A GODDESS OF DEATH ONE WOMAN WHO WAS TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR THIS WORLD. •he Had Florence In Mourntag For the Victime of Her lovellneM and Heartle»»ne»»—Her Power Over Men and Her Awful Fate. While personal beauty Is naturally the most coveted possession o£ woman, It is a gift which may be almost as full •f danger to herself as to those who fail victims to it. From the days of Helen of Troy and of Cleopatra to our own time it has brought perhaps more disaster to the world than delight, or, at least, happiness; but to one, at least, It brought a life of such tragedy and suffering as has rarely fallen to the lot of any woman. It was at Florence that Rosaura Montalboni, perhaps the most beautiful woman the world has ever seen, lived in the days of the Medicis. No man has ever ventured with pen or brush to I portray her beauty, and it is only from its effects that one can judge of its ' surpassing brilliance. r From early girlhood this beauty gave her a power and an empire over hearts such as no queen of Europe could wield. Men flocked from ail parfti of Europe content to catch a glimpse of i her during her rare walks abroad. If . she appeared in the streets of Florence it Was a signal for hundreds of woi« shipers to flock around her for the mere delight of gazing on her or by I some happy chance touching the hem , of her gown. When she went to church thousands flocked to see her, and it was in vain 1 that the priests tried to conduct the t services. The door of her residence ; was besieged night and day with lovers of every class, from princes of the , greatest reigning families of Europe to peasants and fishermen. Every day > brought her rich stores of presents, J some of which might well have bought a king’s ransom, while others were the ■ tribute of lovvly admirers, who offered them as humbly and reverently as if 1 they were laying them on an altar. > None would receive payment from her, from the wealthy merchants who laid at her feet their treasures of rich dresses and jewels to the humblest tradesman or domestic who ministered , to her, and, crowning triumph of all, f women were as eager as men to ren- , der homage to her beauty and vied ’ with each other in their offerings and 1 their worship. It was inevitable that many should , suffer for beauty such as this, and especially as Rosaura was as heartless as she was fair. Scarcely a day pass. 1 ed when she was not the object of i some fatal duel or when some lover I did not destroy himself in despair of ( winning her. It is said that there was scarcely a family of any position in 1 Florence or for many leagues around f It that had not to mourn a son or near t relative, and many complaints were [ made to the authorities by indignant parents. On several occasions she was brought 1 before the judges, who were as power- , less against her charms as the most | love stricken youth in Florence. They earns to condemn and remained to worship her fatal beauty, for as she ’ appeared before them in all the glory J of her beauty even the eyes of stern j judges were dazzled, and they were ready to go into the dock for her sake. 1 It was about this time that great dis- ’ tress fell on Florehce. The city was in . the grip of famine, and hundreds were [ dying for want of bread, but while thousands were starving Rosaura would give up nothing of her luxuries. It came to the ears oi the poor that ■ while they were dying for a crust of J bread this spoiled child -f fortune was • drinking the costliest wines, eating the rarest delicacies, enjoying her baths of 1 perfumed milk and squandering every • day more than would keep a hundred • families in comfort. Roused to a terrible anger, they be- , sieged her palace and forced their way _ «nto It, with the object of killing a wo- ’ man so heartless. Without a tremor . Rosaura went from her room to meet her would be murderers, and the mere sight of her radiant and stately beauty so subdued the ringleaders that they fell on their knees and kissed the ground at her feet. But Nemesis was coming nearer every day. Once, when a court official had committed suicide for her sake, she was condemned to be branded and sent into exile, but no executioner could be found to do the work, ami one of then sacrificed his life rather than touch hei shoulder with the redliot iron. When she was summoned Jjefore the reigning duke, he, too. was vanquished, and. in stead of punishing her,-he sent her away with presents and a benediction. It was his successor, Ferdinand ds Medici, who broke the spell of this fata’ beauty. Realising that she was the greatest enemy to peace within his kingdom, he Issued orders for her arrest. She was brought for the last time before judges, who were proof even against beauty such as hers, and was sentenced to lifelong imprisonment and to wear a mask, fashioned like a skull, to conceal the face which had wrought so much havoc. For forty years Rosaura suffered this horrible punishment, her very jailors shrinking from the grinning skull which always greeted them. When at last ihe was liberated and the skull mask was removed, the wrinkled, shrunken face that was disclosed to ▼lew was almost as hideous as ths mask that had so long bidden It. A Good Nrnne and Riche*. “Your enemies are saying that you have made your name a byword,” said the censorious friend. \ ' “Yes,” answered Senator Sorghum serenely, “I fancy I have arrived at a point where my name at the bottom of « check win buy about anything 1
