Nowhere have historical events caus

de St. Martin were succeeded at the
end of the sixteenth century, when
Henry III., the last of the house of
Valois, came to the throne, by the
white standard powdered fleur-de-lis.
That in turn gave place to the famous
tricolor which was introduced at the
time of thé revolution, but tlie origin
of that flag and its colors is a disputed
question. Some maintain that the in
tention was to combine iu the flag the
blue of the chape de St. Martin, the
red of the oriflamme and tlie white flag
of tlie Bourbons. By others tlie colors
are said to lie those of tlie city of Paris.
Yet again other authorities assert that
