~ institution called the salon
gatherings something like our
Formal receptions-which held its
place with great Importance not
only in social affairs, but in those
OF state. For in the various
houses. presided over by prom.
inent ladies' of society, many
grave political affairs were given
direction at these gatherings.
Among these salonists none was
more prominent than Julie Les
pinasse. And when her origin
and unfortunate heritage are con-
sidered 1t is indeed difficult to
understand how successfully she
overcame her great handicaps
and acquired an undisputed posi-
ton of power in France.
For Julie Lespinasse was a
child born without q name. She
was the natural daughter Of the
Countess d'Albon, a woman Of
noble birth. Of Burgundy.
