- coat and wrap a necessity.
And the new Spring models are
not only necessities, but things
of rare beauty and convenience,
and there are wraps and coats
for all occasions and ones for

For sports wear, motoring,

to ankles, and may be buttoned
close about the throat, or left
open on warm days. The raglan
sleeves allow plenty of room. II
one cares to wear the coat over
a heavy frock or sports suit,
and in the dark tones it makes
an excellent travel coat.

For afternoon affairs, a cape

bordered with bands Of the cara

throughout with beige and black

Not only black, but colors as

Grays, tans, browns. dull green

ROYAL ROMANCES

Or. Johnson loved--a good hater
she did everything in her
power to thwart tho Dauphin,
even to the extent Of betraying
the confidence Of the king and
entering into political intrigucs

King Henry VIII.
That was too much for even

the death Of Francis l., March 81,

Henri H. Anne realized that her
hated rival would virtually ascend
the throne with him as q left

she had completely filled her heart
OF Francis, she had not reigned
openly. Diane would.
Anne feared swift retribution.
Diane, with twelve years patient
waiting behind her, came into
her own. She disgraced and ex-
lied all the Duchess's creatures.
But that was probably only a
much-needed general house.clean-
ing. When it came to dealing
with Anne. at the moment of
supreme power she exhibited a
surprising Tnagnanimity, a spirit
too big for petty spite.
She merely ordered her to leave
the court, allowing her to retain
all the estates and anpuities that
the king had lavished upon her.
Anne retired to one of her e.
tates and became a religious devo-
tee, but sank into such obscurity
that the period Of her death is
not certain, though it is supposed
to be in the year 1876.

life touched the heart NJ
Francis I. at the age Of
twenty and was the dominating
influence Of his life. Anne de
Pisseleu was then eighteen, her
beauty flaming like a jewel. She
had brilliant, cultivated mind
and a sensitive. artistic soul.
And. too, she was conventional
not at all the type Of woman who
deliberately throws her bonnet
over the windmill.
Not even Francis, the greatest
king Of that day In all Europe,
could boast Of an easy conquest.
In order to give rank to his fav-
orite, the king followed the court
custom and arranged a marriage
between her and Jean de Brosse,
bestowed upon him the duchy Of
Estamps and knighted him.
The new Duchess d'Estamps,
adored, showered with gifts, es-
tates. annuities. reigned as his
sultana without rival for twenty
years.
Meanwhile the young Dauphin
was growing up and Anne's peace
was destroyed by the presence at
court Of Diane Poitiers. his new
Egeria. Both women were clever
and beautiful and between them
there existed a bitter rivalry. At
times the French court became
too crowded with them both, and
1t required all the diplomacy Of
the royal father and son to re-
store peace.
The court finally became d.
vided. The Duchess formed q
party in favor of the young Due
d'Orleans. the brilliant younger
son Of the king. whom he ten
derby loved. The Dauphin was
the least favored Of all the kings
sons, but he was heir apparent
and Diane was at the head of his
party.
