Her name was Marguerite Carrel. And to her name there hangs a story. Seventy years ago. in 18-10. when Marguerite was 20, the Carrel were among the silk magnates of Lyons. The silk magnates fortjm d a btlity, an arlstotracy as proud in its own way as the old aristocracy of France had been before the revolu tion. Marguerite^was the Carrels’ only daughter. She waa extremely beautiful, and before she was IS had as many admirers as the Lyons kIIk merchants had grown-Up sons. Hut she would listen to or look at none Oi them. And then one day a young Englishman came to Lyons. His name haa not survived. He was the heir of an English silk firm*, a firm of Importers which ban business dealings with the Duvu, firm, a rival of the Carrels. Be: ween the families was a feud as bitt *r as that between the Montogues and Coputets. Marguerite Carrel hiet the youiif?
