1t Is reported in Berlin on what is de-
scribed as good authority that Miss
Nancy Leishman, daughter OF Mr.. John
ambassador to Germany, and the Duke
of Croy will be married at Geneva Octo-
Der %.
The engagement was announced last
May. since when it received widespread
notice because of assertions that the ira
ditions of German nobility would not per-
init Miss Leishman to become a recog-
niZed member of the court.
No abatement of the disfavor with
which the match is regarded by the no
biiity has occurred, and there have been
assertions that Miss Leishman's claim to
the rank and title of duchess II she be-
comes the wife of the Duke of Croy
will be contested in the courts of justice
by some of the dukes relatives.
AS the dukes title Is of French origin,
however. he Is said to be not directly
within the Jurisdiction of the German
princely laws, and therefore the status
of the bride might rot easily be deter
mined.
The house of Croy was mediatized by
Napoleon. and 1t is said that neither EN-
perOr William nor Emperor Francis Jo-
seph has any idea of attempting to par
the duke from the enjoyment or his feu-
dial estates at Duelmen, Westphalia, In
case he contracts the marriage with the
American girl.
The duke became of legal age-twenty-
four--last April, and he has since taken
the stand that he will manage his own
affairs.
