1t was not long, runs the story, after Traver-
nier sold it to Louis XIV for $500 900 francs and
a barony, that Travernier torn to pieces by
wild dogs while he a hunting expedition.
Nine. de Montespan's fall is part of history.
She was supplanted soon by Nine. de Maintenon.
At this time the diamond weighed 671a karats.
The story says that In the rough it was of 112
ksrats and that the king sent it to Amsterdam
jeweler to be cut and polished.
Along with other court Jewels the diamond de-
scended upon the death of Louis KY to Louis XIV.
Tradition permits several of his favorites to have

posed to have ended in tragedy failure or worse.
Louis XVI game into possession of the stone In
course of time, and through him ii went to Marie
Antoinette who wore it, extending the same privi-
lege to her friend, Princess de Lamballe. Genuine
history records that Marie Antoinettr died the
guiotne, and that the princess was torn to pieces
by French mob and her head carried about upon
a pike.
The stone was lost sight of about 1892. Then,
after a span of 50 years the stone reappeared in
1880. In the meantime she story writers again
reduced its size to A karats. Wherever the gem
was in those years of mystery stories are numer-
GUS today that it still performing its mission
of blighting lives and fortunes.
One of these accounts attributes to Daniel
Eliason, jeweler of London who got the stone in
$780, story that after it supposedly stolen
from the royal treasures of France by a Paris
mob the gem was sold to an Amsterdam jeweler,
William Falls, who recut the stone to its present

of William Falls stole the jewel from his parent,
who died a ruined man. Then this record dis

HEAVY DEMAND ON
CITY CHARITIES

Just as the greatest amount OF Christ
mas shopping ever experienced by local
stores shows the Unprecedented pros
perity in Wilmington, so does the large
demand upon local charitable institu-
tions show that there is a great deal OF
poverty and suffering In the city. In
most Of these cases, illness or deser-
ton has suddenly caused distress. For
another thing. many people seeing pros
perity existing. have not given as free
ly as in other years.
The Volunteers Of America find con-
ditions about the same as last year
neither better nor worse. The AssO-
ciated Charities have many families on

that conditions are abOut the same as
