with other favorites. and Jeanne's ef-
forts were at nrst futile. Before long.
however, he met her at ball In Paris
This was when she was twenty-four.
The king was fascinated, and Jeanne.
having accomplished her ambition. gave
up her husband and went to Versailles TO
live on the kings bounty.
In token OF the high esteem In which
he held his new fRvcrtte Louis XIV
bought the estate OF Pompadour for her.
and with q gave her the title Of Mar
quise de Pompadour. No sooner had this
remarkable woman established herself In
the kings powers than she showed that
her ambition and her intelligence were
quite as great as her beauty. She gath
cred round her the men Of letters OF the
day, among them voltaire. and artists
and men OF science. Boucher and Greuze
were her especial proteges.
Probably no kings mistress ever had
greater political powers than did POM
padour. Because Frederick the Great Of
Tended her In some sighting verses. she
caused the king to break with Prussia,
and because Maria Theresa wrote her a
natterinE letter she made an alliance
with Austria. This policy brought on
the seven years war and the loss OF
Canada
The king daily met his ministers in the
marquIse's room, and she personally in
spected all his mail. Never was king

and, apparently. the beautiful Pompa-
dour had no love for the king. Her
motives were purely those Of ambition.
Even when the Pompadour saw that the
king was growing weary Of her fascina-
tions she was equal to the situation.
She openly encouraged other fayorites,
always Of inferior intellect. however.
and through her tact actually enlisted
the sympathy Of the queen. But this
life was one Of continual struggle MY
life Is q combat" she herself said, and
at the age Of forty-three she died, worn
out and exhausted.

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY and YOURS
By MARY MARSHALL.
December 27-Madame de Pompa-
dour.

So great was the beauty and wit OF
Jeanne Antoinette Poisson when she was
child that she was declared to be
'un morceau de roi," a morsel for the
king, and with this ambition she was
educated. This dream was confirmed
by the prophesy Of an old woman. who
predicted that Jeanne would some day
be a kings favorite, and, so far from
being insulted by the prediction, Jeanne
was full of gratitude, and later in the
days Of her power she psnsioned the old
woman. When she was twenty years
old, in I7fl, she was married to a wealthy
young man, and through his mcrey she
soon became the queen OF Partisan
fashions
Jeanne set about very adroitly to catch
the eye of Louis XIV. who was then king.
She had no way OF being presented at
