of Royal Line.

Napoleon, greatest OF modern con.

made his brothers and two of'his mar
shals kings. When his empire fell,
these subordinate sovereigns we're
shaken from their thrones-all except
one. The throne of Sweden, and that
alone, is still occupied by the dynasty
founded in Napoleon's day and by his
aid. Strangely enough-romantically,
if you wiIl-this is the royal line

Napoleon marshal, Bernadotte; and
whose first queen, Desiree, was Ma
poleons earliest sweetheart. She was
indeed his betrothed, from whom he
sought and obtained his release only
when he had fallen under the spell of
the fascinating widow, Josephine de
Reauharnais, with whose sophisticated
charms young Desiree Clary, not yet
fifteen. could not compete.
A recent French writer, Jean Marte-
lot, in a little study of Queen Desiree,
has related the story of her three not
able suitors and her marriage. Her
father and brother were prosperous
silk merchants of Marseilles. There
we're four daughters, two married;
