Another writer will point to the fact that the Duchess of Windsor is the most charming, magnetic woman. Imaginative writers go all the way back to Cleopatra in making their nominations. It seems to me, however, that, everything considered, the most charming woman who ever lived was not a movie actress, an Egyptian queen, or the heroine of a popular novel She was Instead a mild, middle-age- d woman who lived in Pari around the middle of the Nineteenth century. Her name was Madame and although she left behind nothing but sA exquisite legend as of a rose that had bloomed for a while in a garden and vanished, men and women still praise her. The secret of Madame Reca-oilercharm was that she put herself always in the other person's place. She was an enchanting listener," one of her admirers said. She was. She rarely spoke hersell But she did something far more important she contrived to make you ay bright and witty things. She had tremendous tact When you called at her home, she smiled graciously, made you feel more welcome than youd ever felt anywhere before. She wasn't flowery or extravagant about it It was tha way she said what she said rather than the words she used. One of her friends, the great French author Sainte-Beuvwrote on the day sfter her death, She would have liked to stop everything at April her heart remained at early Spring What did she offer these persons that they loved her so? Not wealth. Hera was lost Not position. She lived in a flat Then what? The sheer charm and power of a perfect personality. Jeanna Francolse Recamier was her full name.
