She and Princess Maud, now queen OF
Norway, used both to take the name
of Miss 'So-and-So' and go about Wis
iting their companions. We were in
Austria just at the time when one OF
the Austrian grand dukes was about
to make one of the romantic love
wanting to make, and we also saw
some beautiful ceremonies and attend
ed some or the charming entertain
ments given at the time of the emper-
or's birthday; so altogether this is the
way the story came to US, and of
course it isn't half as romantic as the
real story of the old emperor's love and
courtshfp, when he met his poor, beau
tiful, murdered empress. Now for
the hero. He came to US in this fash

camp or two, or did a few years ago,
and at one time he had a rather won

described in the book, but the Princess
Vtrginia's hut was exactly like one in
the mountains of the Tyrol belonging
to one of the Austrian noblemen, and
we had lunch there. but there wasn't
quite such a scramble to reach it as
that which is in the story"
