audience with the Emperor without re-
vealing her name, told him her story,
begging him to use his patriarchal
power to soften the heart of her father
in-law. Moved by her eloquence and
beauty he promised, and she then re-
vealed her identity. The Emperor kept
his word and pardoned his son, but in
sisted that the marriage be kept secret
The children We're excluded from the
privileges of the imperial family. In
the course of time Archduke Ferdinand
assembled the throne, and PHILIPPINE
Weber accompanied him, wherever he
went until he died. She was rever-
enced as a saint for her good works.
Archduke Johann found his fate in
the daughter of an innkeeper who, dis
guised as a boy, drove him to an adj
joining town, chatting him unmerciful-
ly when he told her he was an arch
duke, and being chaffed in return for
passing herself off as a boy. He made
love to Anna Plochl
At the cost of being barred from
court and being forced to live in re-
tirement Archduke Johann gained the
consent of Emperor Francis l to a
morganatic marriage. When Emperor
Ferdinand assembled to the throne in
1885 Archduke Johann was restored to
favor and his wife, created the Coun-
tess of Morgan, became a great social
favorite. 1t was happy marriage.
Johann Orth's Marriage.
There is no finer romance in history
than that of Archduke John and Milly,
Stubel, a dancer in the opera, but a
respectable girl of unblemished reputa-
ton. He met her while he was hunt
ing and she and her parents were pic
nicking in the woods. For long time
he made love to her as Johann Orth,
engineer, of Vienna. She discovered
his rank while he was reviewing the
troops as a field marshal.
Emperor Francis Joseph had tried to
stop his nephew's love- making. Crown
Prince Rudolph begged Archduke
John, his intimate friend, to give up
Milly Stubel. He refused.
He beseeched the Emperor to permit
him to marry the dancer but in vain.
There was a bitter quarrel Archduke
After the tragic death of the Crown
Prince Rudolph there was a reconcilia-
ton, but the Archduke was not re-
stored to his place in the army.
Then he applied to the Emperor for
permission to give up his rank and
assume the name of Johann Ortiz. This
was granted on condition that he re-
nounce Austrian citizenship. He mar
ried Milly Stubel and bought the sail
ing ship Saint Margaretha. Some
where in the South Atlantic the ship
was lost in 1890 with Johann Orth. Mil
ly Stubel and all on board. He was
then SS years old.

The clerk seemed very sorry and

they bled him. the next they gave him

Americans don't say much about it
pressed with certain styles which the
fashion papers and our dressmakers
say are quite English'-that is, in
America, YOU understand. So when
we were preparing to come to Europe
this summer, Katheryn and !, we wore
bare.
In America the things you buy at
the small places cost more than at the
big ones, so we started out to find the
big ones in London. But the only
stores we could find were two or three
stories high-you could put about a
dozen of them in one corner of Sic
gel, Cooper & Co., or 1.-The Fair" or
any of the big department houses in
New York or Chicago.
There We're hosts of women stream
ing in and out, but at first we thought
they must be all French. In the whole
week of watching we didn't see one
tailor gown, which we had had drum
med into us by our tailors as 80 cor

wore French heels. and as for high
collars-well, they weren't there at all
Such transparency transparent Jokes
we never expected to see even in Paris,
and where the collars ought to be-

These things put us rather out of
gear, so far as our plans for shopping
in London were concerned, but we
decided to buy some things anyway
One day we thought we had at last
discovered a big store. There was an
elevator and a. book department and
barber shop, quite like New York,
although we didn't discover the meat
department.

didn't mean that: he meant that the
