A PRINCESS m A PLEASANT PRISON

Pitifu but highly sensational stories have been
circulated recently about the so-called mprison-
ment OF Princess Louise Of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha. II
is already known that. after having eloped with
Lieutenant Mattachich she was brought back 10
Vienna Austria by her lawyer. Or. Bachrach. and
confined in the sanitarium Of DIR. Rudinger under
the pretext Of incipient insanity The eccenricies
and rather wild conduct OF the Princess gave some
plausbility to that pretext Without recalling tho
Nfe she led during the last few years which caused
a due between the Prince. her husband, and the
too famous Lieutenant lately sentenced by court
martial TO six years in prison for forgery rev
facts will show that the mind Of Princess Louise
was somewhat abnormal or unbalanced. For In
stance whenever she went 10 Carlsbad, Nice OF
Cannes even for short time. she caused her own
furniture her horses etc. be transported there
She possessed boots and shoes by the hundred, ana
never undertook a voyage even Of a few days with
out providing herself with an assortment OF from
thirty to forty bonnets and hats. One Of her DIS
which had to be shown in court at recent lawsuit
amounted to $1,000 for corsets!
As to the so-called imprisonment of the Princess
II must be said that the sanltarium where she Is
now residing is located at PurkeTsdorff. one OF the
finest suburbs Of Vienna half an hours ride from
tho railroad station The Princess rises late, about
takes promenade for several hours, waking y,
driving in the company of a maid Oh hohor ana
and mill dinner time she takes singing lessons
and reads newspapers, but never occupies HeISe en-
her promenades she is allowed 10 converse with
persons met on the way, and she does it often
