WHAT EVERY WOMAN KNOWS
AHERNE EVAN!
(Special Al Mall Service)
London, Jan. 9. Marie Louise was in the auction limelight last month at Sotheby's, but with dimiained lustre. Yet, as will be proved; the diary, pur porting to be in her own band, covering the period between ADMI 1810, and September, 1813, was very well sold in realizing £490.
The moot point raised was whe- ther this handwriting was the Empress's own. It was suggested that it might have been that of a copyist or of such an intimate amanuensis as that ingenious Mme de Monte-bello, who was the only person at the French Imperial Court capable of deciphering the Intricate writing of the letters which Napoleon wrote to Marle Louise on his campaign.
The story of the finding of this particular diary is a romantic one. Apparently in her hurried fight from the Talleries on March 29. 1814, she dropped it on the floor off her apartment. One of her pages found it and took it to his tutor (who annexed it), The tutor's: 818- ter afterwards sold it to an Eng- 1ish lady, whose granddaughter. sent it to Botheby'
