A ROMANTIC CAREER.
Once EnKHKed to Napoleon Bona
parte, Mile. Clary Afterward Ue
eame Queen of Sweden.
The names of Josephine and Marie
Louise are connected with Napoleon
and his fortunes, but who stops to re
member that of Desiree Clary, to whom
he was tirst betrothed? She was the
daughter of a rich silk merchant of Mar
seilles, and the Bonapartes, who were
living there in the years just preceding
their aggrandizement, became ac
quainted with her family. Joseph Bo
naparte fell in love with her, and ob
tained her promise to marry him when
she should be 21; but Napoleon, appear
ing on the scene, acted with his custom
ary emphasis, and declared that Desiree
must belong to him. The family were
used to falling in with his decisions,
and they promptly agreed, Julie, the
other daughter, who had had a liking
for Joseph, agreeing to marry him in
her sister’s place.
Desiree was a light-hearted, pretty
young creature, with a gay manner and
a merry wit. Napoleon, according to
the testimony of the Clary family, was
not overattraetive. One who knew him
at that time thus describes him:
“He wears threadbare garments and
badly-cleaned, broken-down boots. In
character, he is brusque, sulky, prone
to fits of abstraction. lie is born for
mediocrity.”
But Desiree was satisfied with him.
She found him all that heart could
wish. To be sure he was poor, but that
was a disability which could be
amended.
In May, 1795, Napoleon left Marseilles
for Baris, whence he wrote peremptor
ily to Mine. Clary, urging her to follow,
buy a house, and live there with Desiree.
The country-bred mother and daughter
were aghast. Paris seemed to them
the very center of bloodshed and tyran

ny. They did not accede to the propo
sition and a second letter from Napo
leon was left unanswered.
He was now at the lowest ebb of his
fortunes, and it could hardly help seem
ing to him that his betrothed had aban
doned him. As for her, she had heard
that he had, in his poverty, accepted
money obligations from Mine. Tallien,
and that he was courting, at her house,
u rich and noble lady named 51 me. de
Beauharnais. All appeared to be over
between them.
Soon Napoleon himself declared that
the relations between them must be
ended; his feelings had altered. Desiree
wept, and owned that she loved him
still; but on the advice of her family she
released him from his promise. In
179 G he married Josephine de Beauhar
nais, and then began the brilliant
march of his rising fortunes.
Desiree also drifted to Paris, where
she became immensely popular, and in
1798 she married Gen. Bernadotte, then
minister of war.
The upward steps of her husband are
well known. He accepted the rank of
prince royal of Sweden, and.in 1818 he
became king. Desiree had preferred liv
ing in Paris, and when she heard the
news of her husband's accession to his
throne she was at the piano practicing
a piece by Grctry. She rose and sadly
closed the instrument.
“However much I practice now,”
said she, “I shall always be told that 1
play like a queen.”
She died in Sweden, an old lady of S 3.
Her life had been one of varying for
tunes. M. Iloussaye says of her:
“She is intended for earthly honors.
She is betrothed to Joseph, then to Na
poleon, then to Duphot. She refuses
Junot, and would be glad to accept Mar
mont. At last she marries Bernadotte.
With Joseph she would have been an
imperial princess, queen of Naples and
of Spain; with Napoleon, empress of
the French; with Duphot probably
marechale and duchess; with Junot,
Dueliesse d'Abrnntes; with Marmont
marechale and duchess of Ragusa.
Bernadotte, the former sergeant of ma
rines, placed the crown of Sweden on
the head of this little bourgeoise of
Marseilles.”—Youth's Companion.
The nest Cuts for Stews.
The neck, shoulder and breast are in
the order given the best stew cuts, the
neck being the juiciest part of the ani
mal, and probably tha cheapest. It
may seem almost an affront to some
to be assured that a royal meat dish
for a family may be provided at a cost
of 25 or 30 cents. But such is actually
the case. For a brown stew (brown
stews are either fricassees, pot-roakts
or braizes if properly named) a cut
from the round is best in beef, while
for pot-roasts a thick cut from the face
of the round is nearly always used.—

FASHIONABLE WRAPS.
Garments That Will He in l-'nvor for
the Fall and Early-
Winter.
