LONDON, Oct. 19.-The marriage of
Prince Hatzfeldt and Miss Clara Hunt
ington, daughter of Mr.. c. p Huntington,
will take place at the Oratory at Bromptou
at II O'Clock in the morning on the 2Sth of
this month. The past week has been de-
voted to the arrangement of the necessary
preliminaries; and in the region of Hanover
square and Dover street, where the con-
tracing parties are at present respectively
residing, there is state of happy anticipa-
ton quite commensurate with the fact that
one of Americas daughters is to become
princess in a family which dates back into
history for 900 years.
The date of the marriage was not settled
upon until yesterday afternoon. Various
circumstances have delayed its final con-
clusion. The marriage will take place in
London according to the rites of tins Catho-
lie church, including the publication of
bans, which necessitates that both the con
tracing parties should be Catholics, and
that they should have had a previous resi-
dence in London for certain period
The first obstruction and disappointment
came through Miss Huntington becoming a
communicate of the Catholic church This
has been entirely by her own desire, as the
marriage could have gone on just as well
without it; but she so chose, and a Catholic
bishop will marry them. The other OBJ
lection was overcome by means of special
license.
The ceremony will be performed in the
most fashionable Roman cathedral in Lon
don. and under the superintendence of Bish-
OPP Patterson the nuptial knot will be tied.
The wedding will be private one, without
oStentatlon or eXtraneouS ceremonies and
f.ia Of hot
will be present. This is due partly to the
fact that the Huntingtons are in mourning,
and furthermore to the departure of Mr.
and Mrs. Huntington for America on the
30th in the Teutonic Mr.. Huntingtons
business calling him to New York without
delay.
On the day of the ceremony Prince and
Princess Hatzfeldt will leave for honey
moon which will be spent at the northern
lakes. After a month there, the Prince
will take his bride to Schonstein, the cen
tire Of the Hatzfeldt estate in Germany.
The Huntingtons have been here for
month and the prince arrived ten days
ago. The ceremony was originally in
tended to take place in Paris, but the ne
cessity OF Mr.. Huntingtons stay in London
altered the primary plans. For q week
preparations have progressed with all the
pleasurable tfutter incidental to such happy
occasions. What the results are is not
known, but it is quite certain that they are
in every way satisfactory to all parties
Mr.. Huntington has been in the most
genial mood every since his arrival and
seems to hare accepted the role of father
in-law to prince as new and very
pleasant addition to his fame. Miss Hunt
lngton's wedding dress is being made in
Paris.
Prince Hatzfeldt has been variously de
scribed, and under the circumstances
new picture of him may not be uniuterest-
ing. He is blonde, of medium height and
OF square and symmetrical figure. His hair
parts in the centre and rolls back in the
German way, and his mustache, which is
brown and curling, takes princely honors
among mustaches. His face is German in
type and clear cut, though it looks as though
he were entirely cosmopolitan. He is ex-
ceedingly good-natured, off-hand, and very
cordial in his address. He Las penetrating
blue eyes, ShreWd in observation and has u
quick commanding manner that is appar-
emily due partly to his traditions and partly
to his nervous and why make up. He
dresses very quietly and with a gentle
mans taste and evinceS notable discrimina-
ton in the matter OF scarf pins But for
his faint German accent in speaking Eng
fish, he might be mistaken for d young
American of the most polished class. The
Almandcb dc GOtht says he is thirty-six
years old, but he does not look thirty tits

become apparent.
From the very sentimental complexion of
affairs at present it seems that the result
would have been the same if the prince had
had the good fortune to be thoroughbred
American without anything to recommend
him to his bride and father-iu-law except
himself
The castle of Schonstein, which will be
the future residence of the prince and prin-
cess, is quite realization of the dreams of
all young ladies who read novels. 1t is
located on a precipitous cliff on the Rhine,
and its picturesque, ivy grown gray walls
and towers are the most imposing features
in the landscape primary miles. 1t has the
felicity of being 900 years old, having been
built by the feudal Hatzfeldts and occupied
without break by descendants up to now
The estates are extensive and farms and
woods stretch in all directions over the pic
turesque rolling country, so that the prin-
cess to be will be sovereign of all she sur
veys, in several directions at least There
are three old chateaus in the ruins. Among
the other adornments of the fief, the en-
vironments and legends that cluster there
about from the story of the siege of 1913
back through the realms of semi-mythical
tradition, will be liberal education in Ger
man history if anybody ever masters them.
