1t Is true that when Miss Gladys Van.
derbilt. heiress OF more than S12.-
600. 900 OF the Vanderbilt millions, mar
ries Count Lasblo szechen.i. her AUS
trian nobleman, she will not be recoS-
nized at the Austrian court7
Is It a fact that the Austrian nobii-
fly will hold the American beauty. even
as the wife OF the count. as no better
than daughter OF one OF their own
middle class?
Must the children OF the union re
main for sixteen generations outside
The eligibility pale because the mobiles

before she becomes "lloffahig. or
eligible to appear In the Austrian
royal society So far as she herself Is
concerned. unless the Austrian En-
persr condescends to make an excep-
ton In her case. she might as well
marry a prince OF the Fill Islands. for
the social notice she will rec i've.
That is what the American nation
through publications of Szechenyi gen.
ealogists. have been led to believe. The
flattering history Of tho Sz cheny,
family has been held up in bright
lights. The count has been depleted
as demeanlng his blood by an alliance
with the American mtilionairess. He
has stepped down from the footstooI vi
tn throne to take the hand and for
tune OF the unancestored Gladys Van
derbiit, American girl.
Large amou., OF ink have been
used to show to the world. and espe-
cially to Amer cans. that the proposed
marriage OF Count Szechenyi and Miss
Vanderbilt is all for love. He has been
pictured as renouncing brilliant court
future for the IKE OF his attach
ment.

80 much Of royal blood In her

is shown, can hardly have more than
what was left over after the line OF
which she lis direct descendant was
formed.
But OF a.. the statements WHICH he
max s, there as one wlach cannot but
make the szechenyi family grit their
teeth In chagrin.
He says that centuries ago, when
the Szechenyi we're unknown, years
before thny received the royal favor
which has made them so "illustrious, :
an ancestor of Miss Vanderbilt. King
Bella, ruled the Hungarian nation, IF
which the Szechenyi in those days
were but an Insignificant part-and
that some time before another ances-
tor. King Otto, OF tn, Germans, whipped
Szechenyi were also part-and
taught them their place in The roll
OF peoples.
Miss vanderbilt's blue blood comes
from her mother. Alice Claypooie
Gwynne. of Philadelphia, who mar
ri I'd Cornelius Vanderbilt In 1870.
Miss Gladys Vanderbilt is twenty
sixth in lineal descent from the found
er of the Hungarian nation. King Bella.
and from the German Emperor. Otto
the Great, who put sudden stop 10
the marauding of the Iawless. Wild
Magyar clan. of which the So chenyi
trib was a part, on the northern and
eastern borders of the Roman empire.
1t is truly far cry back to the
Middle Ages. but as gelealogists OF
the present Szechenyi family have
started 1t and have tried to make plain
Arm ,nians think them OF more dis
tinguished ancestry" than Miss Gladys
or her kin. 1t was high time to have
