Madame De Lafayette and Her Family

Excerpt from the Preface:The wife of Lafayette rests to-day by the side of her famous husband in that forgotten cemetery of Pic�pus, a pathetic "God's Acre" in the heart of careless Paris. One hundred years have elapsed since her death. Time has effaced every trace of the beautiful garden wherein as a child she play Editor The "vast" Hotel de Noailles is a tale of by-gone days, and her Paris is fast passing. But the memory of Adrienne de Noailles must always live in the hearts of those who, now a great nation, were only a band of struggling patriots when Lafayette espoused their cause. Womanlike, she loved that cause-because him she loved loved it.
