sympathetic response In the heart of
every American woman If her star had
reached it's zenith later in the century
her memory would have lived, perpetu-
ated by her sisters, not for the ambi-
tfous Empress, but for the high princi-
pie of genuine womanhood evidenced by
the good she did and the charities she
dispensed.
The childhood Of Carlotta was rem
dered serious with responsibilities and
tuition beyond her years. Her mother,
whom history has named the Holy
Queen" died when the little girl was
ten years Old and for several years the
dark cloud of mourning oVerShadowed
the palace. Court etiquette and queen
ly dignity, amounting to austerity,
were constantly instilled into her brain
and heart and made the deepest and
most lasting Impressions upon Carlot-
ta's childhood. While yet a child she
knew thoroughly the inviolate rules of
court precedence.
Her father educated her to be a
queen She was precocious, and un-
wisely he forced upon her responsible
ties far beyond her years. At seventeen
she was far In advance of her years liz
intelligence, and it was then that she
met her hero, Archduke Macmillan,
younger brother of Francis Joseph,
Emperor of Austria. He was tall and
fair and gentle, of military bearing and
spotless character, and eight years her
senior. It was a case of love at first
sight and in two months they were
married She, ambitious. energetic,
possessed of the executive force of
man; he weak, vacillating, trustful in
the goodness of men and idealized into