One of the newest designs is very
long and somewhat on the sacque
eoat shape, while at the sides, so as to
give a slender look to the figure, and in
front, are darts, but the fronts arc cov
ered by a jacket of jet flint looks almcfst
like a coat of mail, and which hangs
loose from the shoulders to below the
waist line, where it is finished with
fi inge. There is a high collar that Hares
considerably, is covered with jet and
lined with white satin, or some colored
satin, over which is lace. In front there
are two long pieces of lace shirred to
gether into a small space and fastened
with a rhinestone buckle. The lace it
self is so long that the ends fall to the
very hem of the cloak. The sleeves are
much larger than those worn in waists
and in ordinary jackets. They are more
in the shape of bishop sleeves, and are
shirred in at the wrist. The entire cloak
is lined with white brocaded satin. It
is a superb garment, and, needless to
say, are exceedingly expensive ones.
There are some much less expensive
black satin evening wraps that are be
tween a cloak and a coat. They are fitted
in at the waist, and have two top capes,
one overlapping the other and forming
a point in the middle of the back, the
ends in front shaped like pelerine. The
capes are lined with white or with some
contrasting color in brocade or satin,
and are trimmed with two rows of black
ribbon, one wide and one narrow. The
high flaring collar is box plaited in the
back, fastens in the front with a bow
of broad black velvet ribbon, the ends
of which fall down almost to the hem
of the coat. This garment has medium
sized coat sleeves, but put into an ex
aggeratedly large armhole, so that an
evening waist can be worn without
damage to the sleeves.
Still another style of black satin coat
is made on the plan of a man’s saeque
overcoat or of a woman’s driving coat.
In hangs loose from the shoulders in
the back and is double-breasted in
front. It has some curve at the side
seams, so that it is not the shapeless
garment that might be expected. It
is very smart lined with old-gold satin,
and should be made double-breasted
and fastened with jeweled, jet or crystal
buttons, and has revers and a high,
flaring collar. It is said this style of
coat, lined with fur, will be one of the
fashionable styles for the season, but
it is an extreme style, and so far has
only been put forward, as it were, ten"
tativcly. All these coats and cloaks
arc made long, so that they- will partly
cover the train.
There are a great many different
widths of satin. The most expensive
are very much wider, and some French
dressmakers have even used upholster
er’s satin. The wider, of course, does
not necessitate so many seams.
Black brocaded wraps will also be
fashionable. These are supposed to bt
more suitable for middle-aged women,
and have always, until now, been rather
relegated to dowagers; but young
women have noticed how beautiful tins
material is and how becoming, and by
using their bright things and a lot of
light trimming, such as white lace,
have taken this garment into their own
list.
Some very smart black brocaded
coats, very plain in the back, fitted in,
but with full skirts and with bishop
sleeves, and with high flaring collars
and loose fronts, lined with light bro
cades or satin, and with handsome jet
or passementerie trimmings and long
lace ends, make very handsome gar
ments and very useful ones. They arc
not necessarily extravagant in price, for
black brocades of the medium widths
have been rather a drug in the mar
ket lately, consequently some very
good patterns can be bought at com
paratively little expense. It takes, of
course, a good many yards to make
such a garment, but it will last a long
time, and is not too conspicuous to
wear in the evening in some public
conveyance. The light wraps look
much more effective, and are mere gen
erally used. One or two that have
been brought over recently are espe
cially noticeable. One in pale yellow
brocaded satin, lined with white satin,
is a garment fitted for a story-book
princess. It is double-breasted,
trimmed with a stole of Russian lace
of very rare design, and with an un
der-stole of Russian sable. There are
jeweled buttons, or what look like jew
eled buttons, to fasten the coat down.
The high collar is. covered with fur and
has inside pullings of white chiffon.
The sleeves are bishop, and have lace
rutiles almost entirely covering the
hand. The object of the garment seems
to be to hide the wearer entirely; for
all that can be seen of the woman who
wears such a garment is her head, and
only the upper part of that for the
collar comes half way up the head at
the back. —Harpers’ Bazar.
Flowers la tile Ilnlr.
