ANEx KINGS MARTIAL TROUBLES

AN Elk KINGS MARTIAL TROUBLES.
II will be remembered by those who
take an interest in ex-King Milan's err
ratio career that couple of years ago
he and Queen Natalie were upon the
very verge of reconciliation when the
pretty picture was utterly spoiled by
the inopportune discovery by Natalie
that her remarkable husband had just
set up an independent establishment in
Paris. The discovery reopened the
breach between the royal couple, and
the general impression seems to be that
further attempts at reconciliation
would be hopeless, owing TO the com
plete impos>ioility Of trusting Milan's
profession Of penitepce. Now, how
ever, that it is necessary for Alexan-
der's personal interests to bring his
parents together, he resolved TO take
matters in hand. Fortunately for the
success Of his plans Milan is in one OF
his neediest periods, and Alexander Is
we'll aware OF that fact. No reconclha
ton, no money, is the situation. AK
ander went to Linz last week and took
back his father with bin to Vienna,
where the pair still are. Nobody seems
20 know where Natalie is just now, bur
it is hoped to induce her, for her sons
axe. TO proceed 70 Vienna before the
Se,vian New Year arc publicly take
.er husband back Then all fforis Will
ae concentrated upon the OH CT OF
k-tplog The alma ched couple TO-
.rtb,r until Alexander shsll have beer
lappily welded, after which Milan will
u perfectly at liberty to return to Paris
nd stay there.
