A Jewess Finds Way to Reach Impsrssi
Favor-Romantio Courtship Of Lieuten-
ant Calm and Cora Calm.
New YORK, November s.-About two
years ago lieutenant OF Hussars In the
Austrian army, high In favor at the
rigid Catholic Court of the Empire,
while riding through one Of the suburbs
of Vienna, passed dark featured girl
who was galloping along with
the ease Of an accomplished
eQuestrienne. He was Catholic and
she Jewess. But he turned to catch
a glance Of 9 neat, plump figure, ana
she turned to see how the dazzling
hussar uniform looked In the back.
Their eyes met, and then both quickly
jerked their heads the other way. They
continued looking straight ahead as II
nothing had happened. This afternoon
they were married by Mayor Grant. and
their courtship of two years, full OF ro-
mantle vicissitudes, came to an end.
His name is Paul Calm and he is
lieutenant of the Ferdinand Este Regi-
ment, crack Hussar corps OF the Aus
trian Empire. Her name is Cora Louise
Cam, and she Is the daughter Of Henry
H. Calm, q wealthy glass importer, re-
siding at No. 157 East Sixty-third
street. Mr.. Calm has a summer resi-
dence at Baden, near Vienna. Though
Of Jewish birth, he is radical In his re-
ligious views, and the result OF MS IN
difference to the Jewish rites ana Gus
toms Is that his wife and children pre-
tend to no religious belief whatever.
Soon after the first meeting OF Miss
Calm and Lieutenant Calm they became
acquainted, and though neither Papa
and Mamma Calm, nor the summer folk
at Baden saw anything unusual In their
friendship, it kept on growing at an
amazing rate. One day the Lieutenant
revealed to the Young lady the state OF
his heart, and to his great delight she
confessed that the state OF her heart
was the same as his.
1t was then that all the trouble be-
gan, and the course Of true love was as
rugged as climb over q mountain top.
A lieutenant in the army, Cain was
worthy of acceptance at Court, but
Jewess could never be. As chivalry
forbade man to accept honors which
his wife could not share, marriage
meant to Lieutenant Calm resigna-
ton from the army and WIN
drawal from the society in which
he moved. He went to Ferdl-
nand, Prince Este. the Colonel OF his
regiment, and his superior, told him
that such q marriage would never DO.
Then his mother, a proud Vienna lady.
as stubborn as she was wealthy, set her
foot down and threatened all sorts OF
things IL her son married the Jewess.
But the Lieutenant made mp his mind
that before he would relinquish Miss
Calm he would resign from the army,
break with his mother and his friends,
and leave the country. Matters re-
mained so for nearly year, and then
Miss Calm very happily solved the
whole thing by deciding to become
member OF the Catholic Churchs
Her parents objected very strongly at
first, and In her way she was just as de-
termined rs the Lieutenant, and finally
won her point.
The wedding took place In the Calm
residence, and was witnessed only by
few relatives OF the bridal pair. An
imposing ceremony In the Catholic
Church will be performed In Austria.
Lieutenant and Mrs. Calm started for
Washington late In the afternoon, and
they will travel about the country Tor
some time. In the spring they will 60
to Vienna to live.
