wife, daughter of Prince Leopold of Saerno,

no less a parsonage than Princess Thyra,
| Princess of Wales, and of the wife of the COM
ing Gear. This rumor naturally creates a great
deal of political as we'll as social comment, for
in case a marriage is consummated it is be-
| lieved it will auger Russian support of the
| Orleanjsm, and an alliance in future of the
coming Gar with France against Germany.
