? The Romance of FrauIen Bertha Krupp Gunmake

Krupp, who invited him to call at their
hotel The acquaintance progressed
famously, and the fortunate diplomat
soon became the Krupps' constant
companion on their excursions about
the Holy City.
The young people spent many happy
hours together. and before leaving
Italy Frau Krupp invited Won BohIen-
Halbach to visit them at Essen He
accepted with alacrity and soon made
his appearance at the Villa Huegel, the
palatial home of the Krupps near E's-
sen. It seems not to have occurred to
the estimab1e Frau Krupp that there
was any danger to be apprehended
from the companionship of this agree
able young man. It is said that It was
a great shock to the unsuspectfng Wo-
man to learn that the interesting guest
had chosen her for his mother-in-law.
But the owner of 1893 shares in
the mammoth gun works at Essen,
Kiel, Magdebufg and elsewhere, the
value Of which is more than 100000
600, laughed at all apparent obstacles.
It deadened the sting of her fathers
disappointment over the nonappear-
ance of male heir to his riches to
discover that his elder daughter had
the will Of a man. That win now de-
elined to be Influenced by family wishes
and was unmoved even by the dis
pleasure Of the nations imperial war
lord and matchmaker.
For the rest, Fraulein Krupp, now in
her twenty second year, has proved
herself to be an unusually shrewd ana
sensible Young woman. She knows
how to keep her vast interests in good
running order, and she gives personal
attentics 20. the details Of her business

also at the second one, in the City Of
Mexico. in 1901. Few Of the conclu-
sions reached by either congress were

She might have married a prince.
There are at least a dozen sure
enough princes in the German empire,
any one of whom she might have had
for the choosing. and had she hesi-
tated the kaiser would have made the
selection gladly. But this young girl
who has comprehended such thing as
poverty only in its most abstract form
did not, it appears, look upon a prince
as an especial luxury.
She may have inherited her indiffer-
ence for social distinction. Her father
was so markedly obtuse to the desir-
ability of rank that he declined per-
sistently the emperor's offers to make
him baron, with a promise of further
ennoblement. The famous gunmaker
was as proud of simple "Krupp of Es-
SEN as is Wilhelm Of his "divineIy be-
slowed" title of kaiser" The rather
empty honor of baron which was so
frequently thrust on him. but excited
his contempt. and the loftier dignity of

his case. did not tempt him.

tent to bear no title other than the one
conferred on her by the host OF 40, 900

This is the young woman who has
rejected princes and cadets of royal
lineage, who has turned a deaf ear to
the proposals of financiers and the en-
treaties of statesmen and has given her
heart and her hand-and the $4,000, 900
a year that goes with them-to a penni-
less diplomat with nothing but his
twelfth century pedigree and his good
looks to recommend him. His name is
Gustavus Won Bohlen-H albach, and he
is the secretary of the German legation
at the Vatican. He was born in Hol-
land, his father being minister from
Baden at the time. The family is an
old one and is reputed to have consid-
cradle property in Baden and also in
America Gustavus was educated at
Heidelberg and after graduation he
travelled extensively. coming to the
United States. Several years after
ward he came again to America as
secretary of the German legation.
He proved to be good diplomat, and
he was sent to China to be secretary OF
the international conference to arrange
peace terms. This was in 1900, and
when he returned he was given the po-
sition of first secretary of the legation
to the holy see, which is one Of the

telectual and moral advancement is
more apil. They are coming to know
that diplomacy without intrigue brings
more desirable, safer and more lasting
results.
More important to the United States
and with wide bearing on its own af-
fairs, is the fact that the Central and
South American republics are learning
not to distrust Uncle Sam. True. the con

unprogressive faction of the aristocra-

waning more every day. Our neigh
