--At the recent reception of
Americans by the
French Emperor, a letter says:
‘
In passing in front of the
Americans, the
Empress stopped to speak particularly with
Miss King, of
Georgia, with whose name and face she was already familiar, and she conversed also with
Mrs. Ronalds, whose acquaintance she had made on the ice at the
Bois de Bologne.
Mrs. Ronalds, as the Bostonians all know, is a famous skater, and it was her skill on skates that attracted the attention of the
Empress, who entered into conversation with her on the ice, and complimented her.
Mrs. R. cut herself with one of her skates the last day she was out, and the
Empress kindly asked after her health.
