THE WOMAN WHO WAS JEALOUS
OF HERSELF.

9 HE was woman whom no one
~ ever understood, who may have
been the evil genius or the guiding
spirit of Napoleon III, but who admit
tedly was beauty without peer. AS
we study the picture of the Countess
de CaStlgliOne we see woman of am
pie figure, beautifully nodded and a
face which is slightly naughty, yet
soft and WinSOme. She was woman
OF contrasts, paradOXes and perpleXl-
ties.
Born in 1910 of a noble Florentine
family, at an early age she won the
affection of Victor Emmanuel, king of
Piedmont. In the course of things,
CavOur, his great minister, conceived
the idea of sending her to Paris, the
dominant capital of Europe, for the
special purpose of beWitching Napo-
leon III. The countess came, saw and
conquered.
The existence of Italy depended up
on French policy. Napoleon III cher
ishcd an idea of reclaiming that cOun-
try by right of it's having been CON
quered under Napoleon |. And the
king of Piedmont was striving to en-
large his holdings into what now CON
stituteS the kingdom of Italy. 1t was
the business of the countess to keep
Napoleon out of Italy and let Victor
Emmanuel carry on his plans Ma
poleon stayed out. Italy eventually
became what it is today.
She gained complete control of Ma
poleon, scheming, narrow-visioned
man who thought himself great.
Perhaps the countess real love was
herself. Paul Baudry painted an un-
draped picture of her, lying on a
couch. 1t was one of the most beauti-
full canvases which ever came from
his brush. The countess had it hung
in her boudoir And every day she eX-
amined herself in comparison to the
creation of loneliness before her eyes.
She grew to fear that she was not so
beautiful as the picture, that she was
fading, that Baudry had tlattered her
and set an impossible example. Her
suspicious turned to jealousy of the
pcture-lterally, of her very self. And
in a rage she cut the canvas to pieces
with a stietto.
Then came the war Of 1S70-71, the
downfall of Napoleon and the sorrows
of France. She rallied every possible
resource against the Germans, but the
world knows the story. The countess
faded from the scene Of great events.
Perhaps the best commentary of her
career and her time was made by her
self:

THE EMPRESS WHO TURNED
VAMPIRE.

MANY women have won power and
Iva luxury by their beauty. This is
the story of an empress, turned
vampire, who raised Il shepherd boy
to a position near her own and whose
fancy led her to love men of all de-
gree.
Peter the Great of Russia and Cath
crime, his servant girl queen, left a
daughter, Elizabeth. She became EN-
press Of Russia, and before that had
earned reputation for lightly loving
many men.
Alexis RaXOum, born in 1903 son
of a poor shepherd, was a wondrously
handsome boy, with innocent face and
curly hair. He showed talent for
music and took his place in the village
choir, where his clear, sweet voice
became locally famous.
One of the imperial officers, passing
through the village on a Sunday,
CHANGED into the church and heard
Alexis sing. He persuaded the boys
parents to let him take the lad to Mos
COW. where he might get instruction.

"Ah, if l had been queen"
FROM INN SERVANT TO EMPRESS

TARLY in the Eighteenth century
IL the Russians captured Marienburg,
East Prussia. A squad of drunken
soldiers riticd one of the principal inns.
In their search for valuables they
opened the oven door of the inns huge
stove, made of porcelain, and brought
forth two frightened girls. One Of
them was Catherine, servant, and the
other Marie, who was staying with
her.
Both girls were bewitchingly pretty.
The soldiers fell to fighting over their
possession, when the commander of
the invading forces passed the inn.
He heard the row, stopped, and com
manded order Catherine saw her
chance. She leaned out of the window
and gave the general one of her sweet
est smiles. He and another officer
carried the two girls away.
Soon afterward Prince MenShikOv,
favOrite of the ear, and one of the
most powerful men in Russia, came
to inspect the army. He saw Gather
inc and took her away from the gen
eral. She had exchanged her simple
clothes for rich garments and was a
revelation of loneliness in the rude
Russian camp.
Catherine soon had Menshikov I'M
der her full control. Then came the
car himself, Peter the Great, abso.
lutte master of the empire. He also
saw Catherine and claimed her. She
was vampire who always succeeded
But Catherine was something more
than merely beautiful woman. Her
judgment and instinct soon made her
Peters most trusted adviser. He used
to meet his ministers at Il little house
in Moscow where she was placed, ana
weigh decisions with GATHERINGS help.
At last her domination over Peter be.
rame so complete that he married the
former inn servant and had her
crowned CZarina. GATHERINGS eIeva-
ton by no means checked her vampire
instincts. She was famous for her
inhdelities. William Mons, her court
chamberlain. was :ried on trumped
up charge and hung, really for a much
more serious offense. Peter forced
Catherine. to walk past the place of
execution. and crowded her so close
10 the gallows that she brushed her
former lover, hanging there. But she
never hinched. Afterward Peter had
the mans head sent to her room In
o bottle of alcohol.
That incident was typical of the
half-mad Peter, who also was some.
thing of genius, and of the period
in which Catherine reigned. After
Peters death she ruled alone, the mis-.
tress Of court where reves lasted n
week at time, and a mans drinking
capacity sometimes won ministry
| for him.

A VAMPIRE OF OUR OWN TIME.

THAT the vampire flourishes today
l. no less than in the famous times
of the past, is proved by the career
of Malvina Vivian. She was born a
Spanish fisher girl, who soon devel-
oped into the beauty Of her village.
A rich German, WOnler, saw her, and
according to the story, paid the girls
father 100000 pesos for possession
of Malvina. The German took her
to Paris and had her educated there,
particularly in dancing and singing.
And short time afterWard he in
stalled her in Berlin palace.
Malvina became the most celebrated
artist of the German stage. Her dane
ing was something never to be forgot
ten. She also was famous for her
costumes, the richest which Paris
could produce. Her patron spent mil
lions of marks upon her and she made
large sums upon the stage. But her
passion for gambling was greater than
all this tide of wealth, and her bad
luck endless.
Then came the war. Malvina's
wealthy friend lost much Of his for
tune, the theatcrs closed or cut eX-
penses. Malvina found herself on the
edge Of what would have been misery
to her. But she did not descend into
the pit, for it was observed that she
seemed to have as much money as ev-
en-, and wore Paris gowns of the latest
cut when German women were turning
last years clothes. Wonler became
suspicious. 1t was whispered that Nal
VIVA had turned spy for the allies, and
her position became dangerous. AL
though she was watched by the sharp
est eyes in the German secret service
no proof could be found.
SO Malyina went her luxurious way
through a suffering world until the
end of the war, when she again re-
appeared in the theaters. But 1t
seemed that money ran low with her
once more, and the gOssips said that
the price of spies had fallen. Then
Malvina hit upon desperate measures.
Size planned with a notorious thief to
roo men and homes where she could
locate treasures. The thief was
caught, confessed, and involved Nal
VIVA. She found herself in the hands
OF the law for the first time, but the
fingers of the hand opened in a mys-
terious way and MalVina went free.
Her next appearance was in the ltal-
ian Tyrol at the casino Of Meran. She
seemed to have abundant funds. In
one night she lost 100000 marks. 1t
was her last throw. She called for a
glass of champagne, climbed upon n
chair, and cried a toast to every one
in the casino. Then, as the surprised
crowd watched, ard the distant violins
kept company to her humOr, she
drained the glass and fell dead. She
had pun prUssic acid into the wine.
SO died NalVina Vivian, vampire, 1920.
