-----
Than was Marie Antoinette with the Parisians. Her domestic life was saddened by estrangement from her husband, by lack of sympathy among her rela tiyes, by the terrible tragedy which ended the life of her son, Prince Rudolph, and by other tragedies which involved the happiness and sometimes the lives of those nearest to her. At last her sneerings were ended by the dagger of a cruel anarchist assassin. As the author Of this volume says: She died as she had often wisl'led to die, swiftly and painlessly and under the open sky. Who can say that her last breath was not a sigh of thankfulness and peace?
