one of the beauties of her day until an

is related that every morning she
washed her face in well water, and en-
joyed frequent baths. practice not
very common in the Fifteenth century.
Henry was only eighteen when he
first met Diane. He was the second
son of Francis /, and gossips would
have us believe that she had already
been loved by the father. However
that may have been, she was widow
and wonderfully beautiful woman.
She easily enslaved Henry, who soon
became the dauphin through the death
of his brother, and then the king.
DANES power was unlimited, and, al
though she would appear to have liked
Henry well enough, she turned her
hand to enrichment Of herself and rel

heavy taxes, and grooming populace.
Diane needed the storms of life very
little. She kept Henry's queen, Cath
crime de Medici, in the background,
and ruled things as her fancy dictated.
But the little Catherine, an Italian,
bided her time to be avenged. I'm
doubtedly Diane knew her feelings.
She was woman to her finger tips.
Throughout his life King Henry was

them as she liked, always with an eye

ENGLAND'S MOST DANGEROUS
BEAUTY.

T ADY HAMILTON stands forth
IL from the dry page Of history as
one of its most remarkable characters.
Her mother was an inn servant, her ia
Their a stable hand. She began life as
q nursemaid by the name of Emma,
born in 1777. At sixteen she had be-
come a lady's maid and a beauty who
attracted all eyes. But she lost her
place and turned barmaid instead. Hei
sweetheart was carried off by a navy
press gang. She implored his captain
to spare him, which he did for her
sake. The vampire had begun her
career.
Emma soon deserted the captain fo.'
richer man, but not until she had
studied under private tutors, learning
music, languages, anything her mind
craved, with impressive ease. Her next
conquest, sporting nobleman, was
broke in year. Then the former
maid fell in with doctor, who sold
beauty potions and exhibited her as an
example George Romney. the painter,
saw Emma and called her "the divine
lady" She became celebrated.
After exchanging the quack doctor
for the great painter Emma learned to
sing, developing fine voice. Then she
left Romney for Charles Francis Gre

all upon her and appealed to Sir Will

Then Horatio Nelson, England's ma
val hero, came to Naples at the head
of his fleet. He had lost one eye and
an arm, and was an odd-looking little
man, but Emma fancied him, probably
because of his great name. Nelson left
Naples, won his famous victory at the
Nile. and returned to Lady Hamilton.
Soon both lie and the Hamiltons came

public hated Emma as much as II loved
Nelson, but it could not affront her
without wounding him. So their rela-
tions continued until 1905, when Mel

being n plea for Emma.
But evil days lay ahead of her. She
had lived extravagantly. The famous
beauty and wrecker of hearts, now a
woman of the finest culture and &C.

debtors prison. When released,
through the aid Of friends, she fed to
Calais and died there In 1916. Her
sbroud was an old petticoat.

she assured a priest who lectured her
for misbehavior that all religion was

favor of Richelieu and we have the

mistress. An old woman once read
the girls fortune" and predicted that
she would reach that station-a predic-

from the girl whose palm she had

This girl was Ninon de L'Enclos,
who grew to be the most celebrated
woman of her age. At twenty-three
she had accumulated q small fortune
and throughout the remainder of her
eighty-nine years she helped to shape
the destinies of men and nations. Anne
of Austria, queen of France, and one
of the most powerful figures in Eu'

Ninon.
Saint Evremond, the writer, loved
Ninon all of her life. Voltaire was her
friend and defender. Her lovers in

4 FTER Selling half of France ana
"A leaving the conquered country TO
his lieutenants, Edward III returned to
England toward the close of the Four
teenth century, the most powerful mon
arch which the nation had ever known.
He had been long at the wars and was
determined to let younger shoulders
carry the burden. His mind was bent
upon recreation, the rest and plenty
so hardly won. His eye fell upon Alice
Perrers. She probably was a servant
about the palace, and was neither pref
ty nor talented. But she had fiat
tering tongue and the will which moves
even walls. SO 1t was not long until
her name began to be linked with that
of Edward. Then his wife died, the
good Queen Philippa. Immediately
Alice Perrers came into the full meas
ure of her power.
This woman had one ruling passion
money. Edward was completely I'M
der her domination. She persuaded
him to give her estates in II counties,
many Of them wrung from their right
full owners. She had herself appointed
as guardian" TO wealthy orphans and

were sold through her. She undertook
to dictate even In the law courts. and
actually sat upon the bench with crown
| judges to see that they decided in the
way she sought.
The people groaned and party be-
gan to gather around the Black Prince,
son Of Edward, who had come home
from the wars abroad. In an unwise
moment Alice had parliament sum-
| mOned to vote new taxes. But the
parliament rebelled and Edward, near
his dotage, was forced to give UP Alice,
both agreeing that they would never

more powerful than ever.
At this juncture she hit upon the
| idea of cornering certain imported
luxuries, working through merchant.
The volume of commerce was compar-
atively small at that time. 1t was an
easy matter to carry out her plans.
So Alice became England's first profit
eer and gained new wealth. The king
was feeble and frequently near death,
but Alice tenderly administered to him
and by the very force of her own spirit
kept him alive. In every direction she
levied new eXactions and the people
were afraid to act. Scandal coupled
her name with that Of several men,
but Edward would not believe her un
faithful. How far she might have gone
it would be impossible to say had not
the kings failing health reached O

At last, when Alice saw that hel
time had run its course, she left Ed

Last Saturday night at $3.50 at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. N. Elliott of Keytesville,
Miss Margaret Elliott and Ashton
Edwards were married by the Rev.
o. L. Hunt. The affair was a COM

tives of the contracting parties being

Immediately after the wedding the
happy family left for st. Louis for
their honeymoon.
Miss Elliott is the only daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott. She received

his parents and has been associated
with his parents in farming opera
tions. He is a young man of sterling
character, well liked and popular with
all his acquaintance.
The wedding was complete sur
prise to their many friends and they
are waiting for them to return in or
der to give them the proper kind of
a greeting.
They will reside on the Pinegar
farm west of town with the grooms
