GOETHE'S LAST LOVE.

ana Sull Chcrishcs His
Memory.

AS G7 years have elapsed since
Goethe's death, very few persons now
living can have seen him in the flesh.
Baroness Ulrike Won Levetzow, how
ever, who has just kept her ninety-fifth
birthday at Triblitz. in Bohemia, not
merely knew the poet, but was even
privileged to stir the last embcrs of the
tender passion in his susceptible
though aged breast.
In 1923. then lovely girl of 10, she
accompanied her mother to Marienbad,
where the author of Faust" was maxi
ing his annual cure.
Dazzled by her beauty, he succeeded
without difficulty in getting an intro
duction, and there ensued on his part
serious attachment, cordially recip-
rocated. it is said, by the lady herself.
Fear of ridicule prevented Goethe
contracting marriage of the May and
December type. He tore himself away,
writing the well-known "Marienbad
Elegy" in the post chaise that took him
back to Weimar.
Ulrike, having thus won the title of
"Goethe's last love-" remained salts
fed with this distinction for the rest
of her life, and is still "Freifraulein"
Won Levetzow, although her wealth and
beauty attracted many suitors. She
enjoys perfect health, and devotes her.

large estates.-London Chronicle.
