As She Looked When She Met
King Leopold.

Paris, Dec. 8.
%LEO DE MERODE is going
Jack to the stage again!
~ There is world of mean
ing. an interesting lesson of life, in
that single announcement.
The spoiled favorite Of King,
the petted darling of the theatrical
world, who once rolled in luxury, has
got to 90 back to drudgery after
years of ease with slim chances of
success.
Her youthful charm gone, her
face lined with advancing years. her
supple limbs stiffened, she will be
l. pathetic figure dancl. :; madly to
win back the favor of a tickle
public.
II was in 1888 tn, Cleo de Merode
first captivated the wicked old King
Leopold Of Belgium. She was then
. premiere danseuse, a first dancer
81 the Paris Grand Opera.
She was only seventeen years
old. and her youth greatly enhanced
her peculiar beauty. To-day she is
forty, an advanced age for one who
seeks to follow the strenuous calling
9. q dancer.
Her beauty, which was Consid-
cradle. had an almost sanity air.
Her calm, serene, unlined face
seemed utterly free from worldli-
ness and sensuality. This effect
was heightened in a great degree by
The famous bandeaux, an arrange
ment of black hair smoothed
down over her ears and forehead.
as in the women Botticelli painted.
Doubtless it was the contrast
she offered to her surroundings
and % the women with whom she
was most familiar that excited the
Imagination of old Leopold.
Within a few minutes of seeing
her, he presented himself to her
behind the scenes. That was the
beginning of period of fabulous
prosperity for the young dancer,
who was the daughter of a Paris
coal HEAVIER.
Leopolds presents to her in the
form OF diamond tiaras and other
objects of value were worth thou
sands of dollars. She went to Brus-
sells, the Kings capital, and danced
at an enormous salary for the de-
light of the Kings subjects. She
went to America for a brief period,
also at an enormous salary. Her
remuneration everywhere was in
comparably beyond what her natu-
raj ability would have brought her.
The King gave her some $4,000
shares in one Of his Congo rubber
companies. His favor brought her
in wealth from every direction.
The Paris newspapers were filed
with stories and pictures of her.
They christened her Cleopold, a
delicate allusion to her relations
with Leopold.
Falguiere, the greatest sculptor
in France, exhibited a nude statue
Of woman in the Salon. The
head was that of Cleo de Merode.