There never was and never will be
a style as pretty as the wearing of
flowers in the hair. Wreaths of fine
1 (lowers, like rosebuds, forget-me-not's,
I heather or the small fruits are a pretty
[ surrounding for young faces, and clus
! ters of flowers worn low on the hair,
I just behind each ear, as the Japanese
girls wear them, are becoming to about
everybody. A real beauty needs noth
ing’- more than a single flower placed
among her tresses. A fad of the mo- 1
meat is to select some one flower and
hold it as we do our favorite perfume, i
, It is repeated in the many ways known ,
j to milliners and dressmakers, and is one
of the few fads which bears relation to
common sense. A pretty woman gains
| an added charm from the choice of a
flower which she wears in her hair, eith
er twisted Into a garland or wound in
her tresses, or tucked behind her ear
or pinned somewhere to her gown or
jacket. There is always charm in va
riety, and flowers are capable of giving
i it.— Detroit Free Tress.
ARREST FOR HAVING MONEY.
Police of Vienna Suspicious of Per
sons Displaying Unusual Weulth
—Frequently Eat Humble Pie.
There is an old story, which goes
down from generation to generation,
among the merry Viennese, of how a
gay young nobleman won a curious
wager. He declared that it was quite
possible to be by the Vienna
police without committing any crime
whatever. To prove this Count Sailor 1
appeared one day, shabbily dressed, at
an obscure inn, ordered some refresh
ments, and paid with the Austrian
equivalent for a £ ICO note, which he
r pulled out of the shaft of his dilapidated
topboot. This was quite sufficient to
bring a guardian of law and order upon
Hie scene, who took the “prisoner" to
’ the nearest police station in order that
■ he might justify the possession of so
> much wealth.
1 The Vienna of to-day is vastly differ
" cut, in most respects, from the Vienna
1 of the time of gay Count Sandor. This,
5 however, does not prevent similar acci
- dents from happening. Thus, the Ger
-1 man papers are just now full of right
> eons indignation because a German was
I taken up the other day by an Austrian
• detective when he tried to change a
- £ 100 note at midnight in a Vienna cafe.
• It was only at the police station that
l the detective could be convinced of the
■ fact that even an honest man might oc
’ j easioually have a 11100 note in his pos
- session, and that it is even possible he
5 may wish to exchange it at a restaurant.
But even this recent occurrence did
‘ not suffice to quench the zeal of the
; Viennese detective. Only a few days
; after the episode with the German
> croesus a foreigner drove up to n Vien
na night cafe, sat down, and ordered a
- bottle of champagne. Night cab, cham
■ pagne, foreign accent these were
I quite enough to cause such emotion
> that the band ceased playing for a
moment. However, the stranger was
‘ jovially inclined; treated everybody,
‘ the musicians included, to champagne,
- icek, etc., and all went on merrily till a
, hand -was laid upon his shoulder, and a
: low voice said into his car: “Don’t make
‘ a fuss, and come with me ut once.”
- “I with you!” the stranger ex
' claimed. “Is it to another cafe you wish
• to take me?”
1 “Not exactly,” was the reply. “You
- come to the police station with me and
- explain who you are and where the
i money comes from which you are scat
tering about so freely."
The "criminal,” offering the man of
t law and order a scat in his cab, did as
’ he was bidden, and once more the Yien
. na police had to eat humble pie, and
i beg pardon of the stranger, who, so far
i from being fraudulent, cr worse, was
’ only a Russian trying to get rid of some
> of his great wealth in the gayest capital
: of Europe.
. It is to be hoped that the zeal of the
I Austrian detective will, after this, be
l blended with a little more discretion
, than his hitherto been the case.—St.

The Stationery the Soldier Wrote On
Caused the Indifferent Girl’s
Heart to Soften.
The recent marriage of an ex-soldier
- from the First infantry, who conducted
, his courtship by correspondence from
the front, set the conversational brill
■ rolling in a hotel lobby the other night,
sad one of those present told a quaint
. story. "I have a pretty cousin," he said,
“who knew a chap in Roosevelt’s rough
I riders. He was a South Carolina boy,
and had been courting her a good w hile
„ without tlie slightest encouragement.
