My dear fellow, marry no one but a German. They are the best wives in the world. gentle. good, artless and fresh as roses.
 In the Gallery of Apollo at St. Cloud. where Napoleon first seized the reins of power and where he was first acclaimed Emperor, his union with the daughter of the Hapsburgs was confirmed by a civil marriage after which a grand entry into Paris was made for the purpose of another religious marriage, but this time the Empress entered the city under the unfinished Arc de Triomphe de IEtoile, to which 5000 wortmen had hastily given the appearance of completion by the use of wood and canvas

The Transfer

When the new Empress of the French arrived at the Riven inn, the frontier of the Kingdom of Bavaria and of the Ma poleonic empire, her dowry of sl0000J was counted out and del vered to the French and she herself was formally checked eff and transferred like any other consignment.
 A wood n pavilion had been erected on the boundary and after entering it from the Austrian side, Marie Louise passed on to a second or neutral cnam- Der in the pavilion. Beyond that room was the third or French compartment, where company of courtlers from Paris waited to receive the.r sovereign In their eagerness to see her. they had bored the two rooms. and the prefect of the Tuiieries, he who had heiped three months before to carry the tainted Josephine to her apartments. records his peep at her in his memoirs. Soon the Austrians knocked at the door for the French to come in. They entered to find the Elm press seated on q throne, and her eyes were filled with tears as she looked on her subjects for the first time.
 Marie Louise accompanied her new GUS todians to merchants house in Brau- nau, where, following the requirements of custom, she divested herself of every garment and sdornment from her own country, as a symbol of her purpose to leave behind her all that was Austrian. One feature Of Marie Antoinette's exam pie, however. was happily modified in this instance. and her grandniece was spared the annoyance of changing her clothes before her courtly retinue.

Wed by Proxy

After the usual ceremony of the de- mand for the hand by Prince Berthier, the marriage by proxy was celebrated on Sunday, as it was in Lent. AL though the second son of the penni- less attorney of Ajaccio was to marry the daughter of the Caesars, it did not ccmport with his sovereign dignity to go to her altar. and he chose for his proxy at the wedding the uncle of the bride, the Archduge Charles, his van quished foeman nine months before on the field of Wagram!
 Two old, drab churches stand neigh bors on little side stre cts of Vienna off the ring and near the burg, the city palace of the Hapsburgs. In one Marie Louise was married in the other she was buried. They are the beginning and the end of her strange story. When she stood at the altar of the Augustin church to receive from her Uncle Charles the ring of the Emperor of the French, not year had yet passed since she and the imperial family had kne1t at that altar in anxious prayer for the victory of Charles over Napo- lecn.
 The new Empress of the French left the capital of her father for the capital of her husband early Tuesday morning in flood of tears, but perhaps no more copious than is usual with departing brides. A long and arduous Journey of two weeks over thawing roads stretched before the young, untraveled girl. her daily drive often beginning as early as five In the morning and lasting until darkness compelled a halt for the night. But singing maidens, pranc- ing troops and ringing bells enlivened her progress through every town.
