A high school girl would have been better fitted than she to rule es queen of one of the greatest kingdoms on earth. But not one girl or woman in ten thou- sand woyld have proved half eo irresistible a ruler of men’s hearts. Marle Antoinette was born in 1755, She was the daughter of Maria Theresa, Empress of Austria. And froni babyhood she was brought up with the idea of becoming one day the Queen of France. She was edu- cated in as austere and rigorous a fashion as though she were destined for a convent. Her light nature was sternly repressed and guided. So when, NO. 18,638 ILUME 53... ; MIS-MANOEUVRES. ‘ Goons FACTS concerning the recent militia manoeuvres in ‘4 Connecticut have come to the knowledge of The Evening World. ‘The simple story of a participant who kept his eyes open to what was going on around him reveals a state of things that may well amaze the average citizen who helps pay $100,000,000 o year for our costly army. + meee smnee ae Ae 4 et fifteen, she married the Crown Prince of France and found herself in the ‘a Nobody expects manoeuvres to be a picnic for the soldier. ‘They vous ot oe cinaiate gen Genrtone mont corrupt fn at Burope=tie ferait % are planned to make him work and work hard.

Yet her more or less harmless flirtations caused almost as much denunciation as did her decidediy harmful attempts to juggle with national politics, and her wild ex- trevagance. Then came the “Affair of the Diamond Necklace.” De Rohan, royal almoner, and a mighty power at court, was hopelessly in love with Marle Antoinette, She loathed de Rohan for political and personal reasons, and would not so muen ae speak to him. A clique of adventurers told de Rohan the Queen had gent ‘word to him by them that he might hope to gain her favor by purchasing for her @ huge and hideous diamond necklace which they fald she coveted. De Rohan believed the lie and readily went surety for the payment of the jewels. The conspirators cut up the necklace, divided it» diamonds among themselves ‘and decamped. When the jewellers grew urgent for their money the story became public. ‘The Queen, who had in all Probability been ignorant of the whole affair, was bitterly blamed by the public at large. De Rohan was arrested. And most of the crooks got off ecot-free, their pockets bulging with big diamonds. This scandal of the necklace was one of several events that hurried the French revolution into existence. The French people threw off their ancient and galling yoke, and clamored for thelr rights. Eyen at that late hour there might have been a chance for wise ished packing or unpacking the settees, chairs, elaborate tent outfits, wine bottles and fancy liqueur glasses of the regular army officers had little time or strength to attend to their own comforts. ‘officers denied themselves nothing.
