divergent lines that there is little or

Clementine, is the widowed crown
princess of Austria. The mother of
these women, Queen Marie Henriette,
is the daughter of the late Archduke
Joseph of Austria.
Belgium's fair candidate for the
veil is one of the most charming of
royal girls. She is noted for her hui
name disposition and for her fond
ness for animals. Her favorite pet is
a small and very white woolly dog,
which is the constant companion of
her drives and promenades. Visitors
to the royal household of Belgium
have been compelled, willy nilly, to
break bread with this dog, whose de-
voted mistress must have its COM
pany at table. The dogs seat is be-
TWEEN those of the queen and the
princess.
Clementine not long ago was be-
trothed, or was said to have been be-
trothed, to Prince Albert of Flanders,
who paid visit TO America not long
since. She was also said to have
been engaged to Prince Ferdinand OF
Bulgaria, but all of these stories now
turn out to have been mere gossip.
1t is said that the young woman has
irrevocably made up her mind to be-
come a nun.
