 in the royal school of the Legion of Honor at 

 St. Denis, as the separation of her parents, 

 whose union had proved infelicitous, deprived 

 her of her fortune. She evinced intellectual 

 qualities in youth, and made rapid progress in 

 her education. In 1850 she married Frederic 

 de Solms, a wealthy Alsatian, who, however, 

 separated from her two years later, on the oc-
