part During the last three or four
years matches which the king was TO

many cases the servian press even going
70 far rs to discuss their pros and cons.
but somehow nothing ever came OF these
plans. The idea OF turning matchmaker
for HIS son seems TO have occurred to
King Milan first a few years ago. when
he heard OF an intended attempt to Kill
his successor, which suggested to him
the urgent necessity Of securing heir

It il true that at first Queen Natalie
was opposed to these attempts. since
she feared that there would be no more
room for her at the Belgrade Konak were

relations with Austria were good. he an

princess OF the house Of Hapsburg for
