Sixty-third street, and the groom is
Lieut.. Herr Oscar Won Calm. of the
Ninth Huzzars, aide. camp of the hered-
itary Duke Ferdinand Este, who will
succeed the present Emperor Franz Jo-
seph on the throne of Austria. What
will surprise Miss Oohn's friends and co.
religionists is the fact that she will re.
nounce her faith and become q com.
municant of the Catholic church, to
which her intended husband belongs.
The history of the courtship teens with
romance. It is o case of love at first
sight. Miss Cohn and Lieut.. Won Calm
met at Baden, fashionable watering
place near Vienna, a year ago. She and
her parents had
SPENT THE SEASON ABROAD,
and after doing Europe they settled down
in village not far from the Springs. Won

trian families. His father is rich re.
tired banker and his brother is premier

the czar of Russia is an honorary COLO
mel The brother is married to the
Countess Szalry, and the family has
many decorations. Beyond her wealth
and the luxurious style in which her
parents live. Miss Oohn was unknown.
The only affairs she attended were
the soirees given at the various hotels.
to which every body at the Spa was well
coined. Won Calm, too, was rich, so
the fact of her being an heiress to much
wealth was not as important as it might
have been under other circumstances.
These were the main obstacles which
the ardent beau set about to remove.
His parents refused point blank to lis
ten to his suit. They made all sorts of
threats in case he persisted in marrying
Miss Cohn, and abso .utely re-
fused to recognize her. Several
officers of Won Calm's regiment
INTERPosED IN HIS BEHALF
but to no purpose. Nothing daunted,
Won Calm turned to his colonel, Duke
Ferdinand. Este Dukes answer was
kind yet firm refusal. He applauded
honesty and sincerity his officers mo-
tive, but such marriages was out of the
question. He told Won Calm plainly
that in case it was consummated his
presence at the Austrian court would be.
come intolerable, and hence his resigna-
ton from service must follow. 10 con-
ciliate the young man the duke
promised to attach to him his suit
when he assembled the throne, but even
this tempting offer did not cause Won
Calm to waver in his devotion to the
woman of his choice For time ne
despaired of ever marrying the girl.
He continued to perform his duty as
adjutant of requiem, but took no part
in it's social affairs Last spring be ac.
com panied the duke to Berlin to wit
ness man9nyers OF the German army.
While there he again broached
the subject to the duke and
begged him to give his sane
ton to the marriage. AS before
DUKE TRIED TO REASON
with Won Calm, but seeing that the
young officer was determined he finally
gave his consent upon the assurance
that he would not marry Miss Cohn,
unless she became converted to the
faith of the austrian court. He went
SO far as to write Miss Cohn's family
upon what terms he had given his con-
sent Won CalLn q mother, who is one
the haughtiest ladies of Vienna was
the last to give in, and it was
only through kind officers Of
duke che finally consented. When the
last obstacle was removed, Won
Calm s-nt the joyous news to his bride
When Miss Coin returned to Berlin
Won Calm proposed aud was accepted
The girls parents ut first objected 10
her renouncing her faith. They were
willing to receive Won Calm as q SON
in-law, but they were loath to have
their daue hter give up the religion OF
her fathers. Love finally trlumpbed
and the Won CAlm's gave their consent.
The engagement was not announced,
however. In fact verything was done
to keep it from being known. Lient.
