Ex-oueen Also a Catholic.

The eX-uueen is also a Catholic. Both
the king and queen were born and bap-
tized in that faith and were confirmed in
childhood. Their marriage was perform
ed by a Catholic priest and the church
has refused to recognize the divorce, not
withstanding the powerful influences
which the Saxon king has been able to
bring to bear upon the Vatican. There
fore, in the eyes of all orthodox Catholic
subjects Of Saxony Louise is still their
legitimate queen.
The reason for the divorce was the
elopement of the queen with Prof. Andre
Giron, the tutor Of her sons. Giron is a
Belgian of ability and personal charm,
several years younger than the ex-queen.
He lived in the palace, was familiar
member OF the family. and took advan-
tage Of this intimacy to make love to his
pupils mother. She became so infatu-
ated with him as to consent to an elope-
ment December Il. 1902. The couple fed
from Dresden and lived under fictitious
names in villa at Lindau on the Lake
Of Constance. Switzerland, where a
daughter was born to Marie Louise
to persuade her to leave her lover. but
she seems to have been hypnotized by
him. and the divorce was granted with
the consent and approval of the Emperor
head Of her family. He deprived her
of all her titles, privileges and preroga-
tives as a princess of the Austrian en-
pire January p, 1903. two weeks before
the decree was announced, and, although
he Is a strict Catholic, he has recognized
it formally.
The fugitive queen had many loyal
friends who believed at the time. and are
still convinced, that she was non cOmpos
mentis when she eloped with Giron, and
was not responsible for her conduct. Her
dementia was ascribed to her delicate
condition, and several Austrian, Saxon
and Swiss alienists were willing to certify

father-in-law, the late King of Saxony,
because they did not surround her with
proper care and protection, and discover
her infatuation for the tutor before the

Wanted Queen Recalled.

These good people, after her sixth child
was born, circulated petitions eutreating
the king to recall his wife, and to have
the decree of divorce revoked in order
that she might take her place beside him
upon the throne. Hundreds Of thousands
OF signatures. mostly those Of women,
were obtained. when the movement was
brought to a sudden termination by the
publication in the Official gazette at Ores

ess Montignosco had been bestowed upon
her by the Saxon court. This proclamation
ehectually put a stop to all efforts to
bring about a reconciliation, but it had no
effect at the Vatican.
The ex-Queen lived with Giron but a
short time. He soon became tired of her
and deserted her when he discovered that
her income would be too small to crafty
his tastes. After wandering about as
an adventures for several years in Eng
land, France and Switzerland, Marie
Louise became the mistress Of Enrico Tos-
