wedding that the late Emperor Francis
Joseph would at the instance of his
sister-in-law, the Archduchess Marie
Therese, bestow upon Dom Miguel.
who was her nephew, an Austrian mo-
hillary and non.royal title Of prince
or of count, which the young fellow
could have shared with his American
bride. But this was on the under
standing that Miguers American
mother-in-law would pay off his alto
gether colossal debts. which for sew
eral years prior to his marriage had
been source of continual scandal not
alone in Austria and Hungary but also
In Berlin, Paris and In London.
Many of his debts were settled by
his mother-in-law. But there seemed
no end to them. She soon felt herself
compelled to call halt and became
convinced she was being imposed up
on. This led to more unsavory law
suits against Dom Miguel and the SEN
sational seizure Of his household ef.
fects at his residence in Vienna.
The old emperor would not hear Of
bestowing upon Dom Miguel and upon
his American bride, any Austrian
title, and as they were precluded
by contract and agreement from
styling themselves prince and princess
of Braganza, they had to content
themselves with a very unsatisfactory
makeshift In the form of Portuguese
title of duke of vizeu. conferred upon
Miguel by his father and namesake'
the duke of Braganza.
Now the duke Of Braganza had no
right or power whatsoever, to bestow
upon his son the dukedom Of Vizeu
or any other title of nobility. The
grant of such titles Is restricted ex-
clusively to reigning soyereigns. As
| for the duke Of Braganza, he cannot
even claim to be an ex-monarch. He
has never occupied throne. He Is
the son of a Portuguese who had
seized the crown Of Portugal from his
neice, the girl Queen Maria della
Gloria OF Portugal. which he was COM
PEELED to abandon In 1884. renouncing
all his pretensions and rights to the
crown and seeking refuge In Austria.
To make matters worse, Dom Miguel
took prominent part in an oil COM
pany that came to grief. The stock
holders sued him on charges OF mis-
representation. To save him his rel
| ntiyes in Austria obtained decree
from the tribunals Of the dual empire
placing him under @curatel," that Is
| to say. diyesting him OF all civic. legal
and financial responsibility and reduc-
ing him to the status Of a minor OF

ing him as an indischarged bankrupt.
OF course that MADE his position
In Austria impossible, and any expee-
tations which his American wife had
entertained of being welcomed at the
courts of Vienna. of Berlin. and of the
other monarchical countries of Europe,
or evenly privately by his royal and
imperial relatives, In Austria, were
dashed to the ground.
Dom Miguel and his wife took up
their abode In London with her
mother. who had a fine house there.
With the outbreak of the war In 1914
her position in England became very
difficult. Her husband, as an Aus
trian subject and native and as a
former officer of the Saxon cavalry,
was an enemy alien. They had to
leave England in order to avoid intern
ment. They went to Berlin, where
Dom Mlguels commission In the Sax
on cavalry Of the Guard was restored
to him.
Six months later, In March, 1915,
when Portugal joined the cause Of
the allies, Dom Miguel at the instance
of his father, the duke Of Braganza.
resigned his commission In the Sax
on army and withdrew with his wife
and children to Switzerland. The
duke of Braganza felt that 1t would
destroy any prospect he might have
Of eventually becoming king at Lisbon
II he and his sons were to remain In
Germany and Austria-that is to say,
countries with which Portugal was at
war. Matters reached crisis when
the United States Joined the war and
the American trustees of his wife's
property were prevented by United
States law from forwarding to her
any further supplies, her estate being
temporarily sequestrated by the fed
eral custodian Of alien enemy prop
erty.
So Dom Miguel left his wife and
children to their own devices and be-
took himself once mere to Germany,
where the kaiser bestowed upon him
commission as captain Of the Sixth
Prussian Lancer regiment, with pay
and allowances.
Dom Miguel's American wife and
his children, abandoned to their fate
In Switzerland, were subjected to
many privations. As peace between
this country and Germany had not YET
been definitely concluded, and Dom
Miguel, as an officer Of the German
army. was technically still an enemy
alien, a disability shared by his Amer
lean born wife and by mis- children
she experienced the utmost difficulty
| In obtaining permission from the Uni
ted States government to return T.
her native land.
But she Is home again at last.
Doubtless the big Statue Of Libert.
looks good to many Of these American
born women-after the experience o

for his stock In trade.
"While the name still sticks to In

"Up to the time of the passage OF

said, providing for the labelling OF
all wet goods handled by express

It was comparatively easy matter
to get plentiful supply of liquor from

to smuggle in by water or automobile

.Aatl .oxnlkx In EurOnab
Anita Stewart is the only daughter
Of William Rhlnelander Stewart of New
York City and of his former wife, now
Mrs. Jean Saint Cyr. She made her
debut In 1904 at dinner dance given
by her uncle, Lispenard Stewart. She
brought with her from Europe her
three children, a girl In her tenth
year and two boys Of eight and five
years.
In one respect at least the woman,
who was Anita Stewart, is more for
tunate than most American wives OF
alien enemies. She need not worry
about financial affairs. Her trustees
have kept her own fortune intact. Her
father is wealthy. Her mother, with
, whom she is to take up her residence
In California, is very rich, her hus-
band having been Henry "Silent"
Smith. who made fortune In Chica-
20 and added to 1t In New York.
But the former Anita Stewart is by
no means equally assured of her name
and of her status. Her friends OF
former days may be somewhat per-
picked as to the manner In which
they should address her, says the New
York Sun. Her husband, the former
Prince Miguel of Braganza, when he
married her in Scotland In 1909, was
only permitted by his family to wed
her on the condition OF renouncing his
stains as Prince Of the Blood as well
as OF a member Of the Royal HOUSE
of Braganza. and had further to sac
ritice all his possible rights and
claims of succession of the throne OF
Portugal.
So. since Dom Miguel could not
