Juliette Peirce (;〔"Peirce", in the case of Juliette and Charles Peirce, rhymes with the word "terse" and so, in most dialects, is pronounced like the word "".〕 d. October 4, 1934) was the second wife of the mathematician and philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce. ==History== Almost nothing is known about Juliette Peirce's life before she met Charles—not even her name, which is variously given as Juliette Annette Froissy or Juliette Pourtalai.〔Brent, Joseph. ''Charles Sanders Peirce: A Life''. Bloomington, Indiana: Indiana University Press, 1998, p. 141.〕 Some historians believe she was French, but others have speculated that she had a Gypsy heritage (Ketner 1998, p. 279ff).〔Ketner, Kenneth Layne (1998), ''His Glassy Essence: An Autobiography of Charles Sanders Peirce'', Vanderbilt University Press, Nashville, TN, 416 pages, hardcover. Uses a fictional framing device, but most of the book presents Peirce's own words and the words of his family and friends.〕 On occasion, she claimed to be a Habsburg princess.〔Brent 1998, p. 143.〕 Scanty facts about her provide only a few possible clues to her past. She spoke French,〔Brent 1998, p. 148.〕 had her own income,〔 had gynecological illnesses〔Brent 1998, pp. 195, 204, 249, 258.〕 that prevented her from having children, and owned a deck of tarot cards said to have predicted the downfall of Napoleon. She probably first met Charles in New York City at the Hotel Brevoort's New Year's Eve ball in December 1876.〔Houser, Nathan (1989), Introduction, ''Writings of Charles S. Peirce'', v. 4, p. xxii.〕