. It was a sort of Dr. Fell case—she had
. no reason, but simply didn’t like him.
Well, when the regiment started for
, the front he began to write her letters,
and tip-top letters they were —bright,
. cheery, full of gruphiu description and
. at the same time gently pressing his
. suit, but they made no special impres
sion. My cousin used to hand ’em round
for the family to read, which was the
. w orst possible sign, and while her uu
i suers were friendly, they were certuin
, ly nothing more. Then came the light
. ing, and after the storming of San J nan
, hill 1 naturally supposed the rough !
, rider would have things all his own way,
but the girl was apparently as cold as
ever. To come to the point, she showed
, no signs of weakening until one day a
letter arrived in a queer-looking dirty
brown envelope. The letter itself was
scribbled on a piece of coarse w rapping
paper, and the writer apologized by say
ing it was the only thing he could find
, In the entire camp. When my cousin re
ceived it her eyes lit up. Her imagina
tion was touched. She began to realize
tlie horrors of war. The next letter was
written on the hack of an enilmimcd
beef label, and when she read it she shed
tears. The next was two feet long and
one inch wide, being the margin cutoff
of an old newspaper. It caused her to
wet p some more, ami when still another
missive arrived, penned on the reverse
side of a dirty linen collar, she openly
surrendered and announced to the
household that she was engaged. They
were married last April, and are as lov
ing as a pair of turtle doves. But it was
all on account of that eccentric sta
tionery. If my cousin-in-law had pro
vided himself with a box of scented
note paper he would still be single.

Oh, Woman!
They were sitting on the veranda of a
summer hotel.
“Oh, how horribly sentimental!” ex
claimed Miss Divine. “So you really
carry a lock of his hair in your locket ?
Such devotion is almost out of date.”
“I did not mean that you should see
It,” said Margaret, forcing a smile. “If
you had not picked it up before I no
ticed that it had dropped it would not
have been opened.”
“Oh, you needn’t be ashamed of It—
really, I think such devotion is charm
ing. I am so anxious to see your
fiance.”
“You will soon have the opportunity,
for he is coming to-morrow. lam sure
you will like him —he is a very fine char
acter.”
Twelve hours later they were sitting
in the same place. Margaret’s fiance
was with them. Miss Divine was scan

Southern Itlaek Belts.
A considerable number of districts of
the south contain a black population
exceeding GO per cent, of the entire enu
meration. These districts are found
from Richmond to Raleigh, and in two
thirds of South Carolina, and in a wide
belt extending from Augusta, Ga.,
southwesterly to the Alabama line, and
across Alabama, Salem and Dcmopolis,
and along both banks of the Mississippi
river from the delta to Memphis, and in
the Shrevesport section of Louisiana,
and in the Houston neighborhood in
Texas. In about onc-tliird of Alabama
the proportion of negro population,
however, is.below 17 per cent. In the’
districts most densely populated by
negroes there are 25 or more to the
square mile. The two largest areas
heavily peopled with negroes are fous.d
in South Carolina and along the lower
Mississippi river.—Birmingham Age-

Scotch 7.115 t nnil Other Mists.
Tourists in Scotland are sometimes
surprised to hear the name “mist” ap
plied to what seems to them rather a
shower of rain. The peculiarity of a
Scotch mist is that tlie drops of mois
ture are very large and scattering.
This, according to tlie investigations of
Mr. John Aitkin, is a result of the puri
ty of the air in the Highlands. An
ordinary mist, or fog, in a dusty conn-,
try or a smoky eity is dense because
tlie moisture has innumerable floating
particles to settle upon; but where the
air is free from dust the fog nuclei are
widely separated and resemble minute
drops of ruin.—Y'outh’s Companion.
Ventilation.
“It really s a wonder that some peo
ple do not die of suffocation, even
though their rooms are large,” said a
woman who was taking in Eng whiffs
of out-door air. "I have just been call
ing at a house that is well furnished,
and inhabited by a family that seem to
lack nothing except a knowledge of
ventilation, and there they are worse
than paupers. Really, I don’t believe
the windows in that house have been
opened in a year. The inmates seem to
thrive and grow fat and good-natured,
but I cannot understand it.” —Detroit
