Although his mother, Hortense. had then still an- other baby boy to console her. she was inconsolable, and in the blindness of the grief to which she abandoned herself. she refused for time to sec this sec ond child.
 The blow was hardly legs heavy for Josephine, who not only sorrowed for her daughter as a fond mother but also sorrowed alone, fearful as she was that her chance was gone of seeing the im- perlal dynasty transmitted in her blood, since the Emperor would not be so like ly to favor HOrtense's remaining son, and that at any rate the old problem of the succession would now be re- opened. Napoleon tried from the field to comfort the stricken mother and grandmother. Among the many mes sages of sympathy and courage which he dispatched from the front were these

 Napoleon was inclined to think that natures rich dowry was enough for this sister. and besides he found difficulty in crowning a grass widow, for Pauline simply would not tolerate the company of her husband, the Roman Prince Bor- ghese. He gave her. therefore, only an Italian principality, with six square miles of territory and 5000 inhabitants, mostly beggars. But that sufficed to make her the Duchess of Guastalla, whereupon she cheerfully sold the principality back to the Emperor for Ss5.000 a year.
 Yet that was hardlly more than pin money for the Duchess of Guastalla. whose dress bills amounted in single year to $26,000 and jewelry to s50,OO0. The total allowance necessary for her yearly upkeep was finally fixed at $260,O0O.
 Napoleon tried to transfer this splen- did person from his pay roll to the tax payers of Piedmont by appointing her and Borghese to preside over the Italian department and represent him at Turin. But Pauline could not be kept away from her Paris palace, now the sumptuous Brit ish embassy in the Champs Elysees and Versailles, for Parisian courtiers and Pa risian luxuries were Indispensable to her happiness.

 The higher her children climbed the more she felt mothers anxiety for the perils that encompassed them. Although they were equals in her heart she shrewd ly measured their varying Limitations and objected to Napoleons storming at them for failing to reach his own standard. With good sense. she bade him compare his brothers not with himself but with other Kings, for they are all stupid.''
