.JOsephine's Alarm

Once Napoleon asked her to tell ninp his defects and she replied: ''I knew only two: Weakness and indiseretion You permit yourself to be influenced by persons who are only seeking your downfall. and you are so fond of argu- ing that you let your secret thoughts escape He fondly took her in his arms us lie admitted the correctness of her diagnosis-and put aside her womanly intuiIion She warned him again and again. as she told Thlbaudea thnt two things ruin men-wealSness and ambition But she complained he would not discuss politics with her, Did a man ever discuss his plunges with his wife?
 Seating herself on his knee and run ming her hand through his hair. she said to him: "I entreat you. Bonaparte. do not make yourself I<ing," But the husband gently and smillngy dismissed her like q child. Come now! You interrupt mo leave me alonei" Bourrienne reports the interview and also Josephines later appeal to him. when he told her that he feared Napoleon could not be dissuaded from placing q crown on her head My God! Bourrienne,' she replied, such an ambition is farthest from my wish. Try to prevent his making himself King The secretary confessed that he had al- ready exhausted his influence to thwart Napoleon's purposes and had reminded him that being chldless he would have no one to whom to bequeath the throne
 My kind friend" Josephine eagerly inquired. when you spoke of children did he say anything to you? Did he talk of a divorce? Bourrienne lowers the curtain on this scene with Josephine crying; Good God. How uphappy am!'

Malmaisnn TndaY

The Tuileries and Malmaison were the centers round which the new life of the reborn nation revolved. The former no longer rises by the Seine, having been long ago leveled in q frenzy of reaction. But France today chershes as a patriotic shrine the home of Napoleon and Josephine at Malmaison in the pristine glory of the consulate, when they still typiiied the majesty of the republic.
 That modest, suburban three-story stone villa at Reuil in the valley of the Seine between St Cloud and St. Ger man en Lave and only eight or nine miles from the center of Paris looks more like the country house of a merchant than the seat of great ruler Josephine selected it while her husband was in Egypt and the pur chase price was only $32,000.
 But she bought adjoining lands aud laid out a park that was fit for a fairy princess Only a little of this re- mains, however, the estate having lately been cut up into villa gardens. One of the new streets that crosses what was formerly the park bears the name of the Rue Tuck, in recognition of an American from New Hampshire who was influential in the development of the neighborhood

The Helpmate

Still Josephine was worth all she cost Napoleon. Great stage director as he was, his court never would have been much more than camp except for the assistance of his wife. He said in Italy: 'I win battles while Joseph inc wins hearts"
 He bound together the French fac tions in law and justice and glory; but socially the old France and the new were united by the tact and charm of Josephine. It was in her drawing room, long before they would cross hIs threshold, that the returning aristo- crts first consented to mingle with the men and women of the revolu- ton She filled with flowers the bloody chasm that had long divided them. and drew them together with her smile. She cared nothing for their tragic quarrel and was herself too amiable for quarreling. She has no more resentment than pigeon" Napoleon said.
 As the women of the nobility began to gather about her. she did not for get her friends in she dark days and wept when her husband drew the line on Nine Tallien, her companion in prison Napoleon assured her he liked her loyalty and was sorry to ban old friends, but new court had to be very careful of it's moral tone.

Josephine as a Shopper

He had the weak desire of one who had suffered from poverty and priva- tion to see himself surrounded with q display of luxury and splendor. But Josephine's almost childish extrava- gance often made him vince. The mis- tress of Malmaison had far more taste than thrift, and she pursued her love of pretty sthingsS there and in Paris with a light-hearted disregard of the cost
 The ,tradesmen were quick to dis cover her weakness and prey upon 1t. Napoleon had forbidden them admis- sion to her, but laden with their tempt ing wares they penetrated and crowded her apartments. When at last their clamors for payments came to his ears he ordered Bourrienne to investigate the matter. Josephine confessed to the secretary that she owed $240,o00, but begged him to conceal half of the stag gering total from her husband for the present, in order to spare her his vio- lence.
 The pile of bills astounded Bour- rienne 3S new hats, heron plumes to the value of s360. and perfumes to the value of s160 in one month. The sec retary called in the creditors and in- sisted on cutting their extortionate charges in half One man who had made out a bill for $16,000 received only $7000, but was still able to con graduate nlnSelI on HdVliS lfldut ~ liberal profit
 That was not Bourriennes only un- pleasant experience of the same kind. When Napoleon bestowed on his sister as wedding gift necklace belonging to Josephine, she longed to replace the ornament with some pearls she had seen which once belonged to Marie Antoinette The price was s50,000 cash, and not daring to propose such an extravagance to Napoleon, she was aided to make the purchase by Gen eral Berthier, who proceeded to exor. the needed amount from big army contractor.
 After getting the coveted pearls, Jo- sephine could not summon the courage to wear them and let them be seen by her husband. who Bourrlenne tells us was somewhat of a busybody. FL nally unab ble longer to resist and con- ceal the beautiful necklace she m- plored the secretary to stay near her and back her up in the inevitable scene
 How fine you are today" Napoleon said and then. just as she had ex- pected and feared, he added. "what Is

