Her father, Baron de Baillon, was 15 years ago a leader in Austrian aristocratic circles, and afterwards held a high official position in the prov- , inces. He lived beyond bis means, ! so that, on his death, his only daugh-| ter was left destitute. She became a governess, then a seamstress, finally a domestic servant in a poor tradesman's house.
