A QUEEN OF TRAGEDY, ON AND
OFF THE STAGE.

TT CANNOT be doubted that Adrienne
l. Lecouvreur was a vampire. But ii
may be believed that the hearts which
she broke were mended, whereas her
own was shattered past repair. AT
thirteen Adrienne appeared In neigh
borhood company of children, speak
ing the lines of the great Corneilie
with a dramatic power which gained
her some celebrity. And she was
scarcely fifteen when the opportunity
came to join company of provincial
players.
She was twenty-five when Paris hrst
saw her. She had spent ten bitter
years in small companies. She also
had at least four serious love Affairs
with more or less prominent men anu,
in her own words, she was done with
love. II know that one doesn't die OF
grief" she wrote, and the line has
lived.
1t was in 1T17 when Paris glimpsed
this delicate beauty, and Immediately
she was the queen of her time. And
not let her alone. For time she patron
lied half the great men of Paris, then
cast them aside. But the vampire was
not 70 go uncaught In 1921. after four
years of success enough TO have turned
any head. she met Maurice de SAKE.
held by many to be the greatest sol
der and adventurer of his time.
Immediately Adrienne loved him
and three bisSful years followed. Then
the duchy of Courand was offered for
sale, with the rights Of IL reignng duke.
This was the chance of De Sake. Adri-
enne knew that if he succeeded she
would lose him. But she pawned her
jewels to help obtain the money. Ii
appears that several other women also
helped. But with this war chest
raised by women De Sake was not
successful. Tile money escaped him.
He came back to Paris, broke. Adj
renne took him in. and was happy.
Then the duchesse de Bouillon,
very rich and very disreputable
great lady, east her fancy upon DE
SAKE. Adrienne protested vehemently.
There were scenes, heart-wrenching
grief. News of the impending break
spread to the boulevards and the
duchesse was mentioned in anything
but complimentary terms. for Aarienne
was the darling of Paris. Then she
took suddenly ill., Poison" whispered
Paris, and looked at the duchesse,
but there was no proof. Adrienne
died a broken-hearted vampire.

THE WOMAN WHO KILLED !
GENIUS.


a Ny one in the least familiar with

France. must have been stirred by the
white heat of his imagination. Just
conceive such IA man ut the age or
thirty-three, on the tide of his first sue

sive signed The Stranger" mailed
from Odessa. A woman had written II.
In this letter the unknown invited
Balzac to answer her through Il news

SO, and soon another letter came. The
writer was Evelina Hnnska, the young
wife of Il man twenty-five years older,
and mistress of IL great fortresS-like
castle in the Ukraine, Russia. The
burning words of Balzac drew her TO
Neufchatel. Picture 70 yourself how
both must have felt before and after
they met. She was tall, elegant, high
born. He was fat, short and not hand
some. He says himself that she drew
back astounded when she saw him.
Bur ii was not long until the woman
saw In the mans remarkable eyes the
genius which was his. They loved and
parted, she returning to her lonely
castle and he to endless work.
Certainly the love of Balzac must
have been tribute which pleased the

There was her husband whom she
would not leave BalZac assented and
saw her at infrequent intervals over
Il period of years. But though she
would not leave her hoary husband
she would not let 90 of Balzac. Her
letters teased. cajoled. and led him on,
followed by her reproacheS, tears, jeal-

For seventeen years BalZac's devO-

was the great sorrow of his life Then
the husband died. She wrote TO him
and he went off To that bleak Russia
where she lived. Again there were
delays. She would promise nothing.
He came back to Paris and after more
letters again started for Russia. II
was in March, 1850, that lie arrived,
his heart almost CONCEALED by the cold.
And ut last his evil genius consented
to bestow upon him the happiness he

But BalZac was near the end. In
Dresden he fell seriously i'll. She went
out shopping and returned with won

But BalZac rallied and they went on

"THE CURSE OF ENGLAND"-A
WOMAN.

