TO a story of that noble family
which is well7known q. in fact,
!. which used TO be rather often
told in Paris drawingrooms. The
= story goes back TO the great
grandmother of the present Mar
quis de Crussol. She was a lovely
young Russian woman. And her
marriage 10 the Due Dues who
held the title in the middle eight
teen hundreds. was just one Of
those unions of May and Decem-
Der. And TO "A young noble, much
IN love with this ancestress. who
disguised himself for a time as
servant in those eighteen hum
dreds.
So these, among others, were
the skeletons in the closet that
Marquse Jeanne pulled out when
she made those angry remarks
10 her mother-in-law. Naturally,
You may see, Duchesse Marie
Therese, as managing woman,
would have preferred TO keep
those skeletons in the closet
and away from her daughter-in-
law. But the daughter had heard
all about them And. hearing,
suffered shock And. hearing,
rather found herself For, at once,
she reasoned quite in the Amer
lean manner:
Who are These People 10 look
down on me ? At least ! know
that my grandfather was my
grandfather She talks Of mob
Jesse oblige my mother-in-law.
But that business of the four
suits OF armor. was that noblesse
obbge? From this day on

/ A IL this she was thinking, az

without meaning. suddenly full
and interesting For, as she was
riding home, she passed a square
where an advertisement Of "A po-
liucal meeting was just being
pasted 10 a billboard. She locked
Half of the poster was a picture
picture of Edouard Daladier,
the Deputy from Vaucluse
Why. she knew Vaucluse, And
Orange and Carpentras, his coun-
try-she knew il. They were
places near the dues estate.
She had driven by them often. So
he was a provincial, this Dala-
der. and he came from her own
part Of France? Then. suddenly,
something arose up in her heart
Why not? Why couldn't he
be my political protege? Why
couldn't my wealth help his ca
reer? Shape It? Give 1t pur-
pose and meaning? Well, why
not ,"
Her next step I heard from her
own lips when. at a luncheon
Marie Therese gave at the Club

the story

Later ! heard what happened
az the meeting Daladier. IN those
days it was about 1888 made
a ringing speech for Labor. AS
"A common man ne talked for CONF

assailed the selfish old families
Of France. their vested interests,
their determination to keep on
drawing interest on their invest
ments. no matter what happened
TO France. With zest and sin
cerity, Marquise Jeanne listened
and lifted up her heart. At the
end of the speech, she made her
way shyly TO the speakers desk.
Finally. she said a few words to
the deputy.
But you were so convincing
But I believe in all you said. And
I would like TO help--help the
cause you stand for"
THE heavy grave man with the

ways looked at her. And, sud

young woman before him remind

stood, young golden-haired, gen
