as the countess of Montignoso, was 10
visit the same district.
The meeting was to take place as

not transpired, but influenced no doubt
court. refused to consent to the plan.
As, however, all the arrangements
had been made. the crown prince de-

But in order to prevent any meeting
the king of SaXony arranged for the
entire length of the railway between
Oderberg and kassa to be closely

agents well acquainted with the crown
princess appearance.
If she is seen she will be advised to

of the scenery. and will not be allowed

each of the children's rooms is por-
trait of their mother, on which has
been written the words, "Meine liebe
Mama" (My dear mamma.l
From one of the princes dependents
the correspondent learned that every
evening the crown prince and his chill
dren kneel together in front of the
princess photograph, and the little
ones repeat after him the following
simple prayer: "Lieber Colt, gieb uns

give us back our mama.)
