Child the banker; still there is a shade Of
aristocracy W hicIl appears cold even
to the Frankfort Rothschilds. The no.
biity Of the Bertllier de Wagram is
not yet scclllar, It dates from 1907. But
it has been allied with all the highest
mushrooms which owe their existence to

Sweden and the hereditary Princess of

and the Roman Catholic branch of the
! HoheZ0llenls; and through the Bonapartes
they are associated with imperial bees and
purple.
The new Princess De Wagram is not in
