A duel was some years since fought at
Starsbourg between two ladies, one French
and the other German, on quarrel about
miniature painter. The combatants met,
pistol in hand, and each attended bysa female
second. The German was furious, and
insisted on fighting muzzle to muzzle; but
the French woman, regulating her conduct
by the advice of her second, stood out for
25 PAGES. They fired together, and miss
ed. The German then insisted on their
approaching, and firing until either fell.
The seconds, however, now interposed,
and declaring that the laws of honor were
satisfied, took away the pistols, and the al
fair ended; but without any apology. The
fair French woman, before leaving the
ground, handsomely professed herself not
actuated by any personal hostility; s'she
had thought it due to her honor to take a
shot with the German, but now that the af-
fair was at an end, the lady was welcome
to the miniature painter, whom she had
forbidden her presence that very NOR
mng."
