study, backed up. by Eugenie's determ- ination to have the most perfect plant possible, the mansion at Farnborough Is radiantly illuminated with electricity generated on the grounds.
 Efforts have been made to prove that Eugenia, who was one of the two daughters of a Spanish grandee, had an American for grandfather. Actu- ally a naturaliZed American, but that is a detail! Her father was Don Ci- priano Palafox. Marquis de Montijo. and her mother Maria Kirkpatrick, the daughter of a wine merchant thus named who had settled in Malaga. This latter was the American, or rather
 Irish American mentioned According
 to the story, he was small grocer in
 Belfast, but emigrated to the United States, took out citizenship papers
 went into business in New York and
 proceeded to make a fortune. Then he
 went into politics and was rewarded
 with the. United States consulship at
 Malaga There he met Belgian grocer
 of wealth named Grevingy. The eldest
 daughter of Grevingy became Mrs.
 Kirkpatrick and grandmother Of the
 future empress. Mrs. Kirkpatrick's sis
 ter married De Lesseps, father of the famous builder of the Suez canal, and the men whose disastrous failure in
 Panama has been restrieved by Amer ican genius.
 The advent of his second daughter was
 a bitter disappointment to the Marquis de Montijo, who had wished ardently for
 son. Not long before the birth of Flu
 genie his eldest brother had died leav- ing him his title. with goodly sum of money and as the first olive branch which had come to bless his union was a girl Pacca the future Duchess of All ba, he was anxious that the next child should be a male heir. So in spite of her large Irish blue eyes. he could not
 at first bear the sight of the little Eu- genie. When however, he saw his two girls grow lovely and attractive, he made up his mind to love them just the same. Only to try and conjure up certain
 amount of illusion, as soon as they
 reached the ages of and ', he decided to make them bold little tomboys. much to the disgust of their mother. He had his way, however, and thus it was. that. in later years, Eugene appeared at bull fights in Madrid dressed in brilliant An
 dalusian costumes, with whip in her hand, dagger in her belt and cigarette in her mouth It was for this reason, too, that, a few years later, when she went with her mother to the City of Light whose queen of beauty she wah to become. the girls mannish stride had to be corrected by means of tape which
 was stretched from one of her garters
 to the other.

of certain children's hospital in London received a check from her almost by re- turn of post Her will, when it comes to be read, probably will be found to con- tain something like a record number of bequests, including ones to the imperial ladys godchildren, of whom she possesses more than probably any other person liv- ing. When her only child, the Prince Imperial, was born, Napoleon III an- nounced that he and his wife would stand sponsors to all children born in France on the same day The children who thus claimed imperial godparents totaled more than $500. The Empress still keeps a complete list of her charges, and has set aside legacy for each one now living
 Around the personality of the widow of Napoleon I'll there has been woven. dur ing her residence at Farnborough, a. legend that is wholly, or almost wholly false. She has been pictured again and again as tragic figure of the past, mutey resigned to the present, as shadow nov ing among tombs. This is the popular conception of her, a one-time monarch in sad and solitary exile, bowed by a triple tragedy, the loss of husband, son and throne-a perpetual mourner. Nothing. however, could be more misleading. There is nothing morbid about the imperial sur vivor of the throne of France. True she has built crypt for her dead, and goes there regularly to pay her sad devotions. But, these pilgrimages from the palace to the adjoining tomb well as her walks in the great gardens, reveal the normal wish of lofty spirit to be alone at times. It is the fashion to picture her, too, as garbed in antique and even harle- Quin woe-she whose wardrobe was once valued at a million dollars. The truth is that, though robbed in black her clothes are in the latest fashion, and made of the finest serge or other rich material There is a touch of white at the neck. The black hat which crowns this cos- tune would not be unsuited to a woms n of 35 years and becomes it's wearer won derfully well. However cold the weather may be- she seldom wears furs.
 Eugenie. in fact. still loves her life. In her home there is little to suggest the unhappy past. She is surrounded by a brilliant retinue composed of the nobility of France, and by an efficient household She keeps closely in touch with current literature, as well as with world happenings. and in every way is up to date, thing which cannot be said of many who write about her! For example, when Cody. the ill-fated aviator was flying at nearby Alder shot. the empress motored there and witnessed one of his flights and after ward sent for him and congratulated him on his achievements, and talked to him with animation about the flu ture possibilities of flight.

hungry, however, the Empress decided that their publication might strengthen the old charge that her own social and political ambitions were the cause di- rectiy and indirectly of the Franco Ger man war, which plunged France into misery, debt and humiliation, and cost her Alsace-Lorraine. and likewise her majesty's husband his throne. There were details, too. which did not show Napoleon III in the best light. and so at last his widow set her imperial foot (which is said to be one of the smallest ever contained in royal shoe), down on tho idea of publishing any of her memoirs or letters.
