LOUIS XIV TO MADAME DE MAINTENoN

Madame de Maintenon was one of the
most brilliant women in French history
of the seventeenth century. Born in
prison in 1885, FRANCHISE d. Aubigne in
1855, at the age of 80. became the second
wife of Louis XIV of France. Her name,
De Maintenon, is acquired through her
in 1914, the King making it marquisate
four years later.
In 1851, at a period when she had met
with reverses of fortune and was almost
penniless, she married Scarron, the fa-
nous wit and comic writer, and for nine
years she was not only his faithful nurse,
but an attraction to his house. where she
tried to bride the license of the con-
versation of the time. On the death of
tinued his pension to his widow, and even
increased it, which gave her the oppor-
tunity of entertaining and freqeunting
the literary society her husband had made
her acquainted with.
Madame Scarron was left a widow when
she was only five and twenty, and Is de-
scribed at that time as being tall and
with a fine figure. a smooth, beautiful
skin, light, pretty chestnut hair, a we'll
shaped nose, a clean-cut mouth, a noble,
sweet modest expression, and what made
her beauty more striking, the finest eyes
in the world. A writer thus describes her
mental attachments:
Her mind was just suited to her
beauty: large. gentle, pleasant and we'll
balanced. She never put hehself forward
as a beauty, though she had a thousand
undeniable charms; so that, joining her
good qualities to her beauty and wit, it
must be owned that she was worthy of all
the admiration she excited"
When the Queen died in 1888 it was
Madame. de Maintenon who brought to
Louis XIV his greatest consolation. A
year later when the Luxembourg was
besieged by the French the King in per-
son headed the army of 10000 troops. Dur
ing the time when thus absent he con-
tinually wrote to Madame de Maintenon,
and one of her notes in return has been
preserved. 1t lifts the veil for a moment:
"Sire, single day of your majestvs
absence is an age to me. I am satisfied
as to your feelings. but I cannot rest in
peace away from you. My whole happi-
ness. all the pleasure of my life, lie IN see

three husbands, and she ought to know
! II she doesn't what constitutes the model
husband.
This woman, by the way, was intro
duced to very clever man recently and
he was told that she was three times Il

OF course he "sat up and took notice."
Husbands all dead or--or-?" he stam-
mered in an undertone.

information given by the introducer.
"Oh. 1 see" he said. facetiously. Two
failures and a fire."

of rues-or whatever you might call
thenl-I believe she referred to them as
1.-THE seven attributes of the model hua-
band,' and gave them out accordingly:
First" said she, "hei must be man.
No woman wants molly coddle for a
husband?"
! Second
HE should obey both the spirit and the
letter of the marriage vow-to love, honor
and cherish his wife,"
Third
HE should not always expect his vile
I to be smiling and Sinking, especially at
brea kfast time. He should remember that
he has married q woman and not a smil-
ing machine"
Fourth
HE should consider his wife his equal
in all things and allow her the same free
dom to do as she pleases, as he assumes
as his right"
| Fifth
'If he wants to spend his evenings at
the club, then he should not object TO his
wife going to an occasional evening bridge
| party, or suffrage lecture
| Sixth
"He should allow his wife to manage the
household, bring up the children, and al
Just all domestic troubles without his in
reference"
Seventh
He should see to 1t that his part of the
business Of partnership in the marriage
contract is we'll fulfilled and that there
is money for all necessary expenses and
he should give his wife a check book So
| that she won't have TO ask him for car
fare every time she goes downtown. II Is
his duty to provide for his family without
any more comment on the subject than
his wife should make concerning her pare
of having the meals ready at the az
pointed hour, the chldrens faces washed
and their hair brushed and their little
hands clean and their little tummies' well
+, fed"
