w~ choosing her husband from the
- circle of royalty, Princess Olga
Elizabeth of Saxe-Altenburg has
sprung surprise on her noble
family ana the "neighbors." Count
Karl Friedrich Won Puckler, who Is at
the head of the Silesian family or tnat
name. has fallen heir to the affections
of Princess Olga, and the wedding VIII
be held within the next few weeks az
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- wears OF age. and, like all Drin-
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. 1t was ex-
pected that she would. Several times
she threatened to become the wife OF
a man lacking her own quality OF
blood. She took part in quite num-
Der of escapades in which she was as
sisted by young men in a 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 ne
has been happily disappointed.
Big Wedding Celebration Planned.
1t 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-
tial vows are taken. It is SO unusual
f3r the Family Of Saxony to become
related to royal blood that 1t Is felt q
celebration is due. This is not be-
cause the family of Saxony has rot
been able to marry better. No. indeed
It has been a popular belief among
the young folk of the house that IL
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 Puckier
Is some count. He is sportsman OF
renown. and favorite among the
young men of his class. He is an attn
lete 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.

bat. 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
fancee has been besieged 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 a discreet silence,
but intimates that same day 1t will all
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.
He has gladly given his blessing to
the lovers, and vows that he will do
something handsome for them when
his daughter becomes Mrs Count. A
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 I'm
honor of the Princess Olga before the
marriage is celebrated. These are
expected to rival any that have been
given In the interior Of the continent
and while they viii be small they
will be choice In quality. The larg-
est will probably be given by the kali
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
young people.
