PRINCESS LUIsE Won CoBUEG.
Augsburg in 1541 she was seen by the
Archduke Ferdinand-the second son of
the subsequent emperor, Ferdinand I-who
fell in love with her. The archduke was
not only one of the most brilliant repre-
scntati,es of chivalry, but also excelled in
education Of heart and mind. 1t is there
fore not astonishing that Philippine re-
turned the affection of this fiery YOUTH
They were married three years later with
out the knowledge of the bridegroom's
father Or of his uncle, Charles V.
Ferdinand was then governor Of Bohe-
mia, with his residence at Prague. In or
der to have his wife near him he purchased
within three miles of that town the castle
OF Burglitz, where the young couple found
a charming nest to hide their love and
their happiness from the world When at
last the archduke's father knew of the
anion he grew very angry, and for long
time his son did not venture to appear be-
foro him. Even in other countries the
'mesalliance" made great noise. 1t was
pnly after eight years that the father was
reconciled. Philippine in disguise handed
him u petition and by her department on
the occasion, rs well as by her beauty, mp
peased his anger. He forgave his son, de-
clared his children legitimate and raised
their mother to be Marchioness of Burgau.
After the emperor's death Ferdinand, who
had inherited Tyrol. made his home at the
castle of Ambrns, near Innsbruck, where
the couple lived in perfect harmony till
1880, when Philippine, the idol of all who
approached her, the benefactress of Tyrol,
died-murdered in the bath, as the legend
says; in reality from lingering sickness.
In the present Austrian society one OF
the most interesting figures in many re-
CARDS is undoubtedly the Archduchesa
Stephanic, the widow of that unfortunate
prince who died by suicide at the begin
ming of 1857. Although Belgian by birth
her father is the reigning King Leopold
u-she has n good deal Of the Hapsburg
blood running through her veins, Queen
Marie Henriettc, her mother, being
daughter of the late Archduke Josanh.
