Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1913-09-25


cation in March of this year.
Olive Huntington is young-she ts
not yet nineteen years old. She is
also petite and pretty. Dark, liquid
eyes CLEAN out of a face whose
creamy complexion Is the envy of all
who behold her. Add to these points
a wealth of brown hair, an attractive
manner and fund of wit. Then
place the owner of these charms in
group Of solid daughters of the
fatherland-a fatherland just then
frowning on an exiled son. Loyal
German as he was, Prince Joachim
can scarcely be blamed for preferring
the sparkling gem to its heavy set
ting. But Olive is more than beauti-
full. She is daring. Even royal
princes cannot overawe her, and this
particular royal prince had more than
one reason for delighting in her i'm
pertinent but witty comments on his
sedate courtrymen.
Many Claims to Admiration.
But Olive had still further attrac-
lions for the young exile. She dances
well, and Prince Joachim likes dane
ing. Moreover, she plays tennis, and
every one knows the story of how
the kaiser's third son lost his heart
and was likely to lose his rank for a
tennis player.
Then Olive is a sweet, kind-hearted
girl. Witness the fact that though
the major share of the attentions Of
the young men of Norwich, Conn.,,
has always fallen to her lot she has
never aroused the jealousy OF her girl
friends. On the> contrary, they are
numerous and sincere. Then, she Is
accomplished. She can draw and
paint. But that is not all. German
girls may be as insistent as they
please In advancing their claim to
precedence in the world of house
keepers, but who ever heard Of
New Highlander who would yield place
to them? Olive is true to the ira
ditions of the distaff side of her fam
lily. And Olive is a Huntingdon
Charming Huntington! If those names
do not at once inspire you with awe
look up the annals of the American
nobility and you will realize your own
shortcomings in the matter of history.
Besides,t the Huntingtons were some
body" even before the Mayffower car
ried them to these shores in 1888.
Joachim Has Talent.
But what of Prince Joachim? Had
he nothing to offer for the favor OF
the young American girl?
Well, the daughters of the U. 8. A
are supposed to admire, above all,
men who are practical. Who could
be more so than a Hohenzollern?
This royal family does not rely on
mere rank. If a revolution should
upset the throne of their fathers to-
morrow not one Of the kaiser's six
sons but could earn his living. Prince
Joachim might be a smith! But he
is much more likely to choose the
career of a musician. and he would
be no insignificant one, either Only
last June a phantasy of his in =
minor was performed with marked
success at Carlsbad. Again, not many
years ago, there was talk of sending
him in for competition at the Olympic
games, for the prince is also an ath-
lete. But why enumerate his various
claims to beauty's regard? Suffice 1t
is to say that he inherits from his
ancestors those qualities, both physi-
cal and mental, that helped them to
make a great kingdom out of a small
electorate and a consolidated empire
out of host of struggling and SQUAD
bling principalities. And who could
expect or deserve more?
Dan Cupid at Work.
Well, whether these young people
were attracted By each others many
and estimable qualities is doubtful.
