..Morganutic" Marriages.

There seems d misrepresentation IN the
popular mind as 10 the meaning OF NOR
ganauc marriages with royalty In Eu-
rope. A morgauatic wife to-day is as
regularly married and the bond IS as in
dissoIubIe as any other. The term means
only that the wife and her children do
not take the rank OF the husband and
father Nevertheless. the Institution is
surviving anachronism. For this reason
there need be no surprise because the
German Emperor has shown the same
courtesy 10 the morsanatc wife Of the
Austro-Hungarisn Grand Duke Francis
Ferdinand that he would have done had
she shared his full rank This incident is
chiefly interesting as showing the power
ful hold which caste stiu has upon the
society or the Old World. bat the eXpla-
nation of the surprise manifested at the
incident at the dinner party AZ Potsdam
lies deeper than the mere difference In
worldly rank between the Austrian heir
apparent and his wife. The incident and
its explanation may serve 10 clarity mis-
understanding.
