ACCOMPLISHMENT, in the presence Of large
and brilliant assemblage. In consequence
of the political situation, however, the
King Of the BelgiAns and the Caarina
failed to attend, and the Compts de
Paris was also conspicuous by his absence,
it being feared that his political foes would
seize the opportunity and expel him from
French soil. Upon the completion Of the
ceremony Mayor KOechRu made an ad'

Prince. as to cause offerss to many RsI ub.

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE BETRorHALs
For months the event which was brought
to elimination today has been the ab-
sorbipg theme VI conversation in Cont.
mental court circles, aud The Royslists
and leaders Of high society generally
are greatly plessed with the union.
1t was fist made public al Gmun-
den by the King Of Denmark on the
occasion of the baptism Of the iuf, MT son
of the Duke Of Cumberland. who is mar
ried to daughter Of his majesty Besides
the King sn1 Queen Of Denmark there
were present at this family reunion the
King Of Gree ce, the Queen DoRsger Marie
of Hanover, the Duke and Duchess Of
Cumberland ard several othor Do'abilities.
King Christian acted as godfather on the
occasion, and there was great surprise
when, after liberal Io;Stious, he blurted
out the announcement Of the coming we'd
ding, and staggering from cne kide Of his
chair to the other, demanded wine cup in
hand, and in s,entorian tones, that the
company should drink TO The health Ci the
afianced couple.
CHRONIC WIPE HUNTER
The happy bridegroom Of to day has for
years been q chronic wife hunter Long
ago attempts we're fruitlessly made to OBJ
tain for him Belgian Ffs.ii22seesS, and then
he tried his wiles upon the late 'sincess
Christine, daughter Of the Due de Mont
pensier. Typhoid fever, however, snapped
away this prize, snd since then the Queen
OF Denmark hes uLsuccessfully angled in
behalf Of her son until she landed the
Princess Marie. The chef object OF the
royal mother was 10 get handsome dowry
for her youngest son, butthe King has ideas
which reach beyond the question
of lucre. In his profound conviction
that unless France returns to monarcbisl
form Of government Europe is lost. In
his opinion, if the Republic continues it
will ultimately cross the national boun.
daries and spread ALA over Europe. owing
to the expansive character of French
genius and the attraction of the Republi.
can idea. Hence he argues, that by ally
ing the royal house of France (Which has
long since ceased to have marriage con.
pections with the other royal houses Of
Europe) with the powerful nations over
which the Holstein blood will reign, he can
bring about restoration Of the disgraced
and detbroned BouIbons. arrest the Re
publican propaganda, and ensure the Sc
curi,y Of the wise provision he made for
his children when he married them to the
present or presumptive rulers Of nearly
one-third OF the human race.
PEN PICTURE OF THE HAPPY COUPLE.
The Princess Marie passed the twentieth
year few weeks ago Her hair is hazel
brown, her skin fair, and she has remark.
ably fresh and country complexion. Her
face, without being pretty or distingae, is
pleasing, although il Is slightly marred by
the ill-defned, thick nostrils that are the
characteristic of the family. Her frame
is inclined to spareness, but this defect is
scarcely noticed. In demeanor she is ex.
tremely graceful. She can boast Of many
Accomplishments As q water-color.
ist she has few equals Of
her own rank; she can
use her pencil cleverly and as an eques.
tsienne she is dsshing and bold. Like
most of the women OF her family, she is
ambitious, and has long been hupgering
for q royal position. While, therefore,
there is little love in the present match, it
being purely and simply marriage des
convenieuces, she is satisfied because it will
add to her happiness to be treated as sis
ter by the Czarina and the other exalted !
relatives of her husband. She has been
brought up the by the excellent but COM
pletely deaf Joinville, and for years has
spent the summers at the family palace in
the forest Of Chantilly, and the winters in |
superb mansion in the Rue Francois
Premier.
FEMININE BRIDEGRooN.
Unless ell signs are deceptive. the young
and handsome bride win, in Euglish par
lance, wear the breeches." for the bride
groom is completely lacking in spirit
Prince Waldemar was born in October,
1858. and although First Lieutenant in
the Danish navy, can hardly explain the
difference between o main and nizzen-
mast. he is tall, with blonde hair, large
blue eyes, a frank, handsome face; highly
educated, q master of several languages,
and speaks French With the grace and els-
gance Of Partisan. he is, in fact, tres
9enhl garcog, but there is very little in
him, and this, combined with bis poor con-
stitution, would, with many poorer but
more particular girls, make him anything
but desirable husband. He will, however,
be good man to wind silk for embroidery |
purposes and 10 carry sketching materials |
about The country lanes and over the
beach, and, on the whole, is likely to give |
his wife small cause for complaint.
TIE BRIDAL TEoUssEAU.
Of course the feminine world of Paris
has gone wild over the bridal outfit, espec-
Tally as an attempt has been made to re-
yiye in 1t the fashions set BY the brides
grandmother, the Duchess Of Orleans, dur.
ing her short and happy married life.
Some Of the dresses have heen copied from
portraits Of that peritorious bat deeple
afflicted Princess, which we're f.l -.
