ROmances of the Worlds
Great Lovers By cozETTE DOUGLASS

Agnes a four children, ana IL
was shortly after the death OF her
fourth child that she died. Her death
was sudden and was attributed to
poison. some even going 50 far as to
blame the dauphin. At any rate, his
enemies used this in later years In
an attempt to turn the king against
him.
Whatever else Agnes may have
been. whatever her shortcomings. II
Is unquestioned that she favored
the best advisers of the king.
II would be interesting IL we could
obtain authentic accounts OF the
lives OF these famous people-not
simply the bare historic facts which
history gives US. Even Agnes
beauty Is more or less legendary. "a
no portraits OF her have ever been
found.
On Agnes death, her heart was
buried in the Abbey OF Jumieges. and
her body in the Collegiate Church
OF Loches.

I seems that no day passes with.
out n Of u favorite stories OF
historic characters being torn TO
shreds and all the illusion and
glamour with which we have sur.
rounded the characters Is laid low.
So 1t Is with Agnes Sorel. Up
until a short time ago Agnes Sorel
was supposed to have been the good
angel of Charles VII. and now along
come some learned savants and saw
that she was the exact opposite. Be
that as IL may. we are more con-
cerned with her romance with the
king than we are with her character.
And somehow or other II seems
rather pleasant 70 think OF her as a
woman OF force and character rather
than as a weak. spineless creature
with never a thought but her w
prestige and comfort.
Agnes Sorel was born Of a family
OF the lesser nobility OF France.
When but a girl. she was attached
TO the service OF Isabel OF Lorraine,
Queen OF Sicily. who was the wife OF
Rene de Anjou. brother-in-law OF
Charles VII.

However. the fact remains that
she was Charles mistress and the
public acknowledgment. OF her posi-
ton scandalized the people and
brought about a storm OF jealousy
and intrigue. So great was Charles

her the state and distinction OF a

Rouge offers one of the pleasing varieties for

And Now-Printed Jersey!
The Newest Sports Frocks
Are Truly Things of
Beauty"
BY Marie Marot.

DVER on the up and up
II, when it comes to figuring
out something to satisfy
the Oliver Twist appetite Of the
modern woman as far as clothes
are concerned the manufacture
ers have conceived the most
marvellous printed jerseys to
enhance an otherwise drab
world Of plain color materials.
Two charming frocks are pic
tured here, one showing the use
of printed jersey and the other
the influence of the modernistic
trend in clothes.
At the left the material
chosen in wool-crepe in a stun
ming shade Of blue. The printed
jersey has a background of light
green with flowers of dark blue,
rel, orange and yellow. Sounds
sort of nightmarish, but stun
ming nevertheless. The pleated
skirt with the smart use of the
printed material is certainly an
innovation, as are the diamond
shaped pieces on blouse and
sleeves.
At the right, the material
chosen is gray jersey. The band
ings are of brilliant scarlet and
blue and the side pleats on the
skirt give just that difference
that makes for chic and charm
in clothes.
Altogether, two splendid mod
els. which may be developed in
a number Of color combinations,
dependent upon the taste-and
coloring-of the wearer.
But ones wardrobe must con-
tain at least three or four of
such little frocks if one would
be considered really smart
