yA Y choosing her husband from the
~ circle of royalty. Princess Olga
7 \ D Elizabeth of Saxe-Altenburg has
sprung a surprise on her noble
family and the 'neighbors." Count
Karl Friedrich Won Puckler. who Is at
the head of the Silesian family Of that
4 name, has fallen heir to the affections
of Princess Olga and the wedding Will
be held within the next few weeks at
the castle of Saxe-Altenburg at Al
brechtsberg, near Dresden.
Princess Olga is the eldest daughter
of Prince Albert of Saxe-Altenburg,
whose family is branch OF the royal
family Of Saxony She Is twenty-sev-
en- years of age, and, like all prin-
cesses, is beautiful and accomplished.
Had Princess Olga followed tradi-
ton and done as many others OF the
'Saxony clan did. she would have mar
ried below her station It was ex-
pected that she would. Several times
she threatened to become the wire or
man lacking her own quality OIL
blood. She took part in quite a num-
Der of escapades in which she was as
sisted by young men in different
class, but high grade in their own de
partment. Prince Albert expected
any minute to hear that his beloved
daughter had become Mrs. John Jones
(nee Princess Olga Elizabeth), but he
has been happily disappointed.
Big Wedding Celebration Planned.
It is believed possible that just be-
cause she has pleased her noble father
and cast her lot with another royal
parsonage there will be something OF
notable celebration when the nup-
tiaI VOWS are taken. It is so unusual
for the family Of Saxony to become
related to royal blood that II is felt a
celebration is due, This Is not be-
cause the family of Saxony has not
been able to marry better. No, indeed.
II has been a popular belief among
the young folk OF the house that 1t
was more romantic to marry "low.~
People unacquainted with royal stan
dards would consider that the mem
bers Of the Saxony family had mar
ried anything but 'low."
Count Karl Friedrich Won Puckler
is some count. He is a sportsman of
renown and a favorite among the
young men of his class. He is an ath'
iete of distinction; a horseman, hunt
err. swimmer, ct cetera. Ever since he
took to his own feet he has been
identified with some athletic competi-
ton, and invariable he has made good.
He Is considered handsome and a
veritable wizard among the women.
Just when the princess and the
count decided to surprise the CONT
nent is not known. They were thrown
together a good deal last summer,
but, as far as royalty was aware, had
been widely separated ever since, and
there was no evidence in the mean
time to show that the present affec-
ton was blooming. The blushing
nancee has been besleged with ques-
tions as to the evolution of her royal
romance, but she has declined to
speak for publication The count as
well is maintaining discreet silence,
but intimates that same day it will all
7 come out.
. Lovers Blessed by Prince Albert.
Prince Albert in the meantime is a
happy noble. He never realized that
: his daughter would do him SO proud.
S He has gladly given his blessing to
. the lovers, and VOWS that he will do
something handsome for them when
I his daughter becomes Mrs. Count. A
e good deal Of the princes estate has
been dissipated, but he has enough
left so that he and those around him
can live In comfort for the rest OF
their days.
Several court fetes will be given in
r honor of the Princess Olga before the
v marriage is celebrated. These are
expected to rival any that have been
, given in the interior of the continent
n and while they Will be small they
O will be choice in quality The larg
est vii; probably be given by the kai
ser himself, who has likewise ex
= pressed satisfaction with the plans as
they have thus far progressed. He de
:, clares he will do all he can to con
tribute toward the happiness OF the
i young people.
