ROYAL ROMANCE ENDED.
Announcement That Comes As a Dis
tinCt Shock to the Many Friends
of the Noted Couple.
(By Special Wire to the ARGUs.)

Berlin, July 27.-The announcement
the Grand Duke Cyril, eldest son of the
Grand Duke Vladimir, Of Russia, and
his wife, who was divorced from the
Grand Duke of desse, six years ago,
has come as a distinct shock to their
many friends. The couple have been
married about two years and have n
daughter. They have frequently been
mentioned as among the happiest royal
couples of Europe.
Their marriage, in October, 1905, was
the elimination of a Iove romance Of
many years duration. The Grand
Duchess Victoria Melita is a daughter
of the late Duke OF Edinburgh, brother
of King Edward. Cyril and Melita
were boy and girl lovers when both of
them were in their teens. There were
and Melita was compelled to become
the wife of her cousin, the Grand Duke
Ernest Louis of Hesse. The marriage
turned out to be extremely unhappy
and ended in divorce.
AS soon as the divorce had been an
nounced, Grand Duke Cyril, who had
carefully avoided the Hessian court
after Melita's marriage, Immediately
appeared at her maiden home in Co.
burg and renewed his ardent dec1ara-
ions of love, Melita hesitated to marry
again because this step would have
made it impossible for her, under the
terms of her divorce, ever to see her
only child, the little Princess Eliza
beth, to whom she was passionately at
tached. Princess Elizabeth, however,
who lived with her father, was poison
ed while visiting the Emperor and EN-
press of Russia. Her tragic death re-
moved Melita's scrupIes regarding re-
marriage, and she consented to become
Cyril's wife.
But there were other obstacles, among
them the prohibition of the Gar. Cy-
rl and Melita are first cousins and the
marriage Of relatives of this degree is
prohibited by the Russian state church.
When the marriage of the couple was
announced the Grand Duke Cyril was
Immediately summoned to Peterhof to
receive the full weight of the Cars dis
pleasure. He was deprived of his rank
aide-de-camp to the Emperor, Of his
commission in the army, of his uniform,
and other honors, and was excluded
from Russia.
But Cyril and Melita were indifer-
ent to the Cars displeasure. Far from
being hurt, they rejoiced IN being able
to live a tree, untrammeled life accord
ing to their own desires. It seemed to
friends that they had reached the
end of their troubles and vicissitudes,
and that, like hero and heroine in some
fairy tale, they would live happily ever
afterwards. Hence the general sur
prise occasioned this week by the an
nouncement that a divorce is contem-
plated. And it is learned, moreover,
that their differences began almost i'm
mediately after their wedding.
