lation at court was she refused to
speak to her. and this attitude on the
part of the dauphin's wife was the
thorn in the flesh of Du Barry's reign
at Versailles.
Du Barry lasted for six years and
then when the king. then 81, caught
SMALLPOX and was on the point of
death he dismissed her. His days of
frivolitv were at an end, and, facing
DEATH he turned his thoughts at last
to his soul. A few days later after
the death of the king she received
a "lettre de cachet,' ordering her to
enter a convent Instead of that she
lived in retirement in a chateau the
king had given her.
Before long came the French revo-
luton. in which Marie Antoinette and
her husband were forced out of YER
sailles. and then Du Barry, with the
good heartedness that was so strong
in her makeup, forgave the sights or
Marie Antoinette and offered to give
her home to the king and queen. But
Marie Antoinette could not have ac-
cepted 1t IL she would, for she was
hurried to the guillotine. A few years
later in its frenzy the Paris mob that
wanted to annihilate everything that
had to do with the ancient regime
fell upon Du Barry, too.
And so these two great ladies Of
the eighteenth century. the last queen
and the last favorite of the old Bour-
bon dynasty came to the same fate.
One was the daughter of an Austrian
empress and an emperor of the holy
Roman empire. and the other the
nameless daughter of poor French
seamstress.
