HEROINES OF HISTORY
Master Mind in Plotting Robespierre',
By MARK STUYVESANT

THE honor that stands like q
monument to Jean Lambert
- Tallien as the man who
stopped Robespierre and thus
ended the French Reign of Ter
conspirator Of the revolution.
The power behind Tallien,
which actually reached out and
worked through him, was a
woman's. It belonged to that ex-
quisite and capricious character,
Therese Tallien, who directed the
destiny Of her native land glo-
riously, but who could not direct
her own lifel
Therese was the daughter Of
Count Cabarras, a resident Of
Madrid, in which city she was
born. When hardly more than a
young girl she married M. de
Fontenay.
They moved to France, only to
run into the revolution, and de
Fontenay was imprisoned. Ma
dame travelled to Bordeaux to
beg for his pardon and it was
then she met Tallien, who was
engaged in prosecuting the Giron-
dists.
Tallien was fascinated by her
beauty and wit. He at once re-
leased her husband and did a
little something, It Is to be as
sumed, in helping that gentleman
to get into Spain, for de Fonte-
nay was hardly more than across
the border when TalIien per-
suaded Madame to obtain a di-
vorce and Immediately afterward
married her.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-11-28

She then took up the work Of
averting such horrors Of the revO-
luton as she might. Through
her efforts many were saved
from the guillotine. But about
the time she came to be known
as Our Lady Of Mercy" Tai
liens policy Of lenlency was con-
demned in Paris, and he was re.
called.
Madame Tallien was thrown
into prison. where she shared the
room Of Josephine, the future
empress Of France. While her
husband was exerting himself to
effect her release, she instigated
him to plot against Robespierre.
BY following her suggestions, he
overthrow him and delivered
France from the Reign Of Terror.
A public celebration Of the Tai.
lien marriage followed, and hus-
band and wife settled down to an
ideal union with madam exercis-
ing the most beneficial influence
over his public life.
But she tired of him finally,
and again went through the di-
vorce court. Criticism and con.
demnation followed her action,
becoming so potent that Napoleon
forbade Josephine to have any
further intercourse with her. He
then excluded her from court.
Madame Tallien thus was
thrown into the opposition. which
led to her connection with Mad.
anne de Stael and the Prince de
Chimay. who became her third
husband,
She died at the age Of sixty.
