life. She spent many
days In planning toilet that should
he absolutely crushing to Josephine.
Whatever she wore must be back
ground for the famous diamonds. Final
~ she decided on green velvet.
"Whcn the day came Pauline stood
before mirror and gazed at herself.
with diamonds glistening In her hair.
Shimmering around her neck and fas-
tened so thickly on her green velvet
gown us to remind one of moving
Jewel casket. She actually shed tears
of Joy. Then she entered her carriage
and drove out to st. Cloud.
But Josephine, though no longer
young, was woman of great subtlety
as well as charm. Stories had been
told to her of the green velvet, and
therefore she had had her drawing
room rcdecorated in the most uncom-
promising blue. 1t killed the green vel
vet completely. AS for the diamonds,
she met that maneuver by wearing not
single gem Of any kind. Her dress
was an Indian muslin with broad
hem of gold.
"Her exquisite simplicity, coupled
with her dignity of bearing made the
Princess Pauline, with her shower of
diamonds and her green velvet dis
played against the blue, seem abso
lutely vulgar. Josephine was most gen
erous In her admiration of the Bor
ghese gems, and she kissed Pauline on
departing, The victory was hers.
