NOW IT SO HAPPENED THAT THREE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT ENTERTAINMENTS OF THE SEASON FELL ON THE SAME NIGHT AND MADAME MILDOU WITH ALL THE UNREASON OF HER SEX DESIRED TO ATTEND EACH ONE OF THEM
t with in damp, marshy places. Certain flowers (lilies-of-the-valley, marigolds, and azaleas), as also diamonds, are said to attract werwolves, thus proving a source of danger to those who wear them. And _à propos_ of this magnetic property of diamonds the following anecdote comes to me from the Tyrol:-- A WERWOLF IN INNSBRUCK Madame Mildau was one of the prettiest women in Innsbruck. She had golden hair, large violet eyes, a smile that would melt a Loyola, and diamonds that set every woman's mouth watering. With such inducements to seduction, how could Madame Mildau help delighting in balls and fêtes, and in promenading constantly before the public? She revelled in a universal admiration--she aimed at a monopoly--and she lived wholly and solely to exact homage. To be deprived of any single opportunity of displaying her charms and consequent triumphs would indeed have been a hardship, and to nothing short of a very serious indisposition would Madame Mildau have sacrificed her pleasure. E OCCASIONALLY TO BE MET WITH IN DAMP MARSHY PLACES CERTAIN FLOWERS LILIES OF THE VALLEY MARIGOLDS AND AZALEAS AS ALSO DIAMONDS ARE SAID TO ATTRACT WHERE WOLVES THUS PROVING A SOURCE OF DANGER TO THOSE WHO WEAR THEM AND APROPOS OF THE MAGNETIC PROPERTY OF DIAMONDS THE FOLLOWING ANECDOTE COMES TO ME FROM THE TYROL A BEARWOLF IN INN'S BOOK MADAME MILDAO WAS ONE OF THE PRETTIEST WOMEN IN INN'S BOOK SHE HAD GOLDEN HAIR LARGE VIOLET EYES A SMILE THAT WOULD MELT A LOYOLA AND DIAMONDS THAT SET EVERY WOMAN'S MOUTH WATERING WITH SUCH INDUCEMENTS TO SEDUCTION HOW COULD MADAME MILDAOU HELP DELIGHTING IN BALLS AND FATES AND IN PROMENADING CONSTANTLY BEFORE THE PUBLIC SHE REVELLED IN A UNIVERSAL ADMIRATION SHE AIMED AT A MONOPOLY AND SHE LIVED WHOLLY AND SOLELY TO EXACT HOMAGE TO BE DEPRIVED OF ANY SINGLE OPPORTUNITY OF DISPLAYING HER CHARMS AND CONSEQUENT TRIUMPHS WOULD INDEED HAVE BEEN A HARDSHIP AND TO NOTHING SHORT OF A VERY SERIOUS INDISPOSITION WOULD MADAME MILDOU HAVE SACRIFICED HER PLEASURE
