TRUE LOVE BASIS OF
THIS ROYAL
Heart Affair of Henry the Great" of France, and
Gabrielle dEstrees Was One Of Real
Affection and Beauty.


out question n OF the most popular
figures In French history. Henry'-
reign IN Notable for the reforms
which he effected In his beloved
country. His first act on being
raised to the throne was 70 restore
peace and prosperity TO the country.
Probably il was while on one OF his
surveys that he met Gabrielle. She
was the daughter OF Antoine
distress. Marquis OF Coeuvres. and
II war In November. 1890. when
Henry stopped at her fathers castle.
that he first met Gabrislle.
Whether Il was love at first sight.
I don't know. but the fact Is given
that Henry became deeply enamored
OF the lovely Gabrielle. and she with
him. Her father. seeing this and
wanting 10 save his daughter from
such an affair. hastily made arrange
ments for her marriage TO Nicholas
d'Amerval. Seigneur Do Liancourt
OF course. being OF noble birth. the
permission OF the king had to be
obtained before the marriage could
take place. However. Gabrielle mar
ried d'Amerval. and we are told that
the union was a most unhappy one.
Probably because OF her love for the
king. she could not bear the thought
OF separation, for her affection FOR
Henry was deep and sincere.
In 1894. the inevitabls came 70
pass. and Gabrielle went to the pal.
ace as the kings mistress Margaret
OF Valois was the queen al his tlms.
and. history tells US. a woman I'm
worthy 70 bear the title. Ii was be.
cause OF quarrels with her that
Henry undertook the war Of
lovers"
Gabrielle's love and quiet influence
was such a relief from the stormy
scenes between himself and his
queen that Henry can hardly be
blamed for such a step. In those
times. II was not considered amiss
for the king 10 do absolutely as he
pleased regarding HIS affairs Of the
heart. Gabrielle was ever the king's
cOnfidante; he listened eagerly and
willingly 10 her advice. which hs
sought on all occasions.
That the king love for Gabrlails
was as deep as her own for him
evidenced by the fact that he fully
intended marrying her in tbs event
that his suit for the notification OF
his marriage to Margaret was ap
proved by the Holy See. However
before the divorce was granted
Gabrielle died. Naturally. poison was
suspected. some historians saying
that IL was administered TO Gabrielle
In an orange. This. however. is not
thoroughly substantIated. as other
and more authentic sources state
that she died from natural causes.
Henry had created her r peercss
OF the realm. bestowing on her the
titles Of Marchioness OF Monceauz
and Duchess OF Beaufort. Her chill
dren were legitimatized and rec,
osnizei by the king.
The supreme evidence OF the ar.
lection in which Gabrielle was held
by the people was given on her
death. She raj sincerely mOurned
and universally Ismented.
Here was one royal romance ir
which Love was absolutely the gov.
erninE factcr, and IN which ambI
ton had no part. Nor did intrigue
evey rear a Medusa head to spoil
it's beauty and loneliness.

How can the heart keep on, hour after hour,

From early times it has been customary to d.
vide the day into three equal parts: Eight hours
for labor, eight hours for recreation. eight hours
for sleep and refreshment.
This is the pretty general acceptance of the
idea that eight hours of work Is the outside limit
of what should be undertaken If you were to
stick to this rule. it is probable your life would be
prolonged.
