Louis XIV, the best advertised king that France ever had put great faith in the light that lies in woman's eyes. He knew the difference between q lady apd diplomat, and when a diplomat failed him, he called in the voteless sex to solve the problem.
 Louis, not knowing when to let up, was bent upon annexting the greater part of Europe for a summer resort. England got huffy when the Grand Monarque sought to take The Neither lands for a tennis court, and Louis saw that King Charles II must be attended to. Charles was too vain to listen to he-diplomats. so Louise sent him vamp.

 When the Duchess of Orleans died, Charles made the Queen take Louise under her arm as maid- of-honor. Soon she was in position to tell King Louis more about England and the affair with the Dutch than Charles knew himself.
 But Louise was an expensive little toy.

ng Louise His Date Bo

Her charges fo- maintenance and depre- citation kept the national debt of Eng land soaring When Louis offered his pccketbook, and grumblingly announced that he could buy most of England with all the money she was costing him. King Charles also whipped out a roll of bills, and told the poor Dutch ministers to go hang themselves. He was too busy at home to be bothered about en- tangling alliances across the Channel.
 Enjoying the absolute confidence of the King, Louise took command of his af- fairs, checked up his date book and handled his bank roll. She was created the Baroness of Petersfield Countess of Farnham and Duchess of Portsmouth. She ran around with so many titles that her calling card looked like a billboard.

 She cost Charles so much money that his ministers were kept awake nights trying to figure out new methods oe taxation. Her apartments in the palace were far finer than those of the Queen, with whom, strange to say, she got-a'sng very amiably. Louise laughed her way through all the mean talk that was cir culated about her. And when they ac- cused her of being up to her ears in the

 Although she really seemed to like Charles, Louise vamped other gentle men in her spare time. Lord Danby, rich and noble, and the victorious sol
