LADY CHARLOTTE BACON died at her
residence in London the other day at
the age of rs. She was the second
daughter of Edward Harley, fifth earl

known to her own circle of private

de Moray in the trying times which pre-
coded the Second Empire, and it was in

beauty and grace were long without

But when her fortune was spent and her
beauty gone, her power faded away,
and she died almost forgotten by every

HEPRINCEss STEPHAyIE, of Belgium,
the future wife of the young Crown
Prince Rudolph of Austria, is only six
teen years old, and is one of the most
beautiful princesses of Europe. She is
accomplished, her tastes being highly
artistic and musical. The Crown Prince

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 for a year. Hungary is particu-
larly pleased, as Stephanie is the grand
daughter of the much-loved Archduke
Joseph, for half century Palatine of
that country
