HE WISHED TO GET MARRIED.
When He Could Not Wed n Duchess
lie Took n Princess.

That romance is not entirely wanting even
in royal marriages Is shown by the pretty
story which precedes the engagement OF the
King Of Portugal. Prince Carlos, who was
known at that time as the Duke OF Bra
ganza, was on the way to Venice TO cele-
brate his betrothal to the Archduchess Ma
rio Valerie. daughter Of the Austrian En-
peror when. upon his arrival at Paris. he
received news that her imperial highnese
had changed her mind. The Prince was I'M
willing to return without BRIDE and sought
the advice Of the Marquise de Ia Ferronay,
an old friend of the family. Her ladyship
showed him the picture Of young girl, who
she said, was rich. talented and equal |
rank. II will have her. whoever she may
be" exclaimed Carlos. Where can che be
ner," replied the Marqulse. Her Royal
Highness. the Princess Amelie Of Orleans,
arrived yesterday In Nice" Three days
later the Duke and Princess met for the
first time. and shortly afterward their be-
trothal was announced.

The bubble rose
A shimmering, glimmering. airy thing
An emerald shsllop on silvery wing
Ger the silver sea:
Luminous. changeful. quivering,
1t slowly grew;
A fairy castle appeared to view,
with turrets and towers OF rainbow hue.
Moored on the sand.
The wondering child reached forth its hand
And the bubble burst.
IT'S thus that We
on the mystical. wavering: dim threshold
or the dawning day watch slow unfold
Our dearest hopes,
As they change in the light from gray to gold
And with bated breath.
Like children, We stretch our hands to CLASH
The cherished things that eludo our grasp
And, hooking. fly
Far. far Ger the blue OF the smiling sky
Into nothingness.
