EVI p. MORTON'S severe illness.
which may have terminated
- fatally ere this appears in print,
serves to recall tho extraordinary re-
semblance which used to exist some
ten or fifteen years ago between this
former Vice President of the United
States and ex Ambassador in France,
to the late Archduke Joseph of Aus
tria, father of the Duchess of Orleans
The archduke used to be amused by
the resemblance and frequently re-
ferred to the times when at French
races he had been taken for Mr.. Nor
ton. On the whole, Mr. Morton was
the better looking Of the two, and he
certainly had r. better tailor. There
WAS the same shrewd look I'm the eyes
OF both men. while in that OF the arch
duke there was something that gave
one the impression that he was afraid
of being taken in In both men, too,
there wac a pithiness of speech and
n simplicity of manner. Thus. the
archdukc always referred to his con-
sort as my WIFE, and not as the
hrchduchess CIothildc.
/ Archduke Joseph's title OF Palatine
of Hungary or viceroy. was purely
honorary. and had been shorn by the
1t. however, led the archdukc to spend
all his existence i'm Hungary. save
when travelling abroad. He usually
wintered at Budapest spent few
weeks on the Adriatic coast at Fiume.
where lie had considerable industrial
interests. and the remainder OF the
time at Alcsuth. his magnificent place
IN Hungary. He was the man of bust
ness of the HapsburS family, and
greatly assisted his cousin the Emper-
or. in the management of the colossal
family fortune OF the reigning house.
His wife, the Archduchess Clothiide
sinsularly handsome woman. was a
princess OF the house of SAKE Coburg,
granddaughter OF King Louis Phil
ippe of France, through her mother,
Clementine. and sister of King Fer
dinand of Bulgaria.

OF Arabella Churchill-has now Tilted

ly. the Hon Luke White eldest son
and heir OF Lord Annaly. Lady Vic
| toria's engagement to him was form
ally announced late last autumn, and
now she has broken 1t off. Being a
WIZ fascinating Siri ana extremely
popular, she has the right to change
her mind as often as she pIeascs. But
still q maiden with two fittings to her
credit is apt to find mon chary about
making an offer to her of their heart
their hand and their fortune.
Both of her ENHANCES were exceed
insly desirable parts from mat
rimonial point OF view. For the
Duke OF Santona is very rich indeed,
being the principal heir of all the
colossal fortune Of his multi million
aire grandfather, the old Duke OF Sala-
manca. The Duke OF Santona did not
Inherit his grandfather's title, owing
to the fact that his mJther was a
natural though favorite child. The
old duke had no issue by his legal
spouse, most disagrccable and un-
popular woman. He left everything
he possessed to his natural daughter 3
