AN UNcRoWNED QUEEN OF
ROME.

A n EXQUISITE picture in the ToSiO
a gallery of Brescia, italy, still pre-
serves for us the charming face of

behind one of the strongest books In

by one whose loves we're anything but

are exertlng influence, while in loving
we are merely passive agents of a
motive force"
When TulIia's young loneliness be
gan to attract attention in Rome, no

the Vatican. Because of its churchly
character It was not deemed fitting
that ONE should he admitted there.
And Italian ladies of that day did not
hold free intercourse with the other
sex. This resulted to the advantage
of ladies who entertained well if not
formally. Their houses became the
centers of society.
Tullia soon became the recognized
mistress of this society, and the first
men of the world paid court at her
feet. She exercised political influence.
lived lavishly, and was the uncrowned
queen of Rome. Poets sang Of her
charms, churchmen, soldiers and
statesmen contended for her favors.
So many duels were fought about her
that at last she was compelled to
leave Rome.
In Siena she met with what must
have been the great humiliation of her
life. Duke COsmo had issued an order
that all women of easy ways must
wear the Yellow Veil, which consisted
of a gold band on their headdress.

THE WOMAN WHO SOLD" ENG
LAND.

TT ENRIETTA STUART was a cold
pale loneliness and slight cOloring of
the consumptive. She was born in
1914, the daughter of Charles l, who
died on the block. Her mother fled
to France, leaving Henrietta with a
trusted woman. This woman after
ward disguised the young miss as a
boy and started to leave the country.
All the way to Dover she protested
that she was not "a ragged boy" but
"the princess" Fortunately her child
ish prattle was not understood.
In France Henrietta grew to early
beauty, and at seventeen was married
to Philippe, Due d'Orleans, the only
brother Of Louis XIV. The king loved
her, and it was through her that he
met Louise de la VALERIE.
When Henrietta lost her hold over
Louis she became involved in an affair
with the Comte Armand de Gulche.
They were separated, to meet again at
a masked ball. AS the two were talk
ing they saw Philippe approaching.
De Guiche hurried down the stairs.
Henrietta tainted and fell the length
of the fight-into De Clutches arms.
That almost cost him his head.
Although Louis had put Henrietta
aside she undertook a secret mission
for him to her brother, Charles II of
England. And through her a treaty
was negotiated by which Charles I'M
dertook to Join Louis in an invasion
of Holland, and to Protestant
ism for Catholicism, all for a heavy
price. If England rebelled, France
was to send troops and more money.
Historians have called this treaty 'the
sale of England to France" but 1t new
err was carried out.
For this important service Henri
eta enjoyed the high favor Of Louis.
She detested her husband, a queru-
lous fop, and her love affairs were
many. But it is doubtful if she ever
truly loved anyone, for her abiding
passion was a worship of ceremony,
fine clothes, entertainments and all
the gallantries of the court. She was
an elusive beauty who inspired affec-
ton in many hearts, but it would seem
to have been her pleasure to toy with
the fire of life rather than to play
with 1t.
When only twenty-six she fell mys-
teriously i'll, and many have believed
that she was poisoned. No evidence
could be found. The king came to her
in her last moments and was 80 dis
tressed at her suiferings that he sug-
gested leaving. But she begged him
TO stay, saying, 81 suppose that |
must die according to etiquette and
repressed all signs of her agony until
the end came.
