doubtful If even the Empress Eugene
ever exercised so much direct control
over the destinies of France as this
woman did over the fate of modern
Greece.
Friend of Lord Byron.
She was a daughter of Spyridon
Tricoupis, the first premier of free
Greece, and the sister of Harilaos Tri-

the nineteenth century completely

where her father was Greek minister,
but on the entry of her brother into

of Denmark, were only a few of those
who were the guests of this remark

But her relations with the dis
tinguished visitors to Greece were
wholly political. She had no social
ambitions and the ordinary balls and
social gatherings of Athens never saw
her. She was not only the inspiration
but the active ,co-worker of her
broth.p, and knew quite as much
about politics as did he and it was

was called that those who had some
