Berlin, June 27.-Countess Ina Won
Bassewitz, the beautiful daughter of an
old Russian nobleman. has literally sung
her way into the hearts of all the Hohen-

She is known as the Nightingale Coun-
tess" A truly romantic story attaches to
her engagement 10 Prince Oscar, the fifth
son Of the German Kaiser.
1t seems that the young countess and
the Kaiser's daughter. Princess Luise.
now Duchess of Brunswick, were great
friends before the latter's marriage. They
met at Schwerin, some years ago, and
there the princess heard for the first
time the countess's exquisite voice.
She fell in love with her at once and
they became the dearest Of friends.
Luise, a lover of music herself, wanted
her brother. Oscar, to hear the gifted
cantatrice and introduced him to Ina. The
telltale voice, to say nothing Of the coun-
tess's beauty and personal charm. soon
captivated the heart OF the young man.
He fell head over heels in love with
her. Then one by one she met other
whom were in turn bewitched by her
singing. The stern old Kaiser at first
opposed the match. The other members
