Won a more atfcrtinnatc regard from his
people than his uncle had. and quite a.
warm a place in the hearts Of many as his
great uncle enjoys. Everybody seems proud
OF him and confident of his future success

AT p years Of age he finds himself with
little more than a military training. lie

In his army work there has been nothing Of

and studied and learned and observed and
done hi duty in every way without for one
moment claiming or H. iring any special
consideration on account of bis high rank.
Indeed he would nave beer very much sur
pri~ed If anybody had suggested that he
should be shown any extraordinary favors
or preference.
lie began as a cavalry lieutenant and
was most popular among hi comrades
who never felt that An imperial highnesS
and future monarch was IN their corps. He
performed his duties with the utmost ex-
~actness and was just n punctiIious in hi~
behaviour 10 the senior officers a. any
Young subaltern. No duty was too small.

Going later into the infantry, the arch
duke has always looked back On his ser
vice IN the cavalry a. the most delightful
time Of his life. lie was proud to ride into
n new garrison at the head of his squadron
and il was generally said in the regiment
that the officers in his squadron had the
best time Of any. lie was hoSpitable "a a
high degree and none the less % after hi
marriage with the Princess Zita W Parmn.
who N just a. well liked a. her husband.
When She accompanied him II biz CARR

wife and not a. an archduchncss. She
went and called upon the wives of al the
officers senior IN rank 10 the archduke in
stead Of waiting for them to call upon her.
She took the greatest interest. not onlv IN
regimental affairs. but also IN the inhahit-
ants Of the country districts where the
regiment was stationed and became greatly
beloved BY the Jews IN one Of the small
garri~ons In Galicia. She went out among
the people there and talked 10 the chfrrpn
and gave them little gifts such as no Of
ficer's wife had ever lone before.
But 80 long as Francis Ferdinand was
