Eugenie Not Allowed to Pick Flowegs at Site of Her Old Palace In Paris.

Paris, France. — A story is printed of an incident which occurred on the repent visit to Paris of the former Empress Eugenie, widow of Napoleon 111. She was walking in the Tulleriei gardens, where once stood her splendid palace, and picked a flower from the border. An attendant saw her and said: “Picking flowers is strictly forbidden. I must report you." >He demanded her name and address and she answered timidly: “Eugenie.” The attendant was struck by the melancholy aspect of the aged woman and relented, saying: "That is ndt a name. However, never mind this time, but do not do it again.”