An Evening at Malmaison

An evening at Malmaison was tho prologue of the empire, tableau rep resenting the day before the opening of the imperial drama, when the flower of republican youth bloomed into Kings and Queens, princes and prin- cesses, dukes and duehesses. If we leave the park and re-enter the cha teau, we may reconstitute the scene in fancy
 Mime. Grassini, the celebrated Italian prima donna, is singing under the too fond eyes of the first consul, whereat Josephine is hiding her jealousy with downcast eyes as she langourously re- poses in her robe of white crepe "Bonaparte always likes osee mo in white"--with little feathers sewn all over it and a pearl at the end of eacn feather a gilt net confning her hair. Meanwhile, Desiree Clary looks on with malicious satisfaction, for although she is now Mme. Bernadotte, she canno- forget that she herself might have been Mme Bonaparte had not this "el- derly coquette' stolen him away from her. Her sweetest triumph had come when she brought Oscar, her first born, to Napoleon, himself longing in vain for an heir, and asked him to stand godfather.

The Imperial Front

His shoulders were broad and his trunk was long for his legs, which, however, were well shaped. He was vain of his small feet--f have seen many of his shoes and slippers anG 1hey look like woman's-of his deli cate hand with its tapering fingers. and of his teeth, albeit they were hardly worthy of his pride.
 His bust was handsome one, ln spite of being mounted on an made quate pedestal well designed for the gallery of immortals. The profile was modelled to adorn an imperial coinage. while the great head. 22 inches in cir conference, which had alarmed his family in his infancy. the high broad forehead, the luminous gray, eagle eyes, the straight, sensitive nose, the smooth, ivory skin, were the delight or artists many of whom, however, chose to give him dark hair, rather than his own fine, though thin, chestnut locks We some lack of strength in the under lip, it was drawn in his early portraits, but when he rose to mastery the painters and sculptors corrected their predecessors in this detail, or perhaps improved on nature herself
 The expression of his face was so active that it was like a moving pie ture film of his mind. He could still smile when he became consul as softly as sweetly as girl, but he could no longer laugh.
 If angered, a sort of cyclone sudden ly tore across his countenapce and oonvulsed every feature; tempest swept the brow; tEe eyes blazed; the nostrils swelled; the mouth contracted; tie hand seized the offender or smash ed the gilded furniture of palace chamber But the storm passed as quickly as it came, and left him as calm as a summer harbor after a downpour of rain. Notwithstanding these facial hurricanes, he insisted thas his passions never rose above his neck and his physicians corroborate him with the report that his blood was not given to rushing to his head

Memories of Josephine

Malmaison is treasured now among the priceless national monuments of France. Pilgrims from all over the world pour in streams through the shady gateway of the chateau and into its halls and chambers, signing over Josephine's harp with its broken strings and looking with curious eyes at Josephine's bed, whereon she died, her ornate washstand, her gorgeous dinner service and costly ornaments, mostly the gifts Of sovereigns and governments, her work table and em- broidery frame.
 The cedar she planted still casts ts shade out on the lawn, where the tents used to be pitched as in an army camp. and where in his shirtsleeves Napoleon played prisoners base" with hilarious young men and screaming young wom- en. The shepherds hut and thes Swiss dairy have vanished from the park; the marble gods and nymphs that Joseph inc set up are messy with age; her cascade and lake. on which she law ished fortune. are gone dry, but the bridge still spans the now arid bed of the brook.
 Her theatre no longer stands among the trees, where the consular court were wont to gather and be enter tained by the famous players of Paris. There too, some of the great actors in the drama of the Napoleonic era used to play at amateur theatricais, with Josephine as the presiding genius, ana when Napoleon prankishly hissed she announced that any person dissat- his money refunded at the door.
 The prettiest memorials of Josephine in her fanciful Eden are the flowers and shrubs she imported from her na- tive Martinique, a few of which go on blooming as when she watched over AL f-t~ Il. I watered them with her own hands. She drew on that West Indian island for many kinds of seeds and plants, but begged in vain for her mother to come to her. She sent her the handsome chaplet which the pope gave her, and Hortense drew for her grandmother d portrait of Napoleon walking in the however, chose to live on in the kitchen of the ruined house at Trois 1slets alone with a negro servant.
 Josephine called the garden at Malmai- sen her family, and 1ser favorite salon was in a big greenkbuese,. where she held court in the midst of fragrance and beauty. Botany perhaps, was her one certain accomplishment. She could neith- CT sing nor play any instrument, for the harp with the broken strings which the pilgrims to Malmaison see now, only serves to recall the prosaic fact that it's mistress repertory was limited to a single air. She dabbled bit with tap cstry. and she and her friends made the coverings for some of the furniture in the house.
 But she was most at home with her flowers. One of her pleasures was to array her litlesome self in simple India muslin and lead her husband along the winding, bloom-embroidered paths. for he always vowed that the prettiest sight for mortal eyes was a tall, slender wom- an in white strolling leafy lane Slie liked to bewider his botanical ig- norance with her knowledge of the names and habits of all the things in her lit- tle floral world. and we are told that sine wept in her great Paris palace when he kept her away from Malmaison In
