net loss of from 4 to points right after
the call under scattered liquidation which
appeared to be inspired by the failure of
the weather map to show as much rain

Liverpool made a fairly steady show
ing and the market here steadied up
during the first hour on covering, some
support from trade sources and a little
New Orleans buying. Offerings were not
heavy and the market was about steady
during the middle of the morning with
prices . or points net higher.
Private reports of rain in Alabama
caused covering late in the noon hour,
on which prices rallied to about Fhurs-

sccial life of the French capital. had
been arrested on the double charge of
numbering her mother and her ar

was widely known as the most in
teresting and the most popular
woman In France. Always her salon
vas eagerly thronged by men and
women or distinction, among them
being no less a character than King
EDWARD of England.
1t will be remembered that Nine.
Steinheil was incarcerated in the
Seant Lazarre prison for nearly q
year awaiting trial. That during all
tliis time France remained in a state
OF excitement, the climax of which
came when the beautiful and mys-
terious red widow" had her trial
she was cquitted--triumpha on
all counts.
Now Nine. Steinhell has written
her memoirs. They Aare deeply in
tereating, not only because they tell
the story OF the remarkable career
OF a wonderful woman. but for the
! reason that in them IS contained a
vivid picture of the brilliant society
I OF Paris today.
The book opens with an account
OF the authors radiant and happy
Rirlhood on her fathers beautiful
estate in a country district In
France. 1t passes on to her marriage
with the artist, M. Steinheil, with its
resultant incompatibilities; then to
her conquest of Paris, reaching its
climax when as the intimate friend
and trusted adviser OF President
Faure, she ruled France for ten
years.
She tells of her intimate friend

The most startling and vivid part

terrible tragedy Tor watch she was
later put on trial. Nine. Steinheil
tells OF how she and her husband
and her mother had retired early

It is with the pen of an artist that
she paints the agony of the trial,

endured the stares of a hostile world,
while point by point her counsel
strove to prove her innocence; the
closing scene with Its verdict of not

court, blinded by a hundred waving

cheers.
