The viii of the late Empress of Austria
brings to light a romance of the royal
court that had long been forgotten. Five
years ago the Empress favorite grand
daughter, Princess Elizabeth. the eldest
daughter of Prince Leopold of Bavaria
and the Archduchess Gisela of Austria,
eloped with a young officer In the Bava-
rian army. Lieut.. Seefried. who was both
penniless and plebian. Ii was a case OF
love at first sight for both, and this mod
ern Romeo and Juliet couple thought
neither Of rank nor royal blood. They
made no concealment Of their love, and
the young lieutenant boldly asked of
Prince Leopold and the old Emperor OF
Austria the hand of this beautiful princess
in marriage.
The Emperor Francis Joseph was horr-
fed at his granddaughter choice of a
penuiless and lowy born army officer for
a husband. Consent to their union was
emphatically refused. The upshot was that
the princess and the lieutenant eloped and
were married in Switzerland Lieut. See
fried was Immediately expelled from the
Bavarian army and Prince Leopold in his
wrath forbade the young couple to ever
cross the Bavarian frontier. The Empress
of Austria, however, who had a tender
heart and knew what love was, interceded
for her granddaughter.
Through her efforts Lieut.. Seefred was
admitted into the Austrian army and
created a baron, but both he and his wife
were rigidly excluded from the Austrian
and Bavarian courts Baron Seefrled and
the princess lived quietly and contentedly
in a small provincial town, where his reg
iment was quartered, and are regarded as
a model married couple
And now in her will the Empress has
shown that she had never forgotten the
youthful lovers. She begs the Emperor,
as a dying request, to use his influence on
behalf of Baron Seefried and his princess
wife. She further conveys an entreaty to
her own daughter, the Archduchess Gisela,
and her son -in-law, Prince Leopold of Ba-
vara, to extend fun pardon to their
daughter for her youthful indiscretion.
This appeal from the dead Empress has,
of course, met with a ready response.
Baron Seefried has been placed on the re-
tired list of the Austrian army by the
Emperor and given permission to return
to Bavaria with his wife. There he will
enter the German diplomatic service and
both viii take their proper rank as the
children of a royal family.
This is a story which will give many
useful hints 10 young wives and viii sound
a note of warning to Disconnected hus-
bands. The wedding day OF this young
couple was far enough In the distance
to show a decided linear perspective, and
the husband had come 10 know his wife
sufficiently well TO feel that, though she
might be very good little wife, she was
not the wingless angel he had at first
supposed her, and he was not always ex-
actly pleased with everything she did
Only little things, Of course. but knowing
that great oaks from little acorns grow,
he felt 1t his duty TO comment occasionally
upon these little shortcomings.
