The Princess Stephanie, of Belgium,
the future wife of the young Crown
Prince Rudolph Of Austria, is only six

first met her two years ago. The be.
trothal was celebrated privately in the
family circle, after the Crown Prince
asked the royal parents for the Princess
Stephanie's hand. The Princess has
hitherto led a secluded life, having been
seen very seldom, even in Brussels. The
wedding will probably not take place fol

as Stephanie is the granddaughter of the
much-loved Archduke Joseph, for half a
century Palatine of that country.
