presses her attitude toward Napoleon. She
accepted her marriage TO him with resigna-
ticn, as one Of those sacrifices that were de-
manded of the daughter Of an emperor. And
that marriage was an ordeal through which
timid and unsophisticated girl Of eighteen
could never have passed as successfully had
she been sustained BY anything less than the
mighty traditions Of the imperial house OF
Austria Il is impossible not 10 feel that
Marie Louise must have found Napoleon
very trying husband On his side he be-
haved toward her as well as he knew how.
He had an enormous respect for all that she
represented, and the marriage seemed to him
to symbolic the magnitude Of his amazing
elevation.
To show how vast was the gulf that lay
between what had been and what was; be-
tween the young republican general who had
married a Creole widow Of dubious reputa-
tion and ambiguous position and the En-
peror of the French who was marrying the
daughter Of the Emperor OF Austria. But
despite all his good intentions Napoleon
could hardly have failed 10 offend the sensi-
bilities Of a young girl who had been brought
up in the decorous atmosphere Of the court
Of Vienna.
CERTAINLY the picture which Marie
~ Louise gives in her diaries OF her life
with Napoleon is calculated in many re-
spects to arouse ones sympathies on her
tchalf. The dairies contain an account OF
several journeys which Marie Louise made
with Napoleon through various portions OF
his empire. They bear the imprint Of
very uneomplex and candid mind, not de-
void of humor or penetration, but almost
completely lacking in imagination. Marie
Louise recorded what she saw and what
she felt without reservation or elaboration
and the results present luxurious mixture
OF naivete and shrewdness. Napoleon II
appears. was far from being an ideal
travelling companion. His own indefatigable
energy was equalled only by his complete
disregard for the feelings OF the con-
venience of the people who accompanied
him. "when travelling with the Emperor
il is impossible to amuse and instruct one
self as it is impossible TO do as one likes"
writes Marie Louise. And the journeys, to
Judge from Marie Louise's account of them'
AZ far as she was concerned, seem 10 have been
compounded almost equally of boredom and
discomfort. "The Emperor" Marie Louise
complains. treated us like grenadiers'" On
one occasion we learn that he walked her

hours. On still another he made her 60 with

son re-eehoes IL with particular bitterness.
II is, however, very far from being just and
is almost wholly an Outeome OF the practice
Of judging a persons conduct according 10
preeoneeived notions Of what he ought TO
have done.
At any rate. II does not seem to have oc-
CURED to her that she ought to have re-
n,ained with Napoleon in exile and defeat.
She accepted the release that circumstances
Afforded has as passively as she accepted the
marriage they had imposed on her She
turned TO Austria, where she bestowed her
affections upon Count Neipperg, gentleman
from Wurtemberg, whose merits were in
no way extraordinary, but whom she ap-
pears 70 have found more eongenial than
Napoleon ever had been. SO complete indeed
was her dissertation from Napoleon's for
tunes that she learned OF his death Al 81.
Helena only by reading the news OF IL in
n gazette The letter which she wrote 10 her
friend the Countess de Crenneville on that
occasion is euriously Illuminating as re-
cards the relations OF this mediocre and un-
impressionable woman with the extraordinary
man whom she had married Far from hav-
ing in treated me. as all the world believes
she writes. "he always showed me every con-
sideration, the only thing that can be de-
a.red in a political marriage" She is quite
explicit concerning her own attitude. Il

for him." she says. And there is no reason
to doubt the entire truth Of her statement

as a reason that a woman ought never 10
want to eat.' He frequently lost his temper,
and on one Of these occasions, Marie Louise
states, "feeling quite Indifferent, let him
seold as much as he liked without answering
linn. There is nothing which quiets men so
soon as this method" Then she adds with a
vehemenee rarely found in her utteranccs,
they are insuGerable beings, and should
ever come back in another world ! would
certainly not make second marriage
There is a certain irony in this curiously
literal and unenthusiastie account Of nan
who has become an almost Legendary figure
that causes one TO reflect upon the transfor-
nations effected by humanity's capacity for
hero worship. Certainly after the panegyries
lavished upon him by the great Of the earth
enc would expect girl Of eighteen, whose
own talents were by no mean distinguished.
TO be enormously impressed by Napoleon
Bonaparte, particularly when she happened TO
he married TO him. Marie Louise, however,
appears to have been completely obliyious TO
tn. fact that her destiny was remarkable or
that anything out Of the ordinary was ex-
peeted Of her. "The aneients," DR.. Jowett
reminded US, "never really knew that they
were Aneients." And, like them, Marie Louise
never seems to have realized the discrepancy
between what she actually was and what
posterity would expect her 10 be.
TNHE chief criticism Of Marie Louise has
- always been based on her behavior to-
ward Napoleon after his downfall. cOndem-
