Romances of the Worlds Great Lovers

; Young men and old thronGed around
her. and an Introduction 10 Mile.
Lenclos Immediately placed one In
the fashion.
st. Evremond. who had been Len
clos lover during their youth. was at
the zenith OF Lenclos' career exiled.
but during his exile the famous wit
never forgot his early love. The few
really authentic letters OF Lenclos
are ones addressed 10 her old friend.
and their letters during the last
years OF their lives are exceptionally
touching.
V~oltaire. TOO. fell under the spell
or this modern Circe and IN her will
she left him 1900 francs with which
TO buy books.
Perhaps the best portrait OF
Lenclos is given by Mile. de Scudery
in her novel "Clelie.' in which Len
clos figures as "Clarisse."
While IL II said that Lsnclos'
beauty was what drew men 10 her
in droves. IL is not. perhaps. that.
SO much. as her evenness OF temper
and her unfailinS good spirits.
Beauty she had and wit. and the
story Is told that the young Able
Gedoyn at the age Of twenty-nine fell
violently In love with Lenclos when
she was eighty years Of age.
4 remarkable woman and one
whose name will go down in history
forever. Perhaps her great secret
was charm. in fact. | am rather in.
clined 10 believe II so. for beauty
fades and II one at the age OF eighty
still has the power to attract. IL is
impossible 10 conceive that beauty
was the cause OF the attraction.
While L'Enclos had several chill
dren. there is no record or her ever
having married But in those days
that was no disgrace. Truly a history
OF a love life that stands out most
indelibly on ones memory.

Among the most distinguished OF
her lovers may be mentioned Gas