N/HEN young Charles II of Eng
w land was IL refugee in Holland.
after his father had been executed. Il
stanch loyalist by the name of Roger
Palmer came 10 him with Il large sum
of money and plans 10 gain the throl'e
for Charles. Palmer had nineteen
year-old wife, Barbara. At sixteen
she had an intrigue with famous
rake and now threw herself directly In
the patli of Charles.
On May 20, 1860, the king returned
i'm triumph TO London by the efforts of
Palmer and other loyalists. He found
Barbara awaiting him and hurried
through the days ceremonies that he
might Join her. Palmer was so strong
loyalist that he surrendered his wife
to Charles, and in reward was made
duke of Cleveland.
Barbara developed an Unsuitable
passion for wealth and gambling. She
was not even true to the king; but he,
lazy cynic, looked on good-naturedly.
Her control over him and wild extrav-
agance gained her the lurid title THE
Curse of England" 1t was she who
founded the fortune of the ducal house
OF Marlborough, giving the first duke,
then poor nobody, his start in life.
She bought him q place in the army
where he afterward rose to be that
famous duke Of Marlborough who won
for England such notable victories
Historians of the day say that Bar
bara often lost as much as 100000 In
a single evenings play, a fabulous sum
i for that time.
] Barbara was one of the most beauti-
full women of her time, with regal car
rage and seemingly perpetual youth.
She ruled the INDECENT Charles at will,
debating policies of state, making or
running fortunes as her fancy chose.
She made powerful enemies, but as
long as her control endured over
Charles she cared little for the opinion
of others. It became dangerous for
her TO go about the streets or London,
so great was the hatred against her,
and she adopted royal style, travel.

But the tickle Charles at last tired
of her and she saw his attention turned
TO other women. One by one she out
witted them until France sent over
Louise de la Querouaille, pretty little
vampire, with instructions to sway
Charles in negotiations between the
two kingdoms. And Barbara lost hes
tilt with Louise.

THE WOMAN WHO RULED
ATHENS.

THAT courtesan should have
ruled Athens, perhaps the great
est seat of culture the world ever
knew, seems strange TO us now. But
Aspasia was woman of parts, who
taught eloquence to such men as Soc
rates and Pericles. Her home was
a meeting place for the most brilliant
figures in the ancient world. The time
which we consider was the Fifth CEN
fury before Christ, bur our learning
has advanced very little beyond the
point reached by that group which
gathered around Aspasia.
She had many loves, and between
times discoursed upon art and philoso-
ply. Her beauty and her learning were
equally celebrated. Socrates, an ex-
tremely ugly man, forgot his philoso-
ply in love of this remarkable wOm-
an. But she soon put him aside for
Pericles, the gifted, handsome figure
then arising to ascendency. Pericles
studied elOquence at her feet and
learned 70 love her, too He divorced
his wife and went to live with Aspasia.
but could not marry her because of II
law which forbade noble Athenian TO
wed barbarian" Aspasia came
from Iona. and the people of any other
nation were "barbarians" to the
Athenans." 1t must be remembered
that the creed of the cynics, TO which
Diogenes adhered, held hings lightly
and scoffed at the passions OF ordinary
mankin6.
Aspasia's brilliant mind, joined to
that of the noble Pericles, soon brought
him 10 foremost position In the
state. He was the greatest ruler Ath-
ems ever had, and tile guiding hand be
hind his own WIS that of the courtesan
Then enemies accused her of heresy
charging that she did not believe In
the gods, which we of course know 10
have been merely beautiful fancies
Pericles plead before the senate, with
,tearful eyes. and saved her life. But
so great man as Socrates could not
be saved and was put to death on the
same charge. Evil days had fallen up
on Aspasia's group. Men whose names
we now reverence were looked upon as
we would today regard anarchists
They were called dangerous, unbeliev
ers in religion, and many worse things
Herodotus, the historian, and Others
in that group had taken to retirement
