ton that IL was Bella who civilized and
Chrlstianized the wild ancestors of
Count Laszlo. AT any rate. according
TO this genealogy, the brides forbears
were kings of Hungary when the
eroom's ancestors were only men-at-
arms.
Coming down to more recent times
Il appears that in the matter OF titles,
at least. the groom's family has some
what the best Of 1t. The men OF the
szechenyi family have borne the title
Of count for at least 800 years. That

about the peace between Emperor Fer

Laszlo's great-uncle. Istvan (Stephen)

the Great. He founded the famous
Hungarian institution For Intellectual
Research, recognized as the most in

At the present time, as In the past,
the S~zechenyis are extensive landown-
ers. 1t has been estimated that Count
Laszlo Is worth at the least S3.OOO,OO0.
while in time he will come into posses
sion of a still greater estate. He has
an income of something like 100000
and Is reputed TO be anything but a
spendthrift. His economical ideas

subway-that Is the newest
route between the two great
horoughs of New York city.
The old New York. now known as
Manhattan borough, and the FORMER
City of Churches form the two main

the consolidation. But there are now
two bridges over the river and three
more i'm course of construction, and
two tunnels under the river have been
completed. The first to be finished
was the Belmont tunnel, from Forty
second street, Manhattan, to Long Is
land City, and cars were run through
this tube last autumn. But no system
of interborough rapid transit by this
tunnel has yet been established. The

the Battery tunnel. as 1t Is called, Is
the first to give underriver transporta-
ton between Manhattan and Brook
lyn boroughs. Its opening has been
long and more or less impatiently
awaited, and the difficulties met with
in the construction of a tube under so
large a body of water as the East river
have necessitated the postponement
several times of the date for starting
trains for the general public. Never
theless II is the first among the many
tunnels constructed from Manhattan
Island to Long Island and New Jersey
to be ready for use In the expansion Of
New York's transit facilities.
The Battery tunnel was begun owe
four years ago, and the first train was
run through the tube with a party OF
city officials and others specially In
vited for the occasion on Nov. %, 1907.
For the present the trains to be op-
Grated for the accommodation OF the
general public Will be run through only
one of the two parallel tubes consti

other viii be used for rapid transit
and then the service will be more FIRE
quent. From the station at Bowling
Green, Manhattan, to the station at
Borough hall, Brooklyn, Is a distance
of one and sixteenth miles. Five min
utes are allowed for the trip, though II
can be made a little under this time.
The Battery tunnel forms a branch OF
the big subway now extending the
length of Manhattan Island and into
the borough of the Bronx. The Brook
Ign subway is completed now only as
far as the borough hall, the present
Brooklyn terminus, but In a few
months 1t will be finished as far as
the Flatbush avenue station of the
Long Island railroad, where connec

and the suburbs In which so many
commuters dwell.

derbilt and which was said to have Oh
tanned but two words, "Laszlo-G Gladys"
and to have cost him so cents. His
principal residence Is the castle of Or
mezo, situated amid wild and romantic
scenery. While it may not compare in
elegance with The Breakers at New
port or the splendid Vanderbilt town
house at Fifth went and F~ifty-eighth
street, New York, the scene of the
nuptials, 1t will be likely to possess spe-
cial fascination for the young bride by
reason Of its romantic surroundings
and historic associations.
The count, who Is twenty-eight and
rather dashing In appearance. fought q
duel about three years ago with Aurel
Batonyi. who married Mrs, Burke
Roche and has recently been sued by
her for divorce. The counts life at
his castle Of Ormezo is said to have
been q simple and sedate one. and 1t
Is predicted he will prove a loyal and
devoted husband. thus doing some
thing toward eounteracting the pre-
vailing prejudice against international
marriages. The castle Of Ormezo was
erected in the fifteenth century and
rises from the top of a crag In the
mountainous county Of Zempler, a ten
hours trip from the Hungarian CAPT
tai. The count Is a hereditary member
of the Hungarian parliament and has
the right to wear as part OF his cou
uniform as an imperial chamberlain a
golden key or tassel at the back OF
his coat. Little things like this often
count with a romantic girl OF twenty
one, the age which the bride reached
last summer, when she came into her
fortune.
It was a charity worker Of New York
who, in speaking Of the Szechenyi-
Vanderbilt nuptials, saidi
