the story was later told in Brittany as finally the
story came to be told in my presence in the draw
ing-room of my cousin Mile. de Breuilly, daughter
of the Marquis de Breuilly.
why" replied the mother, what better could
give this child of ours than a noble marriage?
Have we not educated her at Les Oiseaux, the most
distinguished convent school in France? And now
shall we not find her a lordly husband? For her
dot will be rich You will to that So shall our
daughter raise her head proudly. Will it not come
to pass ?"
Thus with blunt, ambitious plottings did those
two Breton parents plan for the future Of their
daughter
Accordingly, with careful counsel, the young
Jeanne Beziers was encouraged to let stone pass
unturned as you Americans say, to fulfill her des
tiny. And Of those stones was to keep in touch
with her schoolgirl friends of the convent; to &C
cept what invitations came her way. And some
came surprisingly from noble families old and
well-placed At such times the Breton schoolgirl
visited in ancient houses where her practical pa
rents would have seemed odd and out of place. And
one day there came an invitation written on paper
with noble crest, inviting Mile. Jeanne Beziers to
be one of the guests at hunting party at the
Chateau de Pouiguen.
Then in the Beziers chateau, that big substan-
TALLY furnished house set hill above the Breton
sea- there were flutterings and shakngs of the
head and whispered consultations, a substantial,
grizzled man, Pere BeZers, sat in the matrimonial
bedroom upon the good, old-fashioned featherbed,
to which he chung despite his wfes objections Pere
BeZlefS at IndI SIduIlCH WOllldl
in her Breton rocking chair. Madame Beziers was
holding the invitation in her hands.
But it is an honor" she said, something l
never dreamed of Why, the proprietor of de Pou
liguen is other than Philippe Delaroche-Ver-
net. The politician who they say wrote speeches
for Monsieur BRAND the Premier. And this inv-
tation from him to our little girl Think of it,
Old Pere Beziers smiled with a slow dawning
satisfaction"
"But how did it come? And why? 1t is the
mystery"
Never mind how it came, so long as it is here"
reioiced the ambitious mother. Anything may
in-law son-in-law from the high aristocracy."
"One day it may cost me many louis dor to
have noble son-in-aw."
But yes" agreed Mere Beziers, land thank the
Bon Deu, that you are rich enough to buy our
daughter with your louis For the very best in hus-
bands"

it. though | do not vouch for it.
Only l know that consultations
such as this are all in the French
manner For we French, particu-
larly on our way up, arriving"
as you say. are practical and a
bargaining people. And noble
sons-in-law down the generations
have cost low-born but wealthy
fathers-in-law plenty Of our good
French francs
However that may be, the
very next day Mere Beziers bus
tied up to Paris with her golden
haired, dimpled, precious daugh-
ter. The great Worth turned out
a flock Of frocks "jeune file" to
adorn the Breton heiress with
