eyebrows are prettiIy arched. Her teeth
are fine, her mouth large, but we'll cut. She
has the true Hapsburg neither lip. rather
fine, protruding-the under lip that has
been the Hapsburg family's distinguishing
mark for centuries. Her masses of dark
hair are always dressed in heavy plaits
wound round and round the back of her
head and resting on her well-molded neck.
Although the mother of four children, her
figure is perfect. She is graceful and al
ways stylishly dressed and, though her
enemies say she has the manners of peas
ant, and, in truth, she is democratic she
attires herself like the true aristocrat. New

SHE SHOCKED THE COURT.
A cablegram from Dresden says: During
the first years of their married life the
crown prince passionately loved his beauti-
full young wife, and always wore over his
heart her miniature framed i'm rubies. Both
were intensely fond of the children, which
were born to them in quick succession. The
| crown princess has always been devoted to
| children, and she gave much of her energy
| TO planning parties, treats and excursions
| into the country for the little ones of the
court. Before such occasions she has re-
manned up nearly all night preparing gifts
with her own hands. AS her fear of the
| King and Queen and of the austere prin-
| cesses gradually wore off, Louise grew out
| side the restraints of court life. Immedi-
| ately she fell into deeper disfavor I'm
| daunted, she went the way she had chosen.
| At the court balls she danced with the
| handsomest of courtiers, irrespective of
| their rank. She would turn her well-round-
| ed shoulder on veteran whom her father
| in-law delighted to honor and choose for a
| partner the best-looking sublieutenant
| 'She delighted in dancing, and enjoyed
| herself with such abandonment that once.
| three years ago, King Albert ordered the
| musicians to cease playing. Then he and
| wife and family, vastly shocked, swept
| from the ballroom. This delighted her
| many enemies, and, indeed, The incident
seems to have been the turning point from
whence she descended to Andre Giron. She
had been publicly insulted. Forthwith she
| threw all the conventions to the winds and
governed her conduct only by her wishes.
She outraged etiquette by taking long walks
alone, she went shopping unaccompanied
| by a lady in waiting or even a maid. She
ran up bills for gowns and millinery in
Dresden. Vienna and Paris. Her extrav-
| agance further alienated her from her IA
ther-in-law and his encourage. Her hus-
band implored her to be more dignified, but
| she became more and more reckless"
OTHER TRAGIC LOVE AFFAIRS.

has, in recent years, startled the courts OF
