which elected Paul Deschanel to the presi dency.
Nine Deschane takes q keen delight in racing
only for the sport itself. She will hence1orth'
however, be unable to attend the races save IN
her official capacity and in state Then, too. there
will he no more visiting the petits theatres, by FAR
the most amusing form Of dramatic entertainment
in Paris and she will be restricted to an OCCASION
al apDearance in the state oge of the Opera or of
the Coincide Franchise.
She cannot but feel the attacks made upon her
husband by the daily and comic press, fortunate,
indeed if She escapes attentions of this kind aimed
at herself. such as for instance, poor Nine. Felix
Faure, whose husband was called upon by his as
Saants in print to resign the presidency because
of the discovery made that years and years before
her father family lawyer of some note, had en-
bezzled the trust funds confidcd to his care.
Moreover as Nine Deschane has large fam
ily of Young children she may be exposed to the
same cowardly anonymous threats of the kiGnap

Casmir-Perier almost to distraction While at the
EySee,
There is something almost pathetic in contrast
ing the arrival of the first ladies at the Elysee with
their departure Each of them has entered the
portals of the palace with pride and pleasure de-
picted on her features, and making attempt to
conceal the truly feminine delight felt in occupy

Nine. MacAlahon, DuchesSe de Magneta left the
ElySee with the knowledge that half of the private
fortune of the marshal had been expended in en-
deavoring to maintain the dignity Of the presi-
dency and that far from any one approaching
this generosity the gallant old soldier had lost
as president good deal of the fame and popu-
larity which he had won on the battlefield.
Poor old Nine. Grevy a woman of humble ex-
traction departed from the Eysee overwhelmed
by the hurricane of obloquy and disgrace that the
questionable doings of her son-in-aw, Daniel Will
SON. had brought down upon the head Of her hus-
band. forcing him To resign.
Nine. Sadi CarnOt quit the Elysee widow. her
husband struck down by the hand of an assassin
while driving through the streets of Lyons. AS

and gracious Nine. Deschanel there will be OF a
different character and that she may live to leave
