ASY "CONVENT' LIFE FOR
AUSTRIAN GRAND DANES
Aa Has Been
rec

tinguished looking, with face which
features than that of any other arch
duchess. AS a spinster she would not
be eligible to preside over the imperial
court. but as abbess of the Convent for
Noble Ladies at Prague, she is qualified
for the dignity and ranks as a married
archduchess. She became the abbess
in 1893, Succeeding her half-sister the
Archduchess Maria Sophia, who in that
year became the wife of Duke Albert
OF Wurtemberg.
The convent is one OF the most fam
Gus in Europe and to belong to 1t is
high and greatly coveted distinction.
1t was founded by the great Empress
Maria Theresa in 1855 for the daughters
of the highest aristocracy. The men,
bers must have at least 16 ancestral
quarterings and are nominated only by
the emperor. The convent is built on a
high emnence overlooking the ancient
city of Prague where stand the cathe-
dral and Hradschin or royal palace of
the old kings of Bohemia. II would be
hard to find more beautiful position.
EACH LIVES IN PRIVATE.
Each convent lady has her own
apartments. consisting of two rooms
and n kitchen and her own servants to
wait on her. besides an annual allow
ance of about $1,000 in addition TO
whatever means she may possess. AS
ceticism finds no place within its walls
The establishment is kept up like a
royal palace. Handsome carriages and
horses with livcrled coachmen and
footmen are placed freely at the dis
posal OF the noble sisterhood. A box
AT the opera is always reserved FOR
them. The freest association with the
outer world is allowed them. They can
come ana go as they choose, They can
reside within the convent as much or as
little as they please. The religious du-
ties imposed on them are OF the highest
character. They are required to sing
In the choir and attend a certain num-
Der of church services. On the annual
feast day OF the convent they have to
take part IN q long and somewhat to-
dious ceremonial. But as compensation
the day concludes for them with gala
performance Al the opera. In the con-
vent they wear a black dress with a
train bordered with ermine. and for
headgear a long white veil flowing from
Mary stuart type OF cap. Outside they

son of the Abbess of the Con-
vent for Noble Ladies, Archduchess
Maria Annunciata, who succeeds her
sister-in-law, the Archduchess Maria
and first lady in the empire Through
the death of Archduke OTTO his widow.
Maria Josepha was compelled to re-
linquish her high position at court and
II became necessary to choose another
archduchess to I'LL the place which
press were she living.
To make selection was somewhat
embarrassing. as half a dozen arch
cuchesses were available Among them

but she did not care to leave her
charming home at Salzburg as much as
would be necessary We're she to preside
over the Vienna court. And so. after
much delay, the old emperor selected
his niece, Archduchess Maria Annun-
ciata, for the high and responsible dig
nifty.
NO EASY MATTER.
1t is no light or easy matter to stand
at the head of the Austrian court.
There are many duties to be performed
which call for ability and tact and
graciousness I'm no common measure.
Maria Annunciata VIII be virtually a
deputy empress. She will have to re-
ceive the visiting royalties and take the
most prominent part in all court func-
tons, receptions, balls and banquets.
At court balls, she sits upon a crimson
sofa placed on n raised dais at the
top of the ballroom. Here she receives
the wives of ambassadors and minis
tiers and few highly favored ladies' of
the Austrian and Hungarian aristoc-
racy. They are brought up to her by
lady-in- waiting, one at a time, and
after sitting on the red sofa for about
two minutes trying to look supremely
happy and making u few polite obser-
vations. they retire into the crowd and
make room for somebody else.

QUEER ORDEAL FOR
AUSTRIAN POSTAL OFFICIALS
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
Y JENNA, Jan. 2.-Scores OF postal
officials in the head office here
" We're given n curious task the
other day. Each had to write on
a slip OF paper the words "Halmen-
horst and "Chlumes" once with a
blue pencil and once with black. Then
all the papers We're collected together
and carried off to a higher official. All
this was because two newspapers for
the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. the
heir to the throne. had been sent TO
these two places instead of being deliv-
cred al The Belvedere palace In Viennt.
The archduke complained of the mis-
take and requested that the culprit
should be punished. And so In order to
ascertain whose mistake II was all the
officials handling newspapers We're or
iered to write the two places down
so that through the identification OF the
handwriting the author of the mistake
might be detected.
The amusing part OF It was that II
was all in vain and the authorities
failed to discover who sent his highness'
papers astray.

A MAGNIFICENT SUITE.

GAN uieSs DIS tnty please.
A MAGNIFICENT SUITE.
AS head of this ancient and noble
foundation the archduchess enjoys a
magnificent suite of apartments and
yearly income of between $4,000 and
$4,000. Such a plum as this Is invar-
lably reserved for a member of the I'M
perial family and there is always an
archduchess ready to take It when a
vacancy occurs. And as the abbess and
all the other noble ladies of this clois-
ter are free to marry and depart from
its walls whenever they choose, vacan-
cies are most frequent and unexpected
than In ordinary religious houses.
In her magnificent ermine trimmed
ecclesiastical robes the abbess presents
an imposing sight. on the middle fin
ger of her righl .and she wears an epis-
copal ring and her headdress studded
with precious stones and dating from
1858 is splendid memorial of the Re
naissance period. She carries a bish-
ops crozIer made by the order Of
King Wenceslaus II. and bearing the
date 1903, a very rare and precious
specimen OF medieval goldsmiths'
work.
AT THE CORONATION.
Among the special privileges enjoyed
by the abbess is that of standing at
the right hand of the empress at the
coronation in the cathedral and herself
placing the Bohemian crown upon the
empress's head. Her selection as first

Marriage Is about the only thing that
would disqualify her for the office and

and dignitles, 1t is on that account,
perhaps, that although 30, she has never
