CELEBRATED GOLD-DIGGERS
Nine Took Extravagant Favor From Napoleon and
Then Conspred Against Him.
GLASS

The overthrow of the old regime in
France by the Revolution produced a
Encouragement of fortunes in which
families and individuals of compare
lively humble estate rose to unexpected
opulence.
OF ahthose who were dra gged to gilt
tering heights by Napoleon Bonaparte,
none Jared so Spectacularly as cid An
dache Junot and his wife, the former
Laure Permon.
In the case of Laure Permon. We OBJ
serve a daughter Selling opportunities
for worldly advancement, which her
mother had rejected
In the early days of his prominence,
Napoleon was frequent visitor at the
home of Laure's mother. who had been
the friend and intimate of his own
mother.
Mime. Permon was a beautiful woman
and so veil preserved in middle age that
she was often believed to be her daugh-
ter's sister. Napoleon fell in love with
her, and despite her greater years, asked
her to marry him. She declined. Pos
Sibly had she foresean the future of Nhe
rising general, she would not have
done so.
When Laure Permon reached mar
riageable age, Napoleon was no longer
available as husband, as he had mar
ried the beautiful Josephine Beauhar-
nais. The impaired Permon fortunes
had to be retrieved. Laure did the best
thing possible by marrying the dashing
officer Andache Junot
This brilliant knight of battle was
the favorite of Napoleon. He had been
the generals secretary at the siege
OF Toulon, his aide-de- camp in Italy,
and one of his generals of brigade in
Egypt. On their return to France. he
had fought a duel in Napoleon'S behalf
His services earned him the post of
commandant of Paris and commission
as general of division. His later serv-
ices included the invasion and subjuga-
ton of Portugal Napoleon made him
the Duke, and his wife the Duchess of

AS wife Of the Governor of Paris,
Nine. Junot was the second lady of the
empire; her hotel was imperial in its
splendor; her toilettes we're as elegant
as those of the Empress: her banquets
and entertainments were historic in
their SumptuousnesS
Napoleon'S liberality could not keep
pace with the financial needs of the
Junots. The duke, importuned inces-
sanity by his needless wife, obtained
more and more perquisites and still got
in debt. Perhaps it
was relief to Napoleon that. in 1913.

Your Baby and Mine
Stammering.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.


Stammering is the sort of nervous

small things that the experiences of
mothers with stammering children are
of enormous Importance and interest to
others The following letters offer no
particular panacea, for there is none.
but they do suggest methods which
might be tried out If a child is develop
ing into Stammerer We offer a leaf
let on the subject of stammeling, cover
ing the common causes and suggesting
some helpful books. Any reader may
obtain this leafilet for a self-addressed
stamped envelope incloSed with her re-
quest.
Mrs c. w. B. writes: MY son, aged
Az. has twice gone through the stam-
mering stage. One book on psychology
II am sorry you didn't mention which
one, MIS-. G. w. b. suggests that this
may be caused by the child's need for
a more extensive vocabulary. / found
this to BE- true in my sons case. When
he started to stammer I tried to calm
him and told him to take his time. In
a short time a few new words blossomed
out. 1 have noticed this in other chill
dren."
Il am past So" writes Mrs. M. E. w.
''but 1 always read your department, for
hope some day to have grandchildren.
l noticed that my children Stammered
after they had been tickled by any one.
This went on until was certain of it
and then 1 put ali end TO tickling. 1t
may be enjoyable to an adult to see
child double up with laughter. but 1t is
certainly hard on the child's nervous
system
Mrs. NJ. s. says: my procedure Is
contrary to the usual ones but 1t has
given satisfactory results. My daughter
has stammered since about years OF
age. I was advised to ignore it, but
felt that the habit was becoming fixed
by repetition.
LAS q last resort began reminding
her gently not to repeat words and to
talk like mother l was emphatic in
praising her for the way she cares for
her dolls. puts her playthings away
and recites poems. Now the defect Is
scarcely noticeable. She takes this
suggestion exactly as she takes all
other suggestions, and she goes Tor
hours without stammering. l try to
guard against overfatigue to keep her
better tempered and more cooperative.
My method may not be scientific, but 1t
is working"
1t is always reasonable to use
method That Is SUCCESSFUL WIN tnc AL
dividual child. Science can do no
more than suggest the ways Seneflcial
to the most children. On the heels OF
these letters came another from the
aunt of a boy of II who was very
bright. had an excellent vocabulary and
was not suffering temporarily. Hitch
ing this to the first letter we see con-
nection. for this boy may want to use
more words at the moment than come
quickly to mind and in his effort TO
use exactly the right word he has to
stop and think, causing him to lag IN
his speech. Perhaps less effort to use
unfamiliar words. adding to his vo-
cabulary only a few new ones at time
NAV end his difficulty Any way of
living which contributes to the child's
general good health and calm should
also bring about an improvement In
jerky speech.

how the scheme was worked out. He
went home and had bunk made for
his boys.
He had to build the framework out

Lampson hung draperies similar to
those used on four poster beds. She
used the same chintZ to make a valance
