A ROMANCE OF ROYALTY.

y NJ NJ ANIL OT nv AL
The great original on which the story
of the Empress of Austria is founded is
the delightful old story of Cinderella.
She was the younger sister, snubbed,
suppressed, kept in the background
and in short irocks, but when the Fairy
Prince came along she romped in, an
easy winner.
Elizabeth Amelia Eugenia was her
full name. She was princess of u
branch of the house of Bavaria, cousin
of the unfortunate King Ludwig, and
was brought up very quietly indeed.
The residence was at the castle Sssen-
hofen, on the Lake of Starnberg. and
they used to spend their summers at
Ischl, in the Austrian Alps. And here
it was that the little girl had her love
story.
She was still quite younger-only six.
teen years of age. No lovers had as
yet sought her hand. All that she
knew of romance she knew from her
sister, Helen, who from childhood had
been affisnced to Francis Joseph EN-
peror of Austria and King of Hungary,
and had been most carefully trained
aud educated to make worthy consort
for him. But Helen was to be cut out
by Ehzabeth-the Cinderella of the Ba-
varian house.
Francis Joseph was that year at
Ischl, and when his mother, the Arch
duchess Sophia, was giving ball he in
sisted that Elizabeth, of whom he had
caught passing glimpses in the streets
Of Isch, should receive an invitation.
But Elizabeth is not yet out" pro-
tested her mother, the Duchess Louise.
"Then let her come out" replied the
ardent young Emperor.
"But she didn't expect any invita-
tions, and she's got nothing to wear"
said her mother in alarm.
"No matter" said the Emperor, "let
her come in the simplest of dresses,
with rose in her hair, and she will be
the queen of the feast"
so Cinderella was brought out at the
Emperor's command, and the Emper
or outraged the proprieties and danced
with her all the evening. He also gave
her broad hints of the state of his af
iections.
When tea was being served, for ex-
ample, he led her to table on which
lay an album containing pictures Of
The various national costumes to be
found in the eighteen States of Austria.
"There," he said, these are my sub
jects. l wonder whether you would
like them to be your subjects too ?"
And at that point history records
that they squeezed each others hands
under the table.
Helen, the Tilted sister, was heart
broken, though she bore up bravely,
aud appeared to rejoice in Cinderella's
better fortune. For long time she
remained unmarried, but, having her
other sisters welded one after the 9th
er to the King of Naples, the Count de
Trani and the Due d'Alencon, she
finally bestowed her hand upon the
Prince OF Thurn and Taxis.
